1 The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua ha-Mashiach, Ben-Elohim.
2 As Isaiah the prophet has written, “Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Adonai, and make His paths straight.’”
4 John appeared, immersing in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion involving repentance for the removal of sins.
5 All the Judean countryside was going out to him, and all the Jerusalemites. As they confessed their sins, they were being immersed by him in the Jordan River.
