Mark 1:6

John was clothed in camel's hair and had a leather belt around his waist [which brings to mind earlier prophets such as Elijah, see 2 Kings 1:8]. He lived on locusts and wild honey.
[John the Baptist's lifestyle stood in stark contrast to many of the religious leaders who lived in luxury. Locusts and wild honey were common food in the desert.]
