“Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make his paths straight.’”
1:4 In the wilderness John the baptizer began preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5 People from the whole Judean countryside and all of Jerusalem were going out to him, and he was baptizing them in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.
1:6 John wore a garment made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
1:7 He proclaimed, “One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals.
1:8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus
1:9 Now in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
1:10 And just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
1:11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.”
1:12 The Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness.
1:13 He was in the wilderness forty days, enduring temptations from Satan. He was with wild animals, and angels were ministering to his needs.
Preaching in Galilee and the Call of the Disciples
1:14 Now after John was imprisoned, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
1:15 He said, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!”
1:16 As he went along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
1:17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”

Philippians 4:10-17
Appreciation for Support
4:10 I have great joy in the Lord because now at last you have again expressed your concern for me. (Now I know you were concerned before but had no opportunity to do anything.)
4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in any circumstance.
4:12 I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment, whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.
4:13 I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me.
4:14 Nevertheless, you did well to share with me in my trouble.
4:15 And as you Philippians know, at the beginning of my gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in this matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
4:16 For even in Thessalonica on more than one occasion you sent something for my need.
4:17 I do not say this because I am seeking a gift. Rather, I seek the credit that abounds to your account.
