Mark 1:2-8

2As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:1

“Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You,who will prepare Your way.”23“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,‘Prepare the way for the Lord,make straight paths for Him.’”3

4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

6John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 7And he proclaimed: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8I baptize you with water,4 but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.5”
