3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying,
4 And the same John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits befitting for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
