Matthew 3
|
- 3:1
In
those
days
came
John the
Baptist,
preaching
in the
wilderness of
Judaea,
|
- 3:2
And
saying, Repent
ye:
for the
kingdom of
heaven is at
hand.
|
- 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.
|
- 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.
|
- 3:5
Then went
out
to
him
Jerusalem,
and
all
Judaea,
and
all the region round
about
Jordan,
|
- 3:6
And were
baptized
of
him
in
Jordan,
confessing
their
sins.
|
- 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 ?
|
- 3:8 Bring
forth
therefore
fruits
meet for
repentance:
|
- 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.
|
- 3:10
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.
|
- 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:
|
- 3:12
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.
|
- 3:13
Then
cometh
Jesus
from
Galilee
to
Jordan
unto
John, to be
baptized
of
him.
|
- 3:14
But
John
forbad him,
saying,
I
have
need to be
baptized
of
thee,
and
comest
thou
to
me?
|
- 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.
|
- 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:
|
- 3:17
And
lo a
voice
from
heaven,
saying,
This
is
my
beloved
Son,
in
whom I am well
pleased.
