'Repentance' in the Bible

John went throughout the entire Jordan region, proclaiming a baptism about repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! Don't begin to say to yourselves, "We have father Abraham!' because I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!

I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance."

and then repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
