Mark 1:9-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Is Baptized By John. God Expresses His Pleasure. Jesus Is Tempted By Satan
9 And it came about during those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10 And immediately while ascending[a] out-of the water, He saw the heavens being divided[b] and the Spirit like a dove descending to[c] Him. 11 And a voice came from the heavens— “You are My beloved Son. With You I was[d] well-pleased”. 12 And immediately the Spirit sends Him out[e] into the wilderness. 13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan. And He was with the wild-beasts. And the angels were ministering[f] to Him.

Matthew 1:18-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Birth of The King: Jesus Is Born To a Virgin In Fulfillment of Isaiah
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: His mother Mary having been promised-in-marriage[a] to Joseph, before they came-together she was found having a child in the womb by the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband[b], being righteous and not wanting to publicly-expose[c] her, intended to send her away[d] secretly[e]. 20 And he having pondered these things, behold— an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for the child having been fathered[f] in her is by the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will give-birth to a Son. And you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. 22 And[g] this entire thing has taken place in order that the thing might be fulfilled having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying 23 ‘Behold— the virgin will have a child in the womb, and she will give-birth to a Son. And they will call His name “Immanuel”’” [Isa 7:14], which being translated is “God with us”. 24 And Joseph, having arisen from the sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took her as his wife. 25 And he was not knowing[h] her until which time she gave-birth to a Son. And he called His name Jesus.
