4 John G2491 did G1096 baptize G907 in G1722 the wilderness, G2048 and G2532 preach G2784 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 for G1519 the remission G859 of sins. G266
To give G1325 knowledge G1108 of salvation G4991 unto his G846 people G2992 by G1722 the remission G859 of their G846 sins, G266
I G1473 indeed G3303 baptize G907 you G5209 with G1722 water G5204 unto G1519 repentance: G3341 but G1161 he that cometh G2064 after G3694 me G3450 is G2076 mightier than G2478 I, G3450 whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not G3756 worthy G2425 to bear: G941 he G846 shall baptize G907 you G5209 with G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and G2532 with fire: G4442
Annas G452 and G2532 Caiaphas G2533 being G1909 the high priests, G749 the word G4487 of God G2316 came G1096 unto G1909 John G2491 the son G5207 of Zacharias G2197 in G1722 the wilderness. G2048 And G2532 he came G2064 into G1519 all G3956 the country about G4066 Jordan, G2446 preaching G2784 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 for G1519 the remission G859 of sins; G266
That word, G4487 I say, ye G5210 know, G1492 which was published G1096 throughout G2596 all G3650 Judaea, G2449 and began G756 from G575 Galilee, G1056 after G3326 the baptism G908 which G3739 John G2491 preached; G2784
When John G2491 had first preached G4296 before G4253 his G846 coming G4383 G1529 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 to all G3956 the people G2992 of Israel. G2474 And G1161 as G5613 John G2491 fulfilled G4137 his course, G1408 he said, G3004 Whom G5101 think ye G5282 that I G3165 am? G1511 I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 he. But, G235 behold, G2400 there cometh one G2064 after G3326 me, G1691 whose G3739 shoes G5266 of his feet G4228 I am G1510 not G3756 worthy G514 to loose. G3089
And G5037 he said G2036 unto G4314 them, G846 Unto G1519 what G5101 then G3767 were ye baptized? G907 And G1161 they said, G2036 Unto G1519 John's G2491 baptism. G908 Then G1161 said G2036 Paul, G3972 John G2491 verily G3303 baptized G907 with the baptism G908 of repentance, G3341 saying G3004 unto the people, G2992 that G2443 they should believe G4100 on G1519 him which should come G2064 after G3326 him, G846 that is, G5123 on G1519 Christ G5547 Jesus.

Mar 1:1-8
We may observe here,
Quotations are here borrowed from two prophecies-that of Isaiah, which was the longest, and that of Malachi, which was the latest (and there were above three hundred years between them), both of whom spoke to the same purport concerning the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the ministry of John.
Mar 1:9-13
We have here a brief account of Christ's baptism and temptation, which were largely related Mt. 3 and 4.
Mar 1:14-22
Here is,
Observe,
Mar 1:23-28
As soon as Christ began to preach, he began to work miracles for the confirmation of his doctrine; and they were such as intimated the design and tendency of his doctrine, which were to conquer Satan, and cure sick souls.
