Mark 1:1-11

Mark 1:1-11

[1] The beginning  of the gospel  of Jesus  Christ,  the Son  of God;  [2] it is written  in  the prophets,  Behold,  send  messenger  before  face,  which  shall prepare  way  [3] The voice  of one crying  in  the wilderness,  Prepare ye  the way  of the Lord,  make  his  paths  straight.  [4] John  did  baptize  in  the wilderness,  and  preach  the baptism  of repentance  for  the remission  of sins.  [5] And  there went out  unto  him  all  the land  of Judaea,  and  they of Jerusalem,  and  all  baptized  of  him  in  the river  of Jordan,  confessing  their  sins.  [6] John  clothed  with camel's  hair,  and  with a girdle  of a skin  about  his  loins;  and  he did eat  locusts  and  wild  honey;  [7] And  preached,  saying,  There cometh  one mightier than  after  the latchet  of whose  shoes  I am  not  worthy  to stoop down  and unloose.  [8] have baptized  with  water:  but  he  shall baptize  with  the Holy  Ghost.  [9] And  it came to pass  in  those  days,  that Jesus  came  from  Nazareth  of Galilee,  and  was baptized  of  John  in  Jordan.  [10] And  straightway  coming up  the water,  the heavens  opened,  and  the Spirit  a dove  descending  him:  [11] And  there came  a voice  from  heaven,  saying, Thou  beloved  Son,  in  I am well pleased.
