Mark 1:6-13 Amplified Bible (AMP)

6. And John wore clothing woven of camel's hair and had a leather girdle around his loins and ate locusts and wild honey.

7. And he preached, saying, After me comes He Who is stronger (more powerful and more valiant) than I, the strap of Whose sandals I am not worthy or fit to stoop down and unloose.

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

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

10. And when He came up out of the water, at once he [John] saw the heavens torn open and the [Holy] Spirit like a dove coming down [to enter] into Him. [John 1:32.]

11. And there came a voice out from within heaven, You are My Beloved Son; in You I am well pleased. [Ps. 2:7; Isa. 42:1.]

12. Immediately the [Holy] Spirit [from within] drove Him out into the wilderness (desert),

13. And He stayed in the wilderness (desert) forty days, being tempted [all the while] by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to Him [continually].
