ACTS 13:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.”
Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel — John the Baptist (3:24; Luke 1:76) serves as forerunner and herald, preparing Israel through the baptism of repentance (metanoia, turning around). John's ministry inaugurates the gospel age, removing the barriers of ceremonial Judaism to make way for faith in Jesus.
