The Beginning of the Gospel

1

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2

Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way;

3

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;

4

John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.

5

And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

6

And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

7

And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

8

I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
