Markus 1,6

John

4 Døperen Johannes stod fram i ødemarken og forkynte en omvendelsesdåp til syndenes forlatelse.

5 Hele Judea og alle i Jerusalem dro ut til ham. De bekjente sine synder og ble døpt av ham i elven Jordan.

Johannes var kledd i kamelhår og hadde et lærbelte om livet, og han spiste gresshopper og vill honning.

7 Og han forkynte: “Etter meg kommer en som er sterkere enn jeg, og jeg er ikke verdig til å bøye meg ned og løse sandalremmen hans.

8 Jeg døper dere med vann, men han skal døpe dere med Den Hellige Ånd.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
