Mark 1:1-3

American Standard Version

1 The beginning of the ^[a]gospel of Jesus Christ, ^[b]the Son of God.

²Even as it is written ^[c]in Isaiah the prophet,

^[d]Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
Who shall prepare thy way;
³^[e]The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight;
