Verses 1–10
1 Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son ofGod;
2 as it is written in [Isaiah] the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.
4 There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.
10 And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.
