Mark 1:1-5

Thomson(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 thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee." 3 "A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord; make the roads for him straight," 4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation, for a remission of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
