Matthew 3:1-6

WNT(i) 1 About this time John the Baptist made his appearance, preaching in the Desert of Judaea. 2 "Repent," he said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand." 3 He it is who was spoken of through the Prophet Isaiah when he said, "THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING ALOUD, 'IN THE DESERT PREPARE YE A ROAD FOR THE LORD: MAKE HIS HIGHWAY STRAIGHT.'" 4 This man John wore a garment of camel's hair, and a loincloth of leather; and he lived upon locusts and wild honey. 5 Then large numbers of people went out to him--people from Jerusalem and from all Judaea, and from the whole of the Jordan valley-- 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, making full confession of their sins.
