Mark 1 (TRV)

From Textus Receptus

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 will prepare Your way before You.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’”

4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

5 And all the land of Judaea went out to him, and those of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

6 Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leather belt about his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

7 and preached, saying, “He who comes after me is stronger than myself, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
