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

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

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests-- the Word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And John was also baptizing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

that word which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed;

John having before proclaimed the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before His coming.

And he said to them, Then to what were you baptized? And they said, To John's baptism.

And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
