Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Now in those days came John the baptist preaching in the desert part of Judea,

and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias in the wilderness:

And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized.

Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,

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

And he said unto them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.

And now why shouldst thou delay? Arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.
