Acts

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
