The child grew up and became spiritually strong, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his public appearance to Israel.

during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, God’s word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.

Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard, so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stability.

So when I planned this, was I irresponsible? Or what I plan, do I plan in a purely human way so that I say“ Yes, yes” and“ No, no” simultaneously?As God is faithful, our message to you is not“ Yes and no.”For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us— by me and Silvanus and Timothy— did not become“ Yes and no”; on the contrary, a final“ Yes” has come in Him.For every one of God’s promises is“ Yes” in Him. Therefore, the“ Amen” is also spoken through Him by us for God’s glory.

He said,“ I am a voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord— just as Isaiah the prophet said.”

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

Turbulent as water, you will no longer excel, because you got into your father’s bed and you defiled it— he got into my bed.

As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:“ What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear soft clothes are in kings’ palaces.
