Mark 1:9-15

New International Version

The Baptism and Testing of Jesus^(A)(B)

⁹ At that time Jesus came from Nazareth^(C) in Galilee and was baptized by John^(D) in the Jordan. ¹⁰ Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.^{(E) 11} And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,^(F) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”^(G)

¹² At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, ¹³ and he was in the wilderness forty days,^(H) being tempted^[a] by Satan.^(I) He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

Jesus Announces the Good News^(J)

¹⁴ After John^(K) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,^(L) proclaiming the good news of God.^{(M) 15} “The time has come,”^(N) he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe^(O) the good news!”^(P)
