Mark 1:1-10 ▼

1 The beginnynge of the Gospell of Iesu Christ the sonne of God

2 as yt is wrytten in the Prophetes: beholde I sende my messenger before thy face which shall prepared thy waye before ye.

3 The voyce of a cryer in the wildernes: prepare ye the waye of the Lorde make his paches streyght.

4 Iohn dyd baptise in the wyldernes and preche the baptyme of repentauce for the remission of synnes.

5 And all the londe of Iurie and they of Ierusalem went out vnto him and were all baptised of him in the ryver Iordan confessynge their synnes.

6 Iohn was clothed with cammylles heer and with a gerdyll of a skyn a bout hys loynes. And he dyd eate locustes and wylde hony

7 and preached sayinge: a stronger then I commeth after me whose shue latchet I am not worthy to stoupe doune and vnlose.

8 I have baptised you with water: but he shall baptise you with the holy goost.

9 And yt came to passe in those dayes that Iesus cam from Nazareth a cyte of Galile: and was baptised of Iohn in Iordan.

10 And assone as he was come out of the water Iohn sawe heaven open and the holy goost descendinge vpon him lyke a dove.
