1 Now in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the Judean wilderness
2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near!”
3 For this is the one who was spoken about by the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’ ”
4 Now John himself had his clothing made from camel’s hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
