John grew up and lived in the desert. He wore camel hair clothes and ate locusts and wild honey!
He told people, “Get ready! Say sorry to God!” He baptized them in the Jordan River.
One day Jesus came to be baptized. When He came up out of the water, God's Spirit came down like a dove, and God's voice said, “This is my Son. I love Him!”
