Quoted from Bible Gateway, Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA), Mark 1: 1-11 [1]:
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.2 As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.3 A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.4 John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.5 And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.7 And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.8 I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.9 And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.10 And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.11 And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
The Gospel reading for June 24 on the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist is Lk 1:57-68, per the 1962 Catholic Daily Missal, Angelus Press, pages 1257-8. The same passages below are quoted from Bible Gateway, Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA) [2]:
57 Now Elizabeth's full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.58 And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father's name Zachary.60 And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.61 And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.63 And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.64 And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.65 And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.66 And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.67 And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people[.]
