Now
in those
days
John
the Baptist
came,
preaching
in the wilderness
of Judea,
saying,
2
"Repent,
for the kingdom
of heaven
is at hand."
3
For this
is the one referred
to by Isaiah
the prophet
when he said,
"THE VOICE
OF ONE CRYING
IN THE WILDERNESS,
'
MAKE
READY
THE WAY
OF THE LORD,
MAKE
HIS PATHS
STRAIGHT!'"
4
Now
John
himself
had
a garment
of camel's
hair
and a leather
belt
around
his waist;
and his food
was locusts
and wild
honey.
5
Then
Jerusalem
was going
out to him,
and all
Judea
and all
the district around
the Jordan;
6
and they were being baptized
by him in the Jordan
River,
as they confessed
their sins.
7
But when he saw
many
of the Pharisees
and Sadducees
coming
for baptism,
he said
to them, "You brood
of vipers,
who
warned
you to flee
from the wrath
to come?
8
"Therefore
bear
fruit
in keeping
with repentance;
9
and do not suppose
that you can say
to yourselves,
'
We have
Abraham
for our father';
for I say
to you that from these
stones
God
is able
to raise
up children
to
Abraham
.
10
"The axe
is already
laid
at the root
of the
tree
s;
therefore
every
tree
that does not bear
good
fruit
is cut down
and thrown
into the fire.
11
"As for me, I baptize
you with water
for repentance,
but He who is coming
after
me is mightier
than I, and I am
not fit
to remove
His sandals;
He will baptize
you with the Holy
Spirit
and fire.
12
"His winnowing fork
is in His hand,
and He will thoroughly clear
His threshing floor;
and He will gather
His wheat
into the barn,
but He will burn
up the chaff
with unquenchable
fire."
13
Then
Jesus
arrived
from Galilee
at the Jordan
coming to John,
to be baptized
by him.
14
But John
tried to prevent
Him, saying,
"I have
need
to be baptized
by You, and do You come
to me?"
15
But Jesus
answering
said
to him, "Permit
it at this time;
for in this way
it is fitting
for us to fulfill
all
righteousness."
Then
he permitted
Him.
16
After being baptized,
Jesus
came
up immediately
from the water;
and behold,
the heavens
were opened,
and he saw
the Spirit
of God
descending
as a dove
and lighting
on Him,
17
and behold,
a voice
out of the heavens
said,
"This
is My beloved
Son,
in whom
I am well-pleased."
