Matthew 3:1
Douay-Rheims
And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
John Chrysostom
And he preaches what the Jews had never heard, not even from the Prophets, Heaven, namely, and the Kingdom that is there, and of the kingdoms of the earth he says nothing. Thus by the novelty of those things of which he speaks, he gains their attention to Him whom he preaches.
