* The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ , the Son of God ; * As it is written (5769 ) in the prophets , Behold (5628 ), I send (5719 ) my messenger before thy face , which shall prepare (5692 ) thy way before thee . * The voice of one crying (5723 ) in the wilderness , Prepare ye (5657 ) the way of the Lord , make (5720 ) his paths straight . * John did (5633 ) baptize (5723 ) in the wilderness , and preach (5723 ) the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins . * And there went out (5711 ) unto him all the land of Judaea , and they of Jerusalem , and were all baptized (5712 ) of him in the river of Jordan , confessing (5734 ) their sins . * And John was (5713 ) clothed (5765 ) with camels hair , and with a girdle of a skin about his loins ; and he did eat (5723 ) locusts and wild honey ; * And preached (5707 ), saying (5723 ), There cometh (5736 ) one mightier than I after me , the latchet of whose shoes I am (5748 ) not worthy to stoop down (5660 ) and unloose (5658 ). * I indeed have baptized (5656 ) you with water : but he shall baptize (5692 ) you with the Holy Ghost . * And it came to pass (5633 ) in those days , that Jesus came (5627 ) from Nazareth of Galilee , and was baptized (5681 ) of John in Jordan . * And straightway coming up (5723 ) out of the water , he saw (5627 ) the heavens opened (5746 ), and the Spirit like a dove descending (5723 ) upon him : * And there came (5633 ) a voice from heaven , saying , Thou art (5748 ) my beloved Son , in whom I am well pleased (5656 ). * And immediately the Spirit driveth (5719 ) him into the wilderness . * And he was (5713 ) there in the wilderness forty days , tempted (5746 ) of Satan ; and was (5713 ) with the wild beasts ; and the angels ministered (5707 ) unto him . * Now after that John was put in prison (5683 ), Jesus came (5627 ) into Galilee , preaching (5723 ) the gospel of the kingdom of God , * And saying (5723 ), The time is fulfilled (5769 ), and the kingdom of God is at hand (5758 ): repent ye (5720 ), and believe (5720 ) the gospel . * Now as he walked (5723 ) by the sea of Galilee , he saw (5627 ) Simon and Andrew his brother casting (5723 ) a net into the sea : for they were (5713 ) fishers . * And Jesus said (5627 ) unto them , Come ye (5773 ) after me , and I will make (5692 ) you to become (5635 ) fishers of men . * And straightway they forsook (5631 ) their nets , and followed (5656 ) him . * And when he had gone a little further (5631 ) thence , he saw (5627 ) James the son of Zebedee , and John his brother , who also were in the ship mending (5723 ) their nets . * And straightway he called (5656 ) them : and they left (5631 ) their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants , and went (5627 ) after him . * And they went (5736 ) into Capernaum ; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered (5631 ) into the synagogue , and taught (5707 ). * And they were astonished (5712 ) at his doctrine : for he taught (5723 ) (5713 ) them as one that had (5723 ) authority , and not as the scribes .
