About six months before Jesus was baptized, John the Baptizer went preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying: "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near." (Matthew 3:1, 2) People heard what John said and took it to heart. They openly confessed their sins, repented of them, and then came to John to be baptized by him in the Jordan River. (Luke 1:13-16; Acts 13:23, 24)
