'Crying' in the Bible

John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.

Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
