Mark 1:9-13
The Baptism of Jesus
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of
Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And
when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn
open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And
a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son;[a] with you I
am well pleased.”
The Temptation of Jesus
12 The Spirit immediately drove him out
into the wilderness. 13 And he was in
the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild
animals, and the angels were ministering to him.

Psalm 8
How Majestic Is Your Name
To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.[a] A Psalm of
David.
8 O Lord, our Lord,
how
majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to
still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the
moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
and
the son of man that you care for him?
5 Yet you have made him a little
lower than the heavenly beings[b]
and
crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works
of your hands;
you
have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and
also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of
the sea,
whatever
passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how
majestic is your name in all the earth!
