12.05.2020 Gospel Mark Chapter 1

This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God. Isaiah said, "I am sending my messenger before you to prepare the way for you. A voice crying out in the wilderness. Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his way straight." John the Baptist appeared in the desert, proclaiming a baptism for forgiveness of sin. People throughout Judea came to him and all of Jerusalem. He baptized them in the waters of the Jordan as they confessed and acknowledged their sin. Now John was clothed in camel's hair and he fed on locusts and wild honey. And this was the proclamation he made. "There is one who is far mightier than I who is coming after me. I'm not worthy to untie his sandals. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
