Matthew 3
The John the Baptist Bible Crossword
A man in camel's hair with a leathern girdle, eating locusts and wild honey, telling everyone who comes out to him that someone greater is on the way. John the Baptist covers Matthew 3 and what surrounds it — the voice crying in the wilderness, the baptism in Jordan, the axe laid to the root of the trees.
The clues keep the KJV's plain, hard phrasing, which is most of John's character. The closing verse is the sentence he arrives in.
