Matthew:3:1-12
jub@Matthew:3:1 @ In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea
jub@Matthew:3:2 @ and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
jub@Matthew:3:3 @ For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, who said, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.
jub@Matthew:3:4 @ And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
jub@Matthew:3:5 @ Then Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the region round about Jordan went out to him
jub@Matthew:3:6 @ and were baptized of him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
jub@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 taught you to flee from the wrath to come?
jub@Matthew:3:8 @ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance
jub@Matthew:3:9 @ and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able to raise up children unto Abraham of these stones.
jub@Matthew:3:10 @ And now the axe is also laid unto the root of the trees; therefore, every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.
jub@Matthew:3:11 @ I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you in [the] Holy Spirit and fire,
jub@Matthew:3:12 @ whose fan [is] in his hand; and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with fire that shall never be quenched.
