Matthew 3:1
Douay-Rheims
And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
Rabanus Maurus
He is rightly called, The voice of one crying, on account of the loud sound of his preaching. Three things cause a man to speak loud; when the person he speaks to is at a distance, or is deaf, or if the speaker be angry; and all these three were then found in the human race.
