Chapter 3
John the Baptist preaches in Judæa—Jesus is baptized, and the Father acclaims Him as His Beloved Son.
1. In those days came
John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judæa,
1.
2. And saying,
Repent ye: for the
kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
2.
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.
3.
4. And the same John had his
raiment of
camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was
locusts and wild honey.
4.
5. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judæa, and all the region round about Jordan,
5.
6. And were baptized of him in Jordan,
confessing their sins.
6.
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?
7.
8.
Bring forth therefore fruits
meet for
repentance:
8.
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.
9.
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.
10.
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:
11.
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.
12.
13. ¶Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.
13.
14. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
14.
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.
15.
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:
16.
17. And lo a
voice from heaven, saying, This is my
beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.
17.
