Matthew 3:1-4 ▼

1 At that time appeared John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

2 and saying, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of the Messiah draws nigh."

3 for it is of John the prophet Esaias spoke, when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths clear."

4 now John wore a coat made of camels hair, with a leathern girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild hony.
