Luke 3:15-22

15And as the peopleG2992 wereG1510 in expectation, and all men reasonedG1260 in their heartsG2588 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, whether haply he wereG1510 the ChristG5547; 16JohnG2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 unto them all, I indeed baptizeG907 you with waterG5204; but there cometh he that isG1510 mightierG2478 than I, the latchet of whose shoes I amG1510 not worthyG2425 to unloose: he shall baptizeG907 you in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and in fireG4442: 17whose fan is in his handG5495, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 into his garner; but the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 up with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.

18With manyG4183 otherG2087 exhortations thereforeG3767 preached he good tidings unto the peopleG2992; 19but HerodG2264 the tetrarch, being reproved by him for HerodiasG2266 his brother’sG80 wifeG1135, and for all the evilG4190 thingsG3956 which HerodG2264 had done, 20addedG4369 this alsoG2532 to them all, that he shut up JohnG2491 in prisonG5438.

21NowG1161 it cameG1096 to passG1096, when all the peopleG2992 were baptizedG907, that, JesusG2424 alsoG2532 having been baptizedG907, and prayingG4336, the heavenG3772 was openedG455, 22and the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 formG1491, as a doveG4058, upon him, and a voiceG5456 cameG1096 out of heavenG3772, Thou art my belovedG27 SonG5207; in thee I amG1510 well pleased.
