Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

THEN in those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the desert country of Judea,

when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;

Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised.

even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

And he asked them, Into what then were ye baptised? And they replied, Into John's baptism.

And now why delay? arise, to be baptised, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.
