* Beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ , the Son of God ; * even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah , Behold , I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way . * The voice of one crying aloud . In the desert make ready a road for the Lord . Make his paths straight . * In the desert came Johnwho baptized , and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins ; * and all the land of Judea , and all the people of Jerusalem , kept going out to him , and were baptized by him in the Jordan river , confessing their sins . * And Johnwas clothed with camels hair , and he had a leather girdle round his loins , and he ate locusts , and "honey of the wood ." * He made proclamation . "There is One mightier than I coming after me , and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap ; * I have baptized you in water , but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit ."
