Mark 1:9-13

First Edition - 1903

9At that time Jesus came [f]rom Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan; 10and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him; 11and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight" (Ps. ii. 7; Isa. xlii. 1).
12At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the desert, 13where He remained forty days tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.

First Edition - 1903

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing that exists came into being. 4In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

First and Second Edition

1But let me recall to you, brethren, the Good News which I brought you, which you accepted, and on which you are standing, 2through which also you are obtaining salvation, if you bear in mind the words in which I proclaimed it—unless indeed your faith has been unreal from the very first. 3For I repeated to you the all-important fact which also I had been taught, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4that He was buried, that He rose to life again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and was seen by Peter, and then by the Twelve. 6Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have now fallen asleep. 7Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the apostles. 8And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared to me also.

1Now let me recall to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which you accepted, and in which you stand; 2through which also you are saved, if you hold to the substance of my preaching—unless indeed your faith was mere caprice. 3I transmitted to you before all else what had also been transmitted to me, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; 4that He was buried; that He rose on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5and was seen by Cephas, and then by the Twelve. 6Afterwards He was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once, most of whom are still alive, although some of them have died. 7Afterwards He was seen by James, and then by all the Apostles. 8And last of all He appeared to me also, to this abortion, so to speak, of an apostle.
