KJV ¹ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

TR1550 ¹ ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ

KJV ² As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

TR1550 ² ης γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἰδού, ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου,

KJV ³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

TR1550 ³ φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ

KJV ⁴ John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

TR1550 ⁴ ἐγένετο ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν

KJV ⁵ And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

TR1550 ⁵ καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ ἱεροσολυμῖται καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο πάντες ἐν τῷ ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν

KJV ⁶ And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

TR1550 ⁶ ἦν δὲ ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον

KJV ⁷ And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

TR1550 ⁷ καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων, ἕρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ

KJV ⁸ I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

TR1550 ⁸ ἐγὼ μὲν ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ
