Satan Tempts Jesus^(A)

^12 (B)Immediately the Spirit ^[a]drove Him into the wilderness. ¹³ And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; ^(C)and the angels ministered to Him.

^14 (E)Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, ^(F)preaching the gospel ^[b]of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵ and saying, ^(G)“The time is fulfilled, and ^(H)the kingdom of God ^[c]is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples^(I)

^16 (J)And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become ^(K)fishers of men.” ^18 (L)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

¹⁹ When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. ²⁰ And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit^(M)

^21 (N)Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the ^(O)synagogue and taught. ^22 (P)And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

¹³ But to which of the angels has He ever said:

^14 (B)Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will ^(C)inherit salvation?

¹² To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to ^[a]us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which ^(A)angels desire to look into.

^12 (A)But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths ^[a]lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.
