Picture This- The Gospel of Mark Chapter 1

1 The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ

3 “a voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him

4 And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

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 make you fishers of men.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.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.
