Mark:1:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus ,
the Christ ,
Son of God ,
*
as it is written in the prophets ,
Behold ,
I send my messenger before thy face ,
who 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 baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for remission of sins .
*
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea and those of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan ,
confessing their sins .
*
John was clothed with camel '
s hair and with a girdle of a skin about his loins ;
and he ate locusts and wild honey
*
and preached ,
saying ,
There comes 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 Spirit .
