Context of Mark 1:5
3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight; 4John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5All of … Judea: John the Baptist attracted a lot of attention. Many people believed that there had been no prophet for over 400 years. So, prophets were associated with Israel's past and the future reign of the Messiah. John preached repentance (turning away from sin and returning to God), like the ancient prophets. He also dressed like the great prophet Elijah (1:6), whom God promised would return in the last days (Malachi 4:5).Read the comment
