Bible (WNT) NT 02: Mark

Description

001:001 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

001:002 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, “See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way”;

001:003 “The voice of one crying aloud: ‘In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'”

001:004 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.

001:005 There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.

001:006 As for John, his garment was of camel’s hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

001:007 His announcement was, “There is One coming after me mightier than I-One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.

001:008 I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

001:009 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;

001:010 and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;

001:011 and a voice came from the sky, saying, “Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight.”

001:012 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,

001:013 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.

001:014 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God’s Good News.

001:015 “The time has fully come,” He said, “and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
