Mark, Chapter 1, verses 2-8

² As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:“BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER^aAHEAD OF YOU,
WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;

³THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
‘MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.’”

⁴ John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness^bpreaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁵ And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. ⁶ John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and^chis diet was locusts and wild honey. ⁷ And he was^dpreaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals. ⁸ I baptized you^ewith water; but He will baptize you^fwith the Holy Spirit.”
