1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved.

upon the face of the waters.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4And God saw the light, that it was good:

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

(Mark 1:9-11) In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. {10} And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. {11} And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased." (NRSV)
