2. And[G2532] saying,[G3004] Repent[G3340] ye: for[G1063] the[G3588] kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] is at hand.[G1448]
3. For[G1063] this[G3778] is[G2076] he that was spoken of[G4483] by[G5259] the[G3588] prophet[G4396] Isaiah,[G2268] saying,[G3004]
4. And[G1161] the same[G846] John[G2491] had[G2192] his[G848] raiment[G1742] of[G575] camel's[G2574] hair,[G2359] and[G2532] a leather[G1193] girdle[G2223] about[G4012] his[G846] loins;[G3751] and[G1161] his[G848] meat[G5160] was[G2258] locusts[G200] and[G2532] wild[G66] honey.[G3192]
5. Then[G5119] went out[G1607] to[G4314] him[G846] Jerusalem,[G2414] and[G2532] all[G3956] Judea,[G2449] and[G2532] all[G3956] the[G3588] region round about[G4066] Jordan,[G2446]

7. But[G1161] when he saw[G1492] many[G4183] of the[G3588] Pharisees[G5330] and[G2532] Sadducees[G4523] come[G2064] to[G1909] his[G846] baptism,[G908] he said[G2036] unto them,[G846] O generation[G1081] of vipers,[G2191] who[G5101] hath warned[G5263] you[G5213] to flee[G5343] from[G575] the[G3588] wrath[G3709] to come?[G3195]
8. Bring forth[G4160] therefore[G3767] fruits[G2590] meet[G514] for repentance: [G3341]
9. And[G2532] think[G1380] not[G3361] to say[G3004] within[G1722] yourselves,[G1438] We have[G2192] Abraham[G11] to our father:[G3962] for[G1063] I say[G3004] unto you,[G5213] that[G3754] God[G2316] is able[G1410] of[G1537] these[G5130] stones[G3037] to raise up[G1453] children[G5043] unto Abraham.[G11]
10. And[G1161] now[G2235] also[G2532] the[G3588] axe[G513] is laid[G2749] unto[G4314] the[G3588] root[G4491] of the[G3588] trees:[G1186] therefore[G3767] every[G3956] tree[G1186] which bringeth not forth[G4160] [G3361] good[G2570] fruit[G2590] is hewn down,[G1581] and[G2532] cast[G906] into[G1519] the fire.[G4442]
11. I[G1473] indeed[G3303] baptize[G907] you[G5209] with[G1722] water[G5204] unto[G1519] repentance:[G3341] but[G1161] he that cometh[G2064] after[G3694] me[G3450] is[G2076] mightier[G2478] than I,[G3450] whose[G3739] shoes[G5266] I am[G1510] not[G3756] worthy[G2425] to bear:[G941] he[G846] shall baptize[G907] you[G5209] with[G1722] the Holy[G40] Ghost,[G4151] and[G2532] with fire: [G4442]
12. Whose[G3739] fan[G4425] is in[G1722] his[G846] hand,[G5495] and[G2532] he will throughly purge[G1245] his[G848] floor,[G257] and[G2532] gather[G4863] his[G848] wheat[G4621] into[G1519] the[G3588] garner;[G596] but[G1161] he will burn up[G2618] the[G3588] chaff[G892] with unquenchable[G762] fire.[G4442]
13. Then[G5119] cometh[G3854] Jesus[G2424] from[G575] Galilee[G1056] to[G1909] Jordan[G2446] unto[G4314] John,[G2491] to be baptized[G907] of[G5259] him.[G846]
14. But[G1161] John[G2491] forbade[G1254] him,[G846] saying,[G3004] I[G1473] have[G2192] need[G5532] to be baptized[G907] of[G5259] thee,[G4675] and[G2532] comest[G2064] thou[G4771] to[G4314] me?[G3165]
15. And[G1161] Jesus[G2424] answering[G611] said[G2036] unto[G4314] him,[G846]
16. And[G2532] Jesus,[G2424] when he was baptized,[G907] went up[G305] straightway[G2117] out of[G575] the[G3588] water:[G5204] and,[G2532] lo,[G2400] the[G3588] heavens[G3772] were opened[G455] unto him,[G846] and[G2532] he saw[G1492] the[G3588] Spirit[G4151] of God[G2316] descending[G2597] like[G5616] a dove,[G4058] and[G2532] lighting[G2064] upon[G1909] him: [G846]
17. And[G2532] lo[G2400] a voice[G5456] from[G1537] heaven,[G3772] saying,[G3004] This[G3778] is[G2076] my[G3450] beloved[G27] Son,[G5207] in[G1722] whom[G3739] I am well pleased.[G2106]
