Resurrection, the first
'The first resurrection,' mentioned in Revelation 20:5, 6, does not mean a first resurrection, but the essence and primary part of resurrection, which is salvation and eternal life. There is only one resurrection to life. A second does not happen, and is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

They were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
