Scripture for Sunday
Mark 1:1-8 (ESV)
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
[2] As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
[3] the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
Prepare the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight."
[4] John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. [5] And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. [6] Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. [7] And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. [8] I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
