Matthew 3:1-6

MLV(i) 1 Now in those days John the Immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, Repent; for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. 3 For this one is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, ‘A voice is crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make*\'b0 his paths straight.’ 4 Now John himself had his outer clothing made of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his loin, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and everyone in Judea and everyone from the region around the Jordan were traveling out to him. 6 And they were being immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
