John the Baptist

John the Baptist lived in the wilderness, a man full of zeal. Thousands of people from all over Judea came to the Jordan River to listen to him.

Prepare the Way!

He cried out: “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” People confessed their sins and were baptized in the water.

When Jesus came to the Jordan River to be baptized, John pointed to Him and said: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

The Open Heaven

When Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit came down like a dove, and the Father’s voice said: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
