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,

when Annas and Caiaphas were highpriests, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

And John also was baptizing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.

Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached,

before whose coming forward John had first preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into Johns baptism.

And now why dost thou delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
