2 Como está escrito en Isaías el profeta: He aquí yo envío á mi mensajero delante de tu faz, que apareje tu camino delante de ti.

3 Voz del que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor; enderezad sus veredas.

4 Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo del arrepentimiento para remisión de pecados.

5 Y salía á él toda la provincia de Judea, y los de Jerusalem; y eran todos bautizados por él en el río de Jordán, confesando sus pecados.
