| 1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
| | 1 At the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre. |
| 2 and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
| | 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. |
| 3 For this is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one calling out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’ ”
| | 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. |
| 4 Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
| | 4 And the guards shook for fear of him and became as dead men. |
| 5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him
| | 5 And the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus, who was crucified. |
| 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
| | 6 He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. |
| 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to

| generation of vipers! Who has warned you to escape from the wrath to come?
| | 9 And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice." And they came and held Him by the feet and worshipped Him. |
| 8 Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of repentance,
| | 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell My brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they shall see Me." |
| 9 and do not think to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
| | 11 Now when they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and revealed to the chief priests all the things that were done. |
| 10 And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
| | 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and had taken counsel, they gave a large amount of money to the soldiers, |
| 11 I indeed baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than me, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

| 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
| | 14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will persuade him and secure you." |
| 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
| | 15 So they took the money and did as they were instructed. And this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. |
| 14 But John prevented Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
| | 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to a mountain that Jesus had appointed for them. |
| 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, because it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
| | 17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him, but some doubted. |

| 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
| |
| 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
| |
| 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
| |
| 4 But He replied and said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
| |
| 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple,
| |
| 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. Because it is written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You,’ and, ‘in their hands they will hold You up, lest at any time You strike Your foot against a stone.’ ”
| |
| 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’ ”
| |
| 8 Again, the devil took Him up onto a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world
| |
| and their glory. | |
| 9 And he said to him, “I will give You all these things, if You will fall down and worship me.”
| |
| 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Leave Satan! Because it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve.’ ”
| |
| 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and minister-ed to Him.
| |
| 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John had been thrown into prison, He departed to Galilee.
| |
| 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came
| |
| and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea coast, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
| |
| 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
| |
| 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
| |
| 16 The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”
| |
| 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
| |
| 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; because they were fishermen.
| |
| 19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
| |
| 20 And they immediately left their nets, and followed Him.
| |
| 21 And going on from there, He saw two more brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.
| |
| 22 And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
| |
| 23 Then Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all types of sickness and every kind of disease among the people.
| |
| 24 And His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him every sick person who was afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, those who were insane, and paralytics; and He healed them.
| |
| 25 And large crowds of people followed Him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
