Mark 1:2-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
As Predicted By Isaiah, John The Baptist Came To Prepare The Way For The Messiah
2 Just as it has been written in Isaiah[a] the prophet— “Behold, I am sending-forth My messenger ahead of Your presence[b], who will make Your way ready: 3 A voice of one shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; be making His paths straight’”— 4 John came[c], the one baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And the whole Judean country[d] was going out to him, and all the people-of-Jerusalem. And they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River while confessing-out[e] their sins. 6 And John was dressed-in camel’s hair and a belt made-of-leather around his waist, and was eating locusts and wild honey. 7 And he was proclaiming, saying “The One more powerful than me is coming after me— of Whom I am not fit, having stooped, to untie the strap of His sandals. 8 I baptized you with[f] water, but He will baptize you with[g] the Holy Spirit”.

马可福音 1:2-8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
2 以赛亚先知书上说：
“看啊，
我要差遣我的使者在你前面为你预备道路。
3 他在旷野大声呼喊，
‘预备主的道，
修直祂的路。’”
4 果然，约翰出现了，他在旷野劝人悔改，接受洗礼，使罪得到赦免。 5 犹太全境和耶路撒冷的居民都到约翰面前承认他们的罪，在约旦河里接受他的洗礼。
6 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 7 他传道说：“在我之后，有一位能力比我更大的要来，我连弯腰替祂解鞋带也不配。 8 我是用水给你们施洗，但祂要用圣灵给你们施洗。”

Mark 1:2-8
New International Version
2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[a](A)—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[b](B)
4 And so John the Baptist(C) appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance(D) for the forgiveness of sins.(E) 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist,(F) and he ate locusts(G) and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.(H) 8 I baptize you with[c] water, but he will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit.”(I)
