Mark 1:2-8

Thomson(i) 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. 6 Now John's clothing was of camel's hair and he had a leathern girdle about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey. 7 And he proclaimed saying, There is one coming after me, who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I indeed have baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in a holy spirit.
