1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Wilderness of Judea
2 and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near! ”
3 For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said:A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:Prepare the way for the Lord;make His paths straight!
4 John himself had a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
