Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Wilderness of Judea

during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, God’s word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water there. People were coming and being baptized,

You know the events that took place throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John preached:

Before He came to public attention, John had previously proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

“Then what baptism were you baptized with?” he asked them.

“With John’s baptism,” they replied.

And now, why delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins by calling on His name.’
