7. And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.
8. I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9. In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10. Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
11. and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."
12. Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
13. And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
14. Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15. and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
16. As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
17. And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
18. Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19. Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20. Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
21. They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22. They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23. Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24. saying, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"
