Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,

And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.
And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
