People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.

Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,

People from Jerusalem and from all of Judea and all over the Jordan Valley went out to see and hear John.

Then people from Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the vicinity of the Jordan were going out to him,

At that time Jerusalem was going out to him, and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan;

Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him

Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about the Jordan;

Then people from Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the vicinity of the Jordan were flocking to him,

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

Then people from Jerusalem, as well as all Judea and all the region around the Jordan, were going out to him,

Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.

All the people from the countryside of Judea went out to him. All the people from Jerusalem went too. When they admitted they had sinned, John baptized them in the Jordan River.

As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John. He said,“ What did you go out into the desert to see? Tall grass waving in the wind?If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No. People who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.He is the one written about in Scripture. It says,“‘ I will send my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’( Malachi 3:1)What I’m about to tell you is true. No one more important than John the Baptist has ever been born. But the least important person in the kingdom of heaven is more important than he is.Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been under attack. And violent people are taking hold of it.

John was like a lamp that burned and gave light. For a while you chose to enjoy his light.

John spoke to the crowds coming to be baptized by him. He said,“ You are like a nest of poisonous snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming of God’s anger?

Large crowds followed him. People came from Galilee, from the area known as the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem and Judea. Others came from the area across the Jordan River.

“ The teachings of the Law and the Prophets were preached until John the Baptist came. Since then, the good news of God’s kingdom is being preached. And everyone is trying very hard to enter it.

John was also baptizing. He was at Aenon near Salim, where there was plenty of water. People were coming and being baptized.
