1 Years later, John the Baptist started preaching in the desert of Judea.
2 He said, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”
3 John was the one the prophet Isaiah was talking about, when he said,“In the desert someoneis shouting,‘Get the road readyfor the Lord!Make a straight pathfor him.’ ”
4 John wore clothes made of camel's hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.
