In Matthew, Chapter 3, verses 1-3, it says:

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

"A voice of one calling in the desert,

'Prepare the way for the Lord,

make straight paths for him.'" (copyright New International Version)

John is associated with Isaiah, whose prophecies were fulfilled by John. He is also a Nazirite; Samson and Samuel from the Old Testaments were also Nazirites.
