4 Fuit Ioannes in deserto baptizans, et praedicans baptismum poenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum.
It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.

And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

9 Et factum est: in diebus illis venit Iesus a Nazareth Galileae: et baptizatus est a Ioanne in Iordane.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
10 Et statim ascendens de aqua, vidit caelos apertos, et Spiritum Sanctum tamquam columbam descendentem, et manentem in ipso.
And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove.
11 Et vox facta est de caelis: Tu es Filius meus dilectus, in te complacui.

12 Et statim Spiritus expulit eum in desertum.

19 Et progressus inde pusillum, vidit Iacobum Zebedaei, et Ioannem fratrem eius, et ipsos componentes retia in navi:
And having advanced a little from there he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 et statim vocavit illos. Et relicto patre suo Zebedaeo in navi cum mercenariis, secuti sunt eum.

23 Et erat in synagoga eorum homo in spiritu immundo: et exclamavit,

26 Et discerpens eum spiritus immundus, et exclamans voce magna exiit ab eo.

And he says to him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.
