Mark 1:9-13
9-11 And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. And immediately, while He was coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens being rent asunder and the Spirit in the form of a dove descending upon Him. And a voice came out from within heaven, As for you, you are my Son, the beloved one; in you I am well pleased.
12-13 And immediately the Spirit thrusts Him out into the uninhabited place. And He was in the uninhabited region forty days, being constantly put to the test, being
solicited to do evil by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts; and the angels were constantly ministering to Him.
John 1:1-5
1-5 In the beginning the Word was existing. And the Word was in fellowship with God the Father. And the Word was as to His essence absolute deity. This Word was in the beginning in fellowship with God the Father. All things through His intermediate agency came into being, and without Him there came into being not even one thing which has come into existence. In Him life was existing. And this aforementioned life was the light of men. And the light in the darkness is constantly shining. And the darkness did not overwhelm it.
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
1-8 Now, I am making known to you, brethren, the good news which I brought as glad tidings to you, which also you took to yourselves, in which also you have taken a stand, through which you are being saved, in what word I announced it to you as glad tidings, assuming that you are holding it fast unless you believed in vain; for I delivered to you among the first things that which also I received, that Christ died on behalf of our sins accord-ing to the scriptures, and that He was entombed, and that He has been raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, of whom the majority are remaining to the present time, but certain ones fell asleep. After that He appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and in the last of all His appearances, He appeared also to me. an unperfected, stillborn embryo.
