Mark 1:2-8
2 ajust as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:“ bBehold, I am sending My messenger ▼
▼Lit before your face
before You, Who will prepare Your way;
3 dThe voice of one calling ▼
▼Or out, Prepare in the wilderness the way
out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight!’”
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, ▼
▼Or proclaiming
,
gpreaching a baptism of repentance for the hforgiveness of sins. 5And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore ia leather belt around his waist, and ▼▼Lit was eating
his diet was locusts and wild honey. 7And he was ▼▼Or proclaiming
preaching, saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to bend down and untie the straps of His sandals. 8I baptized you ▼▼The Gr here can be translated in, with, or by
with water; but He will baptize you ▼▼The Gr here can be translated in, with, or by
with the Holy Spirit.”
