The Baptism of Jesus
9 (A)In those days Jesus (B)came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he (C)saw (D)the heavens being torn open (E)and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And (F)a voice came from heaven, (G)“You are my beloved Son;[a] with you I am well pleased.”
The Temptation of Jesus
12 (H)The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 (I)And he was in the wilderness forty days, being (J)tempted by (K)Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and (L)the angels were ministering to him.
Jesus Begins His Ministry
14 (M)Now after John was arrested, Jesus (N)came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, (O)“The time is fulfilled, and (P)the kingdom of God is at hand;[b] (Q)repent and believe in the gospel.”
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
16 (R)Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become (S)fishers of men.”[c] 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

The Baptism and Testing of Jesus(A)(B)
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(C) in Galilee and was baptized by John(D) in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.(E) 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(F) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(G)
12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days,(H) being tempted[a] by Satan.(I) He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
Jesus Announces the Good News(J)
14 After John(K) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,(L) proclaiming the good news of God.(M) 15 “The time has come,”(N) he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe(O) the good news!”(P)
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.(Q)
19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
