1 In those days John the Baptist came into the wilderness of Judea proclaiming, 2 Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.| 3 For he is the one about whom Isaiah the prophet had spoken: |The voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight.'| 4 Now John wore clothing made from camel's hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey. 5 Then people from Jerusalem, as well as all Judea and all the region around the Jordan, were going out to him, Matthew 3:1-5, New English Translation.
