Matthew 3:2-6
English Standard Version
2 (A)“Repent, for (B)the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a] 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
(C)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(D)‘Prepare[b] the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”
4 Now John wore (E)a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was (F)locusts and (G)wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, (H)confessing their sins.
