4 aJohn came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance1 for the remission of sins.
5 aThen all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was aclothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying, a“There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 aI indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you bwith the Holy Spirit.”
