1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;2As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.4John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.35And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
