Mark 1:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,

Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,

and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being baptized --

ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached;

John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel;

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

and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.
