According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet—Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, —
A voice of one crying aloud—In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;

and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;

And it came to pass, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed into the Jordan by John;

And, straightway, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rending asunder, and, the Spirit, as a dove, descending unto him;
and a voice [came] out of the heavens—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, —In thee, I delight.
And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;

And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,

And, passing by near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, —for they were fishers;
and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.

And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,

And Jesus rebuked him, [saying]—Be silenced, and come forth out of him!
And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
