John traveled throughout the region around the Jordan River. He told people about a baptism of repentance[a] for the forgiveness of sins. As the prophet Isaiah wrote in his book,

“A voice cries out in the desert:
    ‘Prepare the way for the Lord!
    Make his paths straight!
        Every valley will be filled.
        Every mountain and hill will be leveled.
            The crooked ways will be made straight.
            The rough roads will be made smooth.
