John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

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

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
