Mark 1:1-13.

Mark 1:1-13 (GNT).

1 "This is the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 It
began as the prophet Isaiah had written: "God said, 'I will send my
messenger ahead of you to open the way for you.' 3 Someone is shouting
in the desert, 'Get the road ready for the Lord; make a straight path
for him to travel!'" 4 So John appeared in the desert, baptizing and
preaching. "Turn away from your sins and be baptized," he told the
people, "and God will forgive your sins." 5 Many people from the
province of Judea and the city of Jerusalem went out to hear John.
They confessed their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River. 6
John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his
waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 7 He announced to the
people, "The man who will come after me is much greater than I am. I
am not good enough even to bend down and untie his sandals. 8 I
baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
" 9 Not long afterward Jesus came from Nazareth in the province of
Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 As soon as Jesus
came up out of the water, he saw heaven opening and the Spirit coming
down on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, "You are my
own dear Son. I am pleased with you." 12 At once the Spirit made him
go into the desert, 13 where he stayed forty days, being tempted by
Satan. Wild animals were there also, but angels came and helped him."

God bless you.
