Mark 1:9-13

9It was in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10Immediately on coming up out of the water, he saw the heaven opened, and the Spirit as a dove descended unto him, 11and there was a voice out of heaven saying, Thou art my beloved son; in thee I am well pleased.
12Then without delay, the Spirit drove him into the desert, 13and he was in the desert forty days tested by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, and angels ministered to him.

John 1:1-5

First Edition

In the beginning was the TRUTH and the TRUTH was with God, and God was the TRUTH. The same was in the beginning with God. All things through him came into being, and without him came not even one thing that has come into being. In him was life, and the life was the light of men, and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not.

Third Edition

1In the beginning was the TRUTH and the TRUTH was with God, and God was the TRUTH. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things through him came into being, and without him came not even one thing that has come into being. 4In him was life, and the life was the light of men, 5and the light is shining in the darkness, but the darkness has not made use of it.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

First Edition

I further make known to you brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, and which you received; in which you also stood; by which you are also saved, if you hold fast to the word which I preached to you — unless you have believed without consideration.

For I gave you what I received among things of first importance; namely, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he has been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the Twelve; then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time; most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one born in abortion, he appeared to me.

Third Edition

1I further make known to you brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, and which you received; in which you also stood; by which you are also saved, if you hold fast to the word which I preached to you — unless you have believed ineffectively.

3For I gave you what I received among things of first importance; namely, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he has been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the Twelve; then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time; most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

7After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles. 8Last of all, as to one born unnaturally, he appeared to me.
