John the Baptist Prepares the Way

3In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,G1161G1722G1565G2250G3854G2491G910G2784G1722G2048G2449 2and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"G2532G3004G3340G1063G932G3772G1448 3For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.'"G1063G3778G2076G4483G5259G4396G2268G3004G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G2117 4And John himself was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.G1161G846G2491G2192G846G1742G575G2574G2359G2532G1193G2223G4012G846G3751G1161G846G5160G2258G200G2532G66G3192 5Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to himG5119G1607G4314G846G2414G2532G3956G2449G2532G3956G4066G2446 6and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.G2532G907G5259G846G1722G2446G1843G846G266 7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?G1161G1492G4183G5330G2532G4523G2064G1909G846G908G2036G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G3195 8"Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,G4160G3767G2590G514G3341 9"and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.G2532G1380G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G11 10"And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3767G3956G1186G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G4442 11"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.G1473G3303G907G5209G1722G5204G1519G3341G1161G2064G3694G3450G2076G2478G3450G3739G5266G1510G3756G2425G941G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G4442 12"His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G846G4621G1519G596G1161G2618G892G762G4442

John Baptizes Jesus

13Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.G5119G3854G2424G575G1056G1909G2446G4314G2491G907G5259G846 14And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"G1161G2491G1254G3004G1473G2192G5532G907G5259G4675G2532G2064G4771G4314G3165 15But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.G1161G2424G611G2036G4314G846G863G737G1063G3779G4241G2076G2254G4137G3956G1343G5119G863G846 16When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.G2532G2424G907G305G2117G575G5204G2532G2400G3772G455G846G2532G1492G4151G2316G2597G5616G4058G2532G2064G1909G846 17And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."G2532G2400G5456G1537G3772G3004G3778G2076G3450G27G5207G1722G3739G2106
