Repentance Requires a Conciousness
"John was sent by God to reprove the Jews and to persuade them to come to a consciousness of their own sins and so to accept the Christ. For if one is not conscious of his sins, he cannot come to repentance. This is why John was sent.”
St. Theolphylact, Commentary on St. Matthew's Gospel
