strkjv@Matthew:3:1
@
In
those
days
came
John
the
Baptist
,
preaching
in
the
wilderness
of
Judaea
,
strkjv@Matthew:3:2
@
And
saying
, Repent
ye
:
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven
is at
hand
.
strkjv@Matthew: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
.
strkjv@Matthew:3:4
@
And
the
same
John
had
his
raiment
of
camels
hair
,
and
a
leathern
girdle
about
his
loins
;
and
his
meat
was
locusts
and
wild
honey
.
strkjv@Matthew:3:5
@
Then
went
out
to
him
Jerusalem
,
and
all
Judaea
,
and
all
the region round
about
Jordan
,
strkjv@Matthew:3:6
@
And
were
baptized
of
him
in
Jordan
,
confessing
their
sins
.
strkjv@Matthew: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
?
strkjv@Matthew:3:8
@ Bring
forth
therefore
fruits
meet
for
repentance
:
strkjv@Matthew: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
.
strkjv@Matthew: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
.
strkjv@Matthew: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
:
strkjv@Matthew: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
.
strkjv@Matthew:3:13
@
Then
cometh
Jesus
from
Galilee
to
Jordan
unto
John
, to be
baptized
of
him
.
strkjv@Matthew:3:14
@
But
John
forbad
him,
saying
,
I
have
need
to be
baptized
of
thee
,
and
comest
thou
to
me
?
strkjv@Matthew: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
.
strkjv@Matthew: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
:
strkjv@Matthew:3:17
@
And
lo
a
voice
from
heaven
,
saying
,
This
is
my
beloved
Son
,
in
whom
I am well
pleased
.
