Matthew 3vs1-4 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’” Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

Matthéüs 3vs1-4 In daardie tyd het Johannes die Doper in die woestyn van Judea begin preek en gesê: “Bekeer julle, want die koninkryk van die hemel het naby gekom.” Hy is die een wat die profeet Jesaja bedoel het toe hy gesê het: “Iemand roep in die woestyn: Maak die pad vir die Here gereed, maak die paaie vir Hom reguit.” Hierdie Johannes het klere van kameelhaar gedra met 'n leerband om sy heupe, en hy het van sprinkane en veldheuning gelewe.
