1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way of the Lord;make His paths straight.’ ”
4 This same John had clothing made of camel’s hair, a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
