Matthew 3:1-6

1Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

2and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

3For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths.

4And John himself had his garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey.

5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan,

6and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
