1 1161 In 1722 those 1565 days 2250 came 3854 John 2491 the Baptist 910, preaching 2784 in 1722 the wilderness 2048 of Judaea 2449,
2 And 2532 saying 3004, Repent ye 3340: for 1063 the kingdom 932 of heaven 3772 is at hand 1448.
3 For 1063 this 3778 is he 2076 that was spoken 4483 of by 5259 the prophet 4396 Esaias 2268, saying 3004, The voice 5456 of one crying 994 in 1722 the wilderness 2048, Prepare ye 2090 the way 3598 of the Lord 2962, make 4160 his 846 paths 5147 straight 2117.
4 And 1161 the same 846 John 2491 had 2192 his 848 raiment 1742 of 575 camel's 2574 hair 2359, and 2532 a leathern 1193 girdle 2223 about 4012 his 848 loins 3751; and 1161 his 846 meat 5160 was 2258 locusts 200 and 2532 wild 66 honey 3192.
5 Then 5119 went out 1607 to 4314 him 846 Jerusalem 2414, and 2532 all 3956 Judaea 2449, and 2532 all 3956 the region round about 4066 Jordan 2446,
6 And 2532 were baptized 907 of 5259 him 846 in 1722 Jordan 2446, confessing 1843 their 848 sins 266.
7 But 1161 when he saw 1492 many 4183 of the Pharisees 5330 and 2532 Sadducees 4523 come 2064 to 1909 his 848 baptism 908, he said 2036 unto them 846, O generation 1081 of vipers 2191, who 5101 hath warned 5263 you 5213 to flee 5343 from 575 the wrath 3709 to come 3195?
8 Bring forth 4160 therefore 3767 fruits 2590 meet 514 for repentance 3341:
9 And 2532 think 1380 not 3361 to say 3004 within 1722 yourselves 1438, We have 2192 Abraham 11 to our father 3962: for 1063 I say 3004 unto you 5213, that 3754 God 2316 is able 1410 of 1537 these 5130 stones 3037 to raise up 1453 children 5043 unto Abraham 11.
10 And 1161 now 2235 also 2532 the axe 513 is laid 2749 unto 4314 the root 4491 of the trees 1186: therefore 3767 every 3956 tree 1186 which bringeth 4160 0 not 3361 forth 4160 good 2570 fruit 2590 is hewn down 1581, and 2532 cast 906 into 1519 the fire 4442.
11 I 1473 indeed 3303 baptize 907 you 5209 with 1722 water 5204 unto 1519 repentance 3341: but 1161 he that cometh 2064 after 3694 me 3450 is 2076 mightier than 2478 I 3450, whose 3739 shoes 5266 I am 1510 not 3756 worthy 2425 to bear 941: he shall baptize 907 you 5209 with 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, and 2532 with fire 4442:
12 Whose 3739 fan 4425 is in 1722 his 846 hand 5495, and 2532 he will throughly purge 1245 his 848 floor 257, and 2532 gather 4863 his 848 wheat 4621 into 1519 the garner 596; but 1161 he will burn up 2618 the chaff 892 with unquenchable 762 fire 4442.
13 Then 5119 cometh 3854 Jesus 2424 from 575 Galilee 1056 to 1909 Jordan 2446 unto 4314 John 2491, to be baptized 907 of 5259 him 846.
14 But 1161 John 2491 forbad 1254 him, saying 3004, I 1473 have 2192 need 5532 to be baptized 907 of 5259 thee 4675, and 2532 comest 2064 thou 4771 to 4314 me 3165?
15 And 1161 Jesus 2424 answering 611 said 2036 unto 4314 him 846, Suffer 863 it to be so now 737: for 1063 thus 3779 it becometh 4241 2076 us 2254 to fulfil 4137 all 3956 righteousness 1343. Then 5119 he suffered 863 him 846.
16 And 2532 Jesus 2424, when he was baptized 907, went up 305 straightway 2117 out of 575 the water 5204: and 2532, lo 2400, the heavens 3772 were opened 455 unto him 846, and 2532 he saw 1492 the Spirit 4151 of God 2316 descending 2597 like 5616 a dove 4058, and 2532 lighting 2064 upon 1909 him 846:
17 And 2532 lo 2400 a voice 5456 from 1537 heaven 3772, saying 3004, This 3778 is 2076 my 3450 beloved 27 Son 5207, in 1722 whom 3739 I am well pleased 2106.
