Mark 1:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 [a]Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will make ready Your way—(A)
3 A voice of one crying in the wilderness [shouting in the desert], Prepare the way of the Lord, make His [b]beaten tracks straight (level and passable)!(B)
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness (desert), preaching a baptism [[c]obligating] repentance ([d]a change of one’s mind for the better, heartily amending one’s ways, with abhorrence of his past sins) in order [e]to obtain forgiveness of and release from sins.
