Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
8 Then God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, 9 “As for Me, behold, (A)I establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 11 Indeed I establish My covenant with you; and all flesh shall (B)never again be cut off by the water of the flood, (C)and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 Then God said, “This is (D)the sign of the covenant which I am giving to be between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for [a]all successive generations; 13 I put My (E)bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. 14 And it will be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, 15 and (F)I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and (G)never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 So the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it, to remember the (H)everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

18 For (A)Christ also suffered for sins (B)once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might (C)bring you to God, having been put to death (D)in the flesh, but made alive (E)in the [a]spirit; 19 in [b]which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the (F)patience of God (G)kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of (H)the ark, in which a few, that is, (I)eight (J)persons, were brought safely through the [c]water. 21 (K)Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—(L)not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal [d]of a (M)good conscience to God—through (N)the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 (O)who is at the right hand of God, (P)having gone into heaven, (Q)after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.
The Baptism of Jesus
9 [a](A)Now it happened that 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 [b]opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “(C)You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
12 (D)And immediately the Spirit *drove Him to go out into the wilderness. 13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by (E)Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
14 (F)Now after John had been delivered up into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, [c](G)preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “(H)The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God [d]is at hand; (I)repent and [e]believe in the gospel.”
