MT-3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
wilderness of
Judaea,
MT-3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.
MT-3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
saying, The
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his
paths straight.
MT-3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
leathern
girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
MT-3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all
the region
round about Jordan,
MT-3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their
sins.
MT-3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come
to his
baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?
MT-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
MT-3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham
to [our]
father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to
raise up
children unto Abraham.
MT-3:10 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the
fire.
MT-3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he
that cometh
after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
he shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:
MT-3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly
purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the
chaff with
unquenchable fire.
MT-3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to
be baptized of
him.
MT-3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized
of thee, and
comest thou to me?
MT-3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so]
now: for thus
it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
MT-3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway
out of the water:
and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit
of God
descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
MT-3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved
Son, in whom I
am well pleased.
