Mark 1:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

⁴ John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.

⁵ And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
