Matthew 3:1-6

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

2 and saying, "Repent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: `Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.'"

4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then there went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region round about the Jordan.

6 And they were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
