Mark 1:4-11
4John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5There went out to him all the country of Judea, and all those of Jerusalem. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6John was clothed with camel`s hair and a leather belt around his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
9It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11A voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
