Matthew 3:2-4

Living Bible

² “Turn from your sins . . . turn to God . . . for the Kingdom of Heaven is coming soon.”^{[a] 3} Isaiah the prophet had told about John’s ministry centuries before! He had written,

“I hear^[b] a shout from the wilderness, ‘Prepare a road for the Lord—straighten out the path where he will walk.’”

⁴ John’s clothing was woven from camel’s hair and he wore a leather belt; his food was locusts and wild honey.
