Mark 1:2-8
American Standard Version
2 Even as it is written [a]in Isaiah the prophet,
[b]Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
Who shall prepare thy way;
3 [c]The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight;
4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not [d]worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I baptized you [e]in water; but he shall baptize you [f]in the Holy Spirit.
