emtv @Mark:1:1 @. THE BEGINNING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST , THE SON OF GOD . * As it is written in the Prophets : "Behold , I send My messenger before Your face , who will prepare Your way before You ." * "A voice of one crying in the wilderness : 'In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD ; make His paths straight .' " * John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins . * And all the Judean country and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River , confessing their sins . * Now John was clothed with camel 's hair and with a leather belt around his waist , and was eating locusts and wild honey . * And he was preaching , saying , "There comes One after me who is stronger than me , of whom I am not worthy to stoop down and to loose the strap of His [ ]sandal . * I baptized you in water , but He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit ."
