Mark 1:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Hence, John the Baptist appeared in the desert, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁵ People from the entire Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and as they confessed their sins they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

⁶ John was clothed in a garment of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and his food consisted of locusts and wild honey.
