John was the last prophet of the Old Testament and the first prophet of the New Testament.

When John was about thirty-two, he went into the desert between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea and lived as a hermit, ate honey and locusts, and wore animal skins and a leather belt. When he came out of the desert he began to preach about repenting, abandoning sinful ways and the coming of the Messiah. He gathered a large following and cleansed or baptized many followers. Jesus walked 26 miles from Galilee to be baptized by John in the river Jordan. St. John the Baptist is known as the forerunner of Jesus Christ.
