Mark 1:12-19 Good News Bible (GNB)

12. At once the Spirit made him go into the desert,

13. where he stayed forty days, being tempted by Satan. Wild animals were there also, but angels came and helped him.

14. After John had been put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee and preached the Good News from God.

15. “The right time has come,” he said, “and the Kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins and believe the Good News!”

16. As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Simon and his brother Andrew, catching fish with a net.

17. Jesus said to them, “Come with me, and I will teach you to catch people.”

18. At once they left their nets and went with him.

19. He went a little farther on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat getting their nets ready.
