Mark 1:3 In-Context

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.
