Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

And John also was baptising in Aenon, near Salim, because there was a great deal of water there; and they came to him and were baptised:

ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached --

John having proclaimed before the face of his entry among the people the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.

And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.
