3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John was baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camels hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth to Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan.
