Luke 1:13

"For he will be great in the sight of [the] Lord. He will drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the holy Spirit even from his mother's womb, and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah."
Luke 1:15-17

"John wore clothing made of camel's hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. At that time in Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region around the Jordan were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins."
Matthew 3:4-6

"I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire."
Matthew 3:11

By drinking neither wine nor strong drink and by wearing clothing made of camel's hair and a leather belt and eating locusts and honey, I emulated the prophet Elijah and took the Nazarite pledge.

My duty was and is to prepare people for the coming of the Lord.
