LEB(i)
2 Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
"Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, 3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!'"* 4 John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming* a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the Judean region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
