5. Many people from the province of Judea and the city of Jerusalem went out to hear John. They confessed their sins, and he baptized them in the River Jordan.
6. John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt round his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
7. He announced to the people, “The man who will come after me is much greater than I am. I am not good enough even to bend down and untie his sandals.
8. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
