Markos 1:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR (A voice of one shouting in the wilderness, TARGUM HASHIVIM YESHAYAH 40:3): Prepare the Derech Hashem (the way of the L-rd). Make his paths yashar (straight)!

⁴ Yochanan came with a mikveh mayim in the midbar, preaching a tevilah of teshuva for the selichat avon.

⁵ And all Yehudah and all Yerushalayim were going out to him, and they were submitted to a tevilah using the Yarden River as a mikveh mayim, making vidduy [to Hashem] of their averos (sins).
