  • Matthew 3:1-4

    Ministry of John the Baptist

    3 In those days John the Baptist appeared in the desert of Judea announcing, 2 “Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven!” 3 He was the one of whom Isaiah the prophet spoke when he said:

    The voice of one shouting in the wilderness,
            “Prepare the way for the Lord;
            make his paths straight.”

    4 John wore clothes made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
