Mark 1:3-8

31The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight.’” 4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness 23preaching a baptism of repentance for the 4forgiveness of sins. 5And 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. 6John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore 5a leather belt around his waist, and 6his diet was locusts and wild honey. 7And he was 7preaching, 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. 8I baptized you 8with water; but He will baptize you 9with the Holy Spirit.”
