Mark 1:2-5 The Beginning of Jesus' Ministry

2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”—

3 “a voice of one calling in the desert,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”

4 And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
