Mark 1:6-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

6. John wore clothes made from camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

7. This is what John told the people: “There is someone coming later who is able to do more than I can. I am not good enough to be the slave who stoops down to untie his sandals.

8. I baptize you with water, but the one who is coming will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

9. About that time Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the place where John was. John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.
