Calling the Disciples

Mark 1:9-20

Samir Afghan

From Nazareth in Galilee, Jesus goes to the Jordan River, where John baptizes him. When Jesus comes out of the water, the heavens open and the Holy Spirit descends on him in the form of a dove. A voice comes from heaven saying, "You are my beloved son, I am well pleased with you." Immediately, the spirit takes him to the desert where satan tempts Jesus. Jesus chooses his disciples to learn from him and serve with him.
