Mark 1:12-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And immediately the Spirit prompted him into the desert.

13. And he was in the desert for forty days and forty nights. And he was tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the Angels ministered to him.

14. Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,

15. and saying: "For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel."

16. And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen.

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

18. And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.

19. And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.

20. And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.

21. And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them.

22. And they were astonished over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes.

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

24. saying: "What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God."

25. And Jesus admonished him, saying, "Be silent, and depart from the man."

26. And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him.
