Mark 1:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ So John went to a place in the wilderness. He baptized people and he spoke a message from God.^[a] He said to people, ‘You have done many wrong things. You must turn away from them and change how you live. Then God will forgive you and I will baptize you.’

⁵ Many people who lived in Jerusalem and in the country of Judea went to listen to John.^[b] The people told God about all the wrong things that they had done. Then John baptized them in the Jordan River. ⁶ John wore clothes made from the hair of a camel. He also wore a belt made from leather. His usual food was locusts and honey from the wilderness.
