Matthew:3:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In now the days those comes John the dipper ,
proclaiming in the desert of the Judea ,
and saying :
*
Reform ye ;
has come nigh for the majesty of the heavens .
*
This for is he spoken of by Esaias the prophet ,
saying :
A voice crying out in the desert ;
make you ready the way of a Lord ,
straight make ye the beaten tracks of him .
*
He and the John had the outer garment of him from hairs of a camel ,
and a belt made of skin around the loins of him ;
the and food of him was locusts and honey wild .
*
Then went out to him Jerusalem ,
and all the Judea ,
and all the country about of the Jordan ;
*
and were dipped into the Jordan by him ,
confessing the sins of them .
*
Seeing and many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the dipping of him ,
he said to them :
O broods of venomous serpents ,
who pointed out to you to flee from the coming wrath ?
*
Bring forth then fruit worthy of the reformation ,
*
and not think to say in yourselves :
A father we have the Abraham ;
I say for to you ,
that is able the God out of the stones these to raise up children to the Abraham .
*
Now and even the axe to the root of the trees lies ;
every therefore tree not bearing fruit good ,
is cut down ,
and into a fire cast .
*
I indeed dip you in water ,
into reformation ;
he but after of me coming ,
mightier of me is ,
of whom not I am worthy the sandals to carry ;
he you will dip in spirit holy and fire .
*
Of whom the winnowing shovel in the hand of him ,
and he will thoroughly cleanse the threshing floor of him ;
and he will gather the wheat of him into the storehouse ,
the but chaff he will burn up in fire inextinguishable .
