John the Baptist

Gordon Napier, January 2007

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wildernes, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. And the same John has his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his meat was locus and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

Matthew 3:2-5
