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, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came, and were baptized.

you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;

before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.

He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism."

Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
