RKJNT(i)
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John baptized in the wilderness, and preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the land of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather girdle about his waist; and he ate locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, After me there comes one mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
