Mark 1:1-11

1Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of 1God;

2as it is written in [Isaiah] the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.

3Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.

4There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

5And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

6And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.

7And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

8I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.

9And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.

10And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

11And there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
