Mark 1:9-11

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the

Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens

being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from

heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Mark 1:12-13

The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the

wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

Mark 1:14-15

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of

God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and

believe in the gospel.”
