At that time John the Baptist came to the desert of Judea and started preaching.

A voice cries out, "Prepare in the wilderness a road for the LORD! Clear the way in the desert for our God!

and Annas and Caiaphas were High Priests. At that time the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.

So John went throughout the whole territory of the Jordan River, preaching, "Turn away from your sins and be baptized, and God will forgive your sins."

"Then you are not that Egyptian fellow who some time ago started a revolution and led four thousand armed terrorists out into the desert?"
