41:001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
41:001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
41:001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.
41:001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
41:001:005 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
41:001:006 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
41:001:007 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
41:001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost.
41:001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from

41:001:016 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
41:001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
41:001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
41:001:019 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the
ship mending their nets.
41:001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left their father
Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after
him.
41:001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath
