Mark 1:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

7 And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

8 I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
