Mark 1:4-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.

⁵ And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

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

⁷ And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

⁸ I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
