The voice of someone shouting in the desert:
“Prepare the route that the Lord will take,

4 John himself had clothing made from camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Jerusalem, all Judaea, and the whole area around the Jordan, were going off to him.
