New Century Version

Mark 1:10-17 New Century Version (NCV)

10. Immediately, as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven open. The Holy Spirit came down on him like a dove,

11. and a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love, and I am very pleased with you.”

12. Then the Spirit sent Jesus into the desert.

13. He was in the desert forty days and was tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels came and took care of him.

14. After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Good News from God.

15. He said, “The right time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Change your hearts and lives and believe the Good News!”

16. When Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the lake because they were fishermen.

17. Jesus said to them, “Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people.”
