1 Now in those days, John the Baptist arrived, preaching in the desert of Judea,
2 and saying: 'Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.'
3 For this is the one who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: 'A voice crying out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.'
4 Now the same John had a garment made from the hair of camels, and a leather belt around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and the entire region around the Jordan went out to him.
