The Beginning of the Gospel

1

The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God:

2

It is written in the prophet Yesha`yahu, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare the way before you."

3

"The voice of someone crying out: `In the desert prepare the way for ADONAI! Make straight paths for him!'"

4

So it was that Yochanan the Immerser appeared in the desert, proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven.

5

People went out to him from all over Y'hudah, as did all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. Confessing their sins, they were immersed by him in the Yarden River.

6

Yochanan wore clothes of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.

7

He proclaimed: "After me is coming someone who is more powerful than I -- I'm not worthy even to bend down and untie his sandals.

8

I have immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh."
