1 * g1161 In * g1722 those * g1565 days * g2250 came * g3854 g5736 John * g2491 the Baptist * g910, preaching * g2784 g5723 in * g1722 the wilderness * g2048 of Judaea * g2449,
2 And * g2532 saying * g3004 g5723, Repent ye * g3340 g5720: for * g1063 the kingdom * g932 of heaven * g3772 is at hand * g1448 g5758.
3 For * g1063 this * g3778 is he * g2076 g5748 that was spoken * g4483 g5685 of by * g5259 the prophet * g4396 Esaias * g2268, saying * g3004 g5723, The voice * g5456 of one crying * g994 g5723 in * g1722 the wilderness * g2048, Prepare ye * g2090 g5657 the way * g3598 of the Lord * g2962, make * g4160 g5720 his * g846 paths * g5147 straight * g2117.
4 And * g1161 the same * g846 John * g2491 had * g2192 g5707 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 * g1161 his * g846 meat * g5160 was * g2258 g5713 locusts * g200 and * g2532 wild * g66 honey * g3192.
5 Then * g5119 went out * g1607 g5711 to * g4314 him * g846 Jerusalem * g2414, and * g2532 all * g3956 Judaea * g2449, and * g2532 all * g3956 the region round about * g4066 Jordan * g2446,
6 And * g2532 were baptized * g907 g5712 of * g5259 him * g846 in * g1722 Jordan * g2446, confessing * g1843 g5734 their * g846 sins * g266.
7 But * g1161 when he saw * g1492 g5631 many * g4183 of the Pharisees * g5330 and * g2532 Sadducees * g4523 come * g2064 g5740 to * g1909 his * g846 baptism * g908, he said * g2036 g5627 unto them * g846, O generation * g1081 of vipers * g2191, who * g5101 hath warned * g5263 g5656 you * g5213 to flee * g5343 g5629 from * g575 the wrath * g3709 to come * g3195 g5723?
8 Bring forth * g4160 g5657 therefore * g3767 fruits * g2590 meet * g514 for repentance * g3341: meet...: or, answerable to amendment of life
9 And * g2532 think * g1380 g5661 not * g3361 to say * g3004 g5721 within * g1722 yourselves * g1438, We have * g2192 g5719 Abraham * g11 to our father * g3962: for * g1063 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, that * g3754 God * g2316 is able * g1410 g5736 of * g1537 these * g5130 stones * g3037 to raise up * g1453 g5658 children * g5043 unto Abraham * g11.
10 And * g1161 now * g2235 also * g2532 the axe * g513 is laid * g2749 g5736 unto * g4314 the root * g4491 of the trees * g1186: therefore * g3767 every * g3956 tree * g1186 which bringeth * g4160 not * g3361 forth * g4160 g5723 good * g2570 fruit * g2590 is hewn down * g1581 g5743, and * g2532 cast * g906 g5743 into * g1519 the fire * g4442.
11 I * g1473 indeed * g3303 baptize * g907 g5719 you * g5209 with * g1722 water * g5204 unto * g1519 repentance * g3341: but * g1161 he that cometh * g2064 g5740 after * g3694 me * g3450 is * g2076 g5748 mightier than * g2478 I * g3450, whose * g3739 shoes * g5266 I am * g1510 g5748 not * g3756 worthy * g2425 to bear * g941 g5658: he * g846 shall baptize * g907 g5692 you * g5209 with * g1722 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151, and * g2532 with fire * g4442:
12 Whose * g3739 fan * g4425 is in * g1722 his * g846 hand * g5495, and * g2532 he will throughly purge * g1245 g5692 his * g846 floor * g257, and * g2532 gather * g4863 g5692 his * g846 wheat * g4621 into * g1519 the garner * g596; but * g1161 he will burn up * g2618 g5692 the chaff * g892 with unquenchable * g762 fire * g4442.
13 Then * g5119 cometh * g3854 g5736 Jesus * g2424 from * g575 Galilee * g1056 to * g1909 Jordan * g2446 unto * g4314 John * g2491, to be baptized * g907 g5683 of * g5259 him * g846.
14 But * g1161 John * g2491 forbad * g1254 g5707 him, saying * g3004 g5723, I * g1473 have * g2192 g5719 need * g5532 to be baptized * g907 g5683 of * g5259 thee * g4675, and * g2532 comest * g2064 g5736 thou * g4771 to * g4314 me * g3165?
15 And * g1161 Jesus * g2424 answering * g611 g5679 said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 him * g846, Suffer * g863 g5628 it to be so now * g737: for * g1063 thus * g3779 it becometh * g4241 g5723 * g2076 g5748 us * g2254 to fulfil * g4137 g5658 all * g3956 righteousness * g1343. Then * g5119 he suffered * g863 g5719 him * g846.
16 And * g2532 Jesus * g2424, when he was baptized * g907 g5685, went up * g305 g5627 straightway * g2117 out of * g575 the water * g5204: and * g2532, lo * g2400 g5628, the heavens * g3772 were opened * g455 g5681 unto him * g846, and * g2532 he saw * g1492 g5627 the Spirit * g4151 of God * g2316 descending * g2597 g5723 like * g5616 a dove * g4058, and * g2532 lighting * g2064 g5740 upon * g1909 him * g846:
17 And * g2532 lo * g2400 g5628 a voice * g5456 from * g1537 heaven * g3772, saying * g3004 g5723, This * g3778 is * g2076 g5748 my * g3450 beloved * g27 Son * g5207, in * g1722 whom * g3739 I am well pleased * g2106 g5656.
