In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness

f Judea and saying, “Repent, for

the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken

f through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild

honey. People went out to him

from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the

Jordan. Confessing their sins,

they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

Go God’s messag age

There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to tenants and went to another country. 34 When the harvest time had come, he sent his slaves to the tenants to collect his produce. 35 But the tenants seized his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they treated them in the same way. 37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, "They will respect my son.' 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, "This is the heir; come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.' 39 So they seized him, threw him

ut of the vineyard, and killed
him. 40 Now when the owner of

the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" (Matthew 21)
