Mark 1:6-19 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

6. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

7. And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8. I baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

9. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

10. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:

11. And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

12. And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.

13. And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

14. Now after that John was delivered up, 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 ye, and believe in the gospel.

16. And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea: for they were fishers.

17. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18. And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.

19. And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.
