Mark 1:4-7

John came baptizing  , in the wilderness  and proclaiming a baptism of repentance  for the forgiveness  of sins.  The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem  were going out to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan  River, confessing  their sins.  John wore a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts  and wild honey.  He proclaimed, “One who is more powerful  than I am is coming after me.  I am not worthy  to stoop down and untie the strap of his sandals.
