Luke 3:15-22

15While the people were filled with anticipation and they all wondered whether perhaps John could be the Christ,

16John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming – I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

17His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire.”

18And in this way, with many other exhortations, John proclaimed good news to the people.

19But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the evil deeds that he had done,

20Herod added this to them all: He locked up John in prison.

21Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened,

22and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.”
