‏ Luke 3:3

v. 3: John began preaching and baptizing in the region around the Jordan River. His baptism was a sign that people needed to repent—to be truly sorry for their sins and turn away from them. He called everyone to change their hearts and lives, not just follow outward religious rules. Baptism symbolized that God would forgive those who repented (Acts 2:38 a).
