Mark 1:3

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his beaten paths straight.

See the chapter Copy

In these days John the Baptist is present, proclaiming in the desert of Judea;

For this is he spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

Upon Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of And was upon John, son of Zacharias in the desert.

John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me.
