The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ.

After John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the good news from God,

saying, "The time has come and the reign of God is near; repent, and believe this good news."

And the men who tended them ran away and spread the news in the town and in the country around, and the people came to see what had happened.

And Jesus forbade them to tell anyone about it, but the more he forbade them the more they spread the news far and wide.

For whoever wants to preserve his own life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me and for the good news will preserve it.

Jesus said, "I tell you, there is no one who has given up home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or land for me and for the good news,

For before the end the good news must be preached to all the heathen.

I tell you, wherever the good news is preached all over the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her."

And he said to them, "Go to the whole world and proclaim the good news to all the creation.
