Before Jesus came, John preached that we should turn away from our sins and be baptized. He preached this to all Israel.
This is the beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High God. You will go ahead of the Lord to prepare the way for him.
That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in telling people that Jesus rose from the dead.”
You know what has happened all through the area of Judea. It started in Galilee after John preached about baptism.
