Matthew 3:1
Douay-Rheims
And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
Remigius of Auxerre
Though as far as historical fact is concerned, he chose the desert, to be removed from the crowds of people. What the purport of his cry was is insinuated, when he adds, Make ready the way of the Lord.
