Matthew 3
1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in
the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
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.
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.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea,
and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing
their sins.
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?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
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.
10 And now also the axe 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.
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:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the
garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto
John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
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.
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:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (KJV)
