Matthew 3:1-3
<p class="default">1. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 
- And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
- For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, <b>The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.</b> 
 
<b>John was preparing the way for Christ.</b> </p>
