Crowds come from surrounding areas to hear John preach, and many turn from sin and receive baptism. Religious leaders seek baptism but refuse to repent or confess. John warns them with a call to produce good fruit and identifies the coming one as greater than himself, culminating in Jesus arriving to be baptized and John recognizing him as the Lamb of God.","24.

He lived in the wilderness, ate wild honey and locusts, and wore clothes made from camel hair .  \nMany people came out to the wilderness to listen to John . He preached to them, saying,“Repent, for the kingdom of God is near!”  \nWhen people heard John’s message, many of them repented from their sins, and John baptized them . Many religious leaders also came to be baptized by John, but they did not repent or confess their sins .  \nJohn said to the religious leaders,“You poisonous snakes! Repent and change your behavior . Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire .” John fulfilled what the prophets said,“See, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will  \n”  \nprepare your way.  \nSome Jews asked John if he was the Messiah. John replied,“I am not the Messiah, but there is someone coming after me . He is so great that I am not even worthy to untie his sandals .”  \nThe next day, Jesus came to be baptized by John . When John saw him, he said,“Look! There is the Lamb of God who will take away the sin of the world.”","cbCaitANI7LeT8Gq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitANI7LeT8Gq","pdf",277555,4,1,15,"English","en",105,"# John Baptizes Jesus\n## John’s Background and Call to Repent\n## People’s Response and Warnings to Religious Leaders\n## John Identifies the Coming One and Jesus Arrives","[{\"question\":\"Who was John the Baptist, and where did he live?\",\"answer\":\"John was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
