Mark 1:14

12 At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,

13 and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.

15 “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”

16 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
