1 The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in the Prophets,“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,who will prepare your way before you:
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness,‘Make ready the way of the Lord!Make his paths straight!’”
4 Yochanan came immersing in the wilderness and proclaiming the immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were immersed by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
