The Good News According to Mark
1:1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of G.o.d. 1:2 As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.* 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!""* 1:4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. 1:5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. 1:6 John was clothed with camel"s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. 1:7 He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. 1:8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
1:9 It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 1:10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 1:11 A voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
1:12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. 1:13 He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
1:14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of G.o.d, 1:15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of G.o.d is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News."
