Mark 1:6-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

6. John wore clothes made of camel's hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

7. John also told the people, “Someone more powerful is going to come. And I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals.

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

9. About that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the River Jordan.

10. As soon as Jesus came out of the water, he saw the sky open and the Holy Spirit coming down to him like a dove.

11. A voice from heaven said, “You are my own dear Son, and I am pleased with you.”

12. Straight away God's Spirit made Jesus go into the desert.

13. He stayed there for forty days while Satan tested him. Jesus was with the wild animals, but angels took care of him.

14. After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God.
