Mark 1:6 in Context — Mark 1

4 Jean parut, baptisant dans le désert, et prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés.

5 Tout le pays de Judée et tous les habitants de Jérusalem se rendaient auprès de lui; et, confessant leurs péchés, ils se faisaient baptiser par lui dans le fleuve du Jourdain.

6 Jean avait un vêtement de poils de chameau, et une ceinture de cuir autour des reins. Il se nourrissait de sauterelles et de miel sauvage.

7 Il prêchait, disant: Il vient après moi celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier, en me baissant, la courroie de ses souliers.

8 Moi, je vous ai baptisés d’eau; lui, il vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit.
