Mark 1:12-28

12That instant, the Ruach drives Him into the wilderness.

13He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by satan. And He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were taking care of Him.

14Now after John was put in jail, Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God.

15“Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!”

16Passing along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Simon’s brother Andrew casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.

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

18Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

19Going a little farther, He saw Jacob the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

20Immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired hands and followed Him.

21And they went into Capernaum. Right away, on Shabbat, He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

22And they were astounded at His teaching, for He was teaching them as one having authority and not as the Torah scholars.

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

24“What have we to do with You, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are! You’re the Holy One of God!”

25Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Quiet! Come out of him!”

26And the unclean spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.

27They were all so amazed that they asked among themselves, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

28And immediately news about Him spread throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
