Given the massive crowd sizes and his... let's say, "unique condition"... John the Baptist, armed with the Holy Spirit, must have been a mic-dropping legend. Matthew 3: 4-6 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
