Mark 1:8-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

9. And it happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10. And immediately, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with him.

11. And there was a voice from heaven: "You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased."

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.
