1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send My messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.”
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 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.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
John the Baptist Prepares the Way – (Mark 1:1-8) KJV
