Mark 1:14-28

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

^14 (A)Now after John was ^[a]taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, ^[b](B)preaching the gospel of God, ¹⁵ and saying, “^(C)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God ^[c]is at hand; ^(D)repent and ^[d]believe in the gospel.”

^16 (E)As He was going along the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will have you become fishers of people.” ¹⁸ Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. ¹⁹ And going on a little farther, He saw ^[e]James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, ^[f]who were also in the boat mending the nets. ²⁰ Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and went away ^[g]to follow Him.

^21 (F)They *went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus ^(G)entered the synagogue and began to teach. ²² And ^(H)they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. ²³ Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴ saying, “^(I)What ^[h]business do you have with us, Jesus ^[i]of ^(J)Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are: ^(K)the Holy One of God!” ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” ²⁶ After throwing him into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all ^(L)amazed, so they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” ²⁸ Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.
