Mark 1:12-28

12Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

13And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

16And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

17Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”

18They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

19When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

20And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

21Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.

22And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,

24saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

26And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

28And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
