Mark 1:9-15

New American Standard Bible

The Baptism of Jesus

^9 (A)In those days Jesus ^(B)came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. ¹⁰ And immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens ^[a]opening, and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him; ¹¹ and a voice came from the heavens: “^(C)You are My beloved Son; in You I ^[b]am well pleased.”

^12 (D)And immediately the Spirit *brought Him out into the wilderness. ¹³ And He was in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by ^(E)Satan; and He was with the wild animals, and the angels were serving Him.

Jesus Preaches in Galilee

^14 (F)Now after John was ^[c]taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, ^[d](G)preaching the gospel of God, ¹⁵ and saying, “^(H)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God ^[e]is at hand; ^(I)repent and ^[f]believe in the gospel.”
