Mark 1:7-17

The Message Bible MSG

7 As he preached he said, "The real action comes next: The star in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will change your life.

8 I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. His baptism - a holy baptism by the Holy Spirit - will change you from the inside out."

9 At this time, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10 The moment he came out of the water, he saw the sky split open and God's Spirit, looking like a dove, come down on him.

11 Along with the Spirit, a voice: "You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life."

12 At once, this same Spirit pushed Jesus out into the wild.

13 For forty wilderness days and nights he was tested by Satan. Wild animals were his companions, and angels took care of him.

14 After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee preaching the Message of God:

15 "Time's up! God's kingdom is here. Change your life and believe the Message."

16 Passing along the beach of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew net-fishing. Fishing was their regular work.

17 Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass."

New International Version NIV

8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John 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.

11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness,

13 and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.

15 “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
