* 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 thy face , which shall prepare thy way before thee . * The voice of one crying in the wilderness , Prepare ye the way of the Lord , make his paths straight . * John did baptize in the wilderness , and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins . * 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 . * 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 ; * 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 . * I indeed have baptized you with water : but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost .
