3:1 In those days John the Baptist came into the wilderness of Judea proclaiming,
3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
3:3 For he is the one about whom Isaiah the prophet had spoken:
“The voiceof one shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord, makehis paths straight.’”
3:4 Now John wore clothing made from camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey.
