Luke 3:15-22

15AndG1161 as the peopleG3588G2992 were in expectationG4328, andG2532 all menG3956 musedG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588 ofG4012 JohnG3588G2491, whetherG3379 heG846 wereG1510 the ChristG3588G5547, or notG3379;

16JohnG3588G2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 untoG537 them allG537, IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG4771 with waterG5204; butG1161 one mightier thanG2478 IG1473 comethG2064, the latchetG3588G2438 of whoseG3739 shoesG3588G5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to unlooseG3089: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG4771 withG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with fireG4442:

17WhoseG3739 fanG3588G4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG3588G5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG3588G257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG3588G4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG3588G596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.

18AndG2532 manyG4183 other thingsG2087 in his exhortationG3870 preached heG2097 unto the peopleG3588G2992.

19ButG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG3588G5076, being reprovedG1651 byG5259 himG846 forG4012 HerodiasG2266 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 Philip’sG5376 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 forG4012 allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG3588G2264 had doneG4160,

20AddedG4369 yetG2532 thisG3778 aboveG1909 allG3956, thatG2532 he shut upG2623 JohnG3588G2491 inG1722 prisonG3588G5438.

21NowG1161 whenG1722 allG537 the peopleG3588G2992 were baptizedG907, it came to passG1096, that JesusG2424 alsoG2532 being baptizedG907, andG2532 prayingG4336, the heavenG3588G3772 was openedG455,

22AndG2532 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1510 myG1473 belovedG27 SonG3588G5207; inG1722 theeG4771 I am well pleasedG2106.
