Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And John also was baptizing in AEnon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

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

And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
