Matthew 3:1-6

1 In those days, Yochanan the immerser came, preaching in the wilderness of Yehudah, saying,

2 "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!"

3 For this is he who was spoken of by Yesha`yahu the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight."

4 Now Yochanan himself had clothing made of camel's hair, and a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then people from Yerushalayim, all of Yehudah, and all the region around the Yarden went out to him.

6 They were immersed by him in the Yarden, confessing their sins.
