Mark 1:2-8

2 1just as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “2Behold, I am sending My messenger 3before You, Who will prepare Your way;3 4The voice of one calling 5out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!’” 4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, 6 7preaching a baptism of repentance for the 8forgiveness 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 9a leather belt around his waist, and 10his diet was locusts and wild honey. 7And he was 11preaching, saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to bend down and untie the straps of His sandals. 8I baptized you 12with water; but He will baptize you 13with the Holy Spirit.”
