Luke 3:16-38
16JohnG2491 answeredG611 all of themG3956: “IG1473 baptizeG907 youG4771 with waterG5204,1 butG1161 One more powerfulG2478 than IG1473 will comeG2064, theG3588 strapsG2438 ofG3588 whoseG3739G846 sandalsG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to untieG3089.2 HeG846 will baptizeG907 youG4771 withG1722 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 with fireG4442.3 17His winnowing forkG4425 is inG1722 HisG846 handG5495 to clearG1245 HisG846 threshing floorG257 andG2532 to gatherG4863 theG3588 wheatG4621 intoG1519 HisG846 barnG596; butG1161 He will burn upG2618 theG3588 chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.”
18With these and manyG4183 otherG2087 exhortationsG3870, John proclaimed the good news toG2097 theG3588 peopleG2992. 19ButG1161 when he rebukedG1651G5259G846 HerodG2264 theG3588 tetrarchG5076 regardingG4012 hisG846 brother’sG80 wifeG1135 HerodiasG2266 andG2532 allG3956 the evilsG4190 he had doneG4160, 20Herod addedG4369 thisG3778 toG1909 them allG3956: He lockedG2623 John upG2491 inG1722 prisonG5438.
21WhenG1161G1096G1722 allG537 theG3588 peopleG2992 were being baptizedG907, JesusG2424 was baptizedG907 tooG2532. AndG2532 as He was prayingG4336, heavenG3772 was openedG455, 22andG2532 theG3588 HolyG40 SpiritG4151 descendedG2597 onG1909 HimG846 in a bodilyG4984 formG1491 likeG5613 a doveG4058. AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772: “YouG4771 areG1510 MyG1473 belovedG27 SonG5207; inG1722 YouG4771 I am well pleasedG2106.”
JesusG2424 HimselfG846 wasG1510 aboutG5616 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 old when He beganG756 His ministry.
