Mark 1:2-8
English Standard Version
2 (A)As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,[a]
(B)“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 (C)the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(D)‘Prepare[b] the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”
4 (E)John appeared, baptizing in (F)the wilderness and proclaiming (G)a baptism of (H)repentance (I)for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, (J)confessing their sins. 6 Now John was (K)clothed with camel's hair and (L)wore a leather belt around his waist and ate (M)locusts and (N)wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, (O)“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 (P)I have baptized you with water, but (Q)he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Mark 1:2-8
New International Version
2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[a](A)—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[b](B)
4 And so John the Baptist(C) appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance(D) for the forgiveness of sins.(E) 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist,(F) and he ate locusts(G) and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.(H) 8 I baptize you with[c] water, but he will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit.”(I)
