{Matthew 3:1}
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness
of Judaea,
{2} And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
{3} For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying,
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.
{4} And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern
girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
{5} Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
region round about Jordan,
John the Baptist was a strange preacher!
- He had a strange message.
- He had a strange pulpit.
- He had a strange from of dress.
