lont@Matthew:3:2 @ Reform, for the Reign of Heaven approaches.

lont@Matthew:3:3 @ «For this is he, of whom the Prophet Isaiah speaks in these words,» 'The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage.'

lont@Matthew:3:4 @ Now John wore raiment of camel's hair with a letter girdle about his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

lont@Matthew:3:5 @ Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the country along the Jordan, resorted to him,

lont@Matthew:3:6 @ and were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

lont@Matthew:3:7 @ But he seeing many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to receive immersion, said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance?

lont@Matthew:3:8 @ Produce, then, the proper fruit of reformation;

lont@Matthew:3:9 @ and presume not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father, for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham.

lont@Matthew:3:10 @ And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and turned into fuel.

lont@Matthew:3:11 @ I, indeed, immerse you in water, into reformation; but he who comes after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit, and in fire.

lont@Matthew:3:16 @ Jesus being immersed, no sooner arose out of the water, than heaven was opened to him; and the Spirit of God appeared, descending like a dove, and lighting upon him;

lont@Matthew:3:17 @ while a voice from heaven proclaimed, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
