Mark 1:14-16

Amplified Bible

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

¹⁴ Now after John [the Baptist] was arrested and ^[a]taken into custody, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of [the kingdom of] God, ¹⁵ and saying, “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].”

¹⁶ As Jesus was walking by the shore of the ^[b]Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon [Peter] and Simon’s brother, ^[c]Andrew, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
