Matthew 3

1NowG1161 in those daysG2250 comes JohnG2491 the baptistG910, preachingG2784 in the wildernessG2048 of Judaea, 2and sayingG3004, RepentG3340, for the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 has drawn nigh. 3For this isG1510 he who has beenG1510 spoken of through Esaias the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, VoiceG5456 of him that crieth in the wildernessG2048: prepareG2090 ye the wayG3598 of [the] LordG2962, makeG4160 straightG2117 his pathsG5147. 4And JohnG2491 himself had his garmentG1742 of camel's hairG2359, and a leathern girdle about his loinsG3751, and his nourishment wasG1510 locustsG200 and wildG66 honeyG3192. 5Then wentG1607 out to him JerusalemG2414, and all Judaea, and all the country round the JordanG2446, 6and were baptised by him in the JordanG2446, confessingG1843 their sinsG266. 7But seeingG3708 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 and SadduceesG4523 comingG2064 to his baptismG908, he saidG3004 to them, OffspringG1081 of vipersG2191, who has forewarned you to fleeG5343 from the comingG2064 wrathG3709? 8ProduceG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341. 9And do not thinkG1380 to sayG3004 within yourselves, We have AbrahamG11 for [our] fatherG3962; for I sayG3004 unto you, that 1GodG2316 is ableG1410 of these stonesG3037 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to AbrahamG11. 10And alreadyG2235 the axe is applied to the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; every treeG1186 thereforeG3767 not producingG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and castG906 into the fireG4442. 11I indeed baptise you with waterG5204 to repentanceG3341, but he that comesG2064 after me isG1510 mightierG2478 than I, whose sandalsG5266 I amG1510 not fitG2425 to bearG941; he shall baptise you with [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and fireG4442; 12whose winnowingG4425 fan [is] in his handG5495, and he shall thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and shall gatherG4863 his wheatG4621 into the garner, but the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762. 13ThenG5119 comes JesusG2424 from GalileeG1056 to the JordanG2446 to JohnG2491, to be baptised of him; 14but JohnG2491 urgently forbad him, sayingG3004, I have needG5532 to be baptised of thee; and comest thou to me? 15But JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 to him, Suffer [it] nowG1161; for thusG3779 it becometh us to fulfil all righteousnessG1343. ThenG5119 he suffers him. 16And JesusG2424, having been baptised, went up straightway from the waterG5204, and lo, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 to him, and he sawG3708 the SpiritG4151 of 2GodG2316 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058, and comingG2064 upon him: 17and beholdG2400, a voiceG5456 out of the heavensG3772 sayingG3004, This isG1510 my belovedG27 SonG5207, in whom I have found my delight.
