There are at least 10 different Bible Translations available at your local book store.
Why?
What’s the difference?
Let’s talk about it.
Mark 1:12-13
KJV: “And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.”
ESV: “The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 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.”
NIV: “At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.”
NLT: “The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him.”

A good method is two pick three (I recommend ESV, NIV and NLT) to cover the spectrum and compare them to each other if you have questions or what clarity on the message.
