1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God:
2 [a]As it is written in the [b]Prophets, (A)Behold, [c]I send my messenger [d]before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 (B)The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, is, Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight.
4 (C)[e]John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the [f]baptism of amendment of life, for remission of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea, and they of Jerusalem went out unto him, and were all baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 (D)Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins: and he did eat (E)locusts and wild honey,
7 (F)[g]And preached, saying, A stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to [h]stoop down, and unloose.
8 Truth it is, I have [i]baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the holy Ghost.
9 ¶ (G)[j]And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 [k]And as soon as [l]he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens cloven in twain, and the holy Ghost descending upon him like a dove.
11 Then there was a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am [m]well pleased.
12 (H)[n]And immediately the Spirit [o]driveth him into the wilderness.
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, and was tempted of Satan: he was also with the wild beasts, and the Angels ministered unto him.
14 ¶ (I)[p]Now after that John was committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe the Gospel.
16 ¶ (J)[q]And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers.)
17 Then Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 [r]And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, as they were in the ship, mending their nets.
20 And anon he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants, and went their way after him.
21 ¶ So (K)they entered into [s]Capernaum: and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonied at his doctrine, (L)for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the Scribes.
