1 And in those days John the immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying,

2 Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.

3 For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of a man crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of Lord. Make his paths straight.

4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,

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

2 saynge; Repet the kyngdome of heue is at honde.
