And in{G1722} those{G1565} days{G2250} cometh{G3854} John{G2491} the Baptist,{G910} preaching{G2784} in{G1722} the wilderness{G2048} of Judaea,{G2449} saying,

Repent{G3004} ye;{G3340} for{G1063} the kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is at hand.{G1448}

For{G1063} this{G3778} is{G2076} he that{G3588} was spoken{G4483} of{G5259} through Isaiah the prophet,{G4396} saying,{G3004} The voice{G5456} of one crying{G994} in{G1722} the wilderness,{G2048} Make ye{G2090} ready the way{G3598} of the Lord,{G2962} make{G4160} his{G846} paths{G5147} straight.{G2117}

Now{G1161} John{G2491} himself{G846} had{G2192} his{G846} raiment{G1742} of{G575} camel's{G2574} hair,{G2359} and{G2532} a leathern{G1193} girdle{G2223} about{G4012} his{G846} loins;{G3751} and{G2532} his{G846} food{G5160} was{G2258} locusts{G200} and{G2532} wild{G66} honey.{G3192}

Then{G5119} went out{G1607} unto{G4314} him{G846} Jerusalem,{G2414} and{G2532} all{G3956} Judaea,{G2449} and{G2532} all{G3956} the region round about{G4066} the Jordan;{G2446}

and{G2532} they were baptized{G907} of{G5259} him{G846} in{G1722} the river Jordan,{G2446} confessing{G1843} their{G846} sins.{G266}

But{G1161} when he saw{G1492} many{G4183} of the Pharisees{G5330} and{G2532} Sadducees{G4523} coming{G2064} to{G1909} his{G846} baptism,{G908} he said{G2036} unto them,{G846} Ye offspring{G1081} of vipers,{G2191} who{G5101} warned{G5263} you{G5213} to flee{G5343} from{G575} the wrath{G3709} to come?{G3195}

Bring forth{G4160} therefore{G3767} fruit{G2590} worthy{G514} of repentance:{G3341}

and{G2532} think{G1380} not{G3361} to say{G3004} within{G1722} yourselves,{G1438} We have{G2192} Abraham{G11} to{G3962} our father:{G3962} for{G1063} I say{G3004} unto you,{G5213} that{G3754} God{G2316} is able{G1410} of{G1537} these{G5130} stones{G3037} to raise up{G1453} children{G5043} unto Abraham.{G11}

And{G1161} even{G2532} now{G2235} the axe{G513} lieth{G2749} at{G4314} the root{G4491} of the trees:{G1186} every{G3956} tree{G1186} therefore{G3767} that bringeth{G4160} not{G3361} forth{G4160} good{G2570} fruit{G2590} is hewn down,{G1581} and{G2532} cast{G906} into{G1519} the fire.{G4442}

I{G1473} indeed{G3303} baptize{G907} you{G5209} in{G1722} water{G5204} unto{G1519} repentance:{G3341} but{G1161} he that{G3588} cometh{G2064} after{G3694} me{G3450} is{G2076} mightier than{G2478} I,{G3450} whose{G3739} shoes{G5266} I am{G1510} not{G3756} worthy{G2425} to bear:{G941} he{G846} shall baptize{G907} you{G5209} in{G1722} the Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} and{G2532} [in] fire:{G4442}

whose{G3739} fan{G4425} is in{G1722} his{G846} hand,{G5495} and{G2532} he will thoroughly cleanse{G1245} his{G846} threshing-floor;{G257} and{G2532} he will gather{G4863} his{G846} wheat{G4621} into{G1519} the garner,{G596} but{G1161} the chaff{G892} he will burn up{G2618} with unquenchable{G762} fire.{G4442}

Then{G5119} cometh{G3854} Jesus{G2424} from{G575} Galilee{G1056} to{G1909} the Jordan{G2446} unto{G4314} John,{G2491} to be baptized{G907} of{G5259} him.{G846}

But{G1161} John{G2491} would have hindered{G1254} him,{G846} saying,{G3004} I{G1473} have{G2192} need{G5532} to be baptized{G907} of{G5259} thee,{G4675} and{G2532} comest{G2064} thou{G4771} to{G4314} me?{G3165}

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} answering{G611} said{G2036} unto{G4314} him,{G846} Suffer{G863} [it]{G2076} now:{G737} for{G1063} thus{G3779} it becometh{G4241} us{G2254} to fulfil{G4137} all{G3956} righteousness.{G1343} Then{G5119} he suffereth{G863} him.{G846}

And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} when he was baptized,{G907} went up{G305} straightway{G2117} from{G575} the water:{G5204} and{G2532} lo,{G2400} the heavens{G3772} were opened{G455} unto him,{G846} and{G2532} he saw{G1492} the Spirit{G4151} of God{G2316} descending{G2597} as{G5616} a dove,{G4058} and{G2532} coming{G2064} upon{G1909} him;{G846}

and{G2532} lo,{G2400} a voice{G5456} out{G1537} of the heavens,{G3772} saying,{G3004} This{G3778} is{G2076} my{G3450} beloved{G27} Son,{G5207} in{G1722} whom{G3739} I am well pleased.{G2106}
