1 Niinä päivinä tuli Johannes Kastaja ja saarnasi Juudean erämaassa
4 Ja Johanneksella oli puku kamelinkarvoista ja vyötäisillään nahkavyö; ja hänen ruokanaan oli heinäsirkat ja metsähunaja.
5 Silloin vaelsi hänen tykönsä Jerusalem ja koko Juudea ja kaikki Jordanin ympäristö,
6 ja hän kastoi heidät Jordanin virrassa, kun he tunnustivat syntinsä.
1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea,
2 and saying, Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens,
3 for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths.
4 And this John had his clothing of camels hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.
5 Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan,
6 and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.
