Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

At that time appeared John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

under the pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas, JOHN, the son of Zacharias, received his divine commission in the wilderness.

and baptized, while John was likewise baptizing in Enon, near Salim, it being a place abounding with water: so that people came to be baptized there.

you know, how his fame spread from Galilee through all Judea, after the baptism which John had preach'd:

before his appearance, John had preach'd the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

what baptism then, said he, did you receive? they replied, the baptism of John.

why should you now delay? arise, be baptized, and cleansed from your sins, by invoking the name of the Lord.
