He was in the wilderness and preached that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. 5 All of Judea, including all the people of Jerusalem, went out to see and hear John. And when they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River. 6 His clothes were woven from coarse camel hair, and he wore a leather belt around his waist. For food he ate locusts and wild honey.<br> 7 John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not even worthy to stoop down like a slave and untie the straps of his sandals. 8 I baptize you with[<a title="See footnote d" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+1%3A1-8&version=NLT#fen-NLT-24197d">d</a>] water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”<br> Pray Every Day is now an APP!<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Access Pray Every Day every single day on this new app!
