Matthew 3:1-12

1AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG3588 daysG2250 cometh JohnG2491 theG3588 BaptistG910, preachingG2784 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048 ofG2250 Judaea,

2sayingG3004, RepentG3340 ye; forG1063 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG932 heavenG3772 is at handG1448.

3ForG1063 thisG3778 isG1510 heG846 thatG3004 wasG1510 spokenG3004 ofG1223 byG1722 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396, sayingG3004, TheG3588 voiceG5456 ofG1223 oneG3778 cryingG994 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048, MakeG4160 ye readyG2090 theG3588 wayG3598 ofG1223 theG3588 LordG2962, MakeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.

4NowG1161 JohnG2491 himselfG846 had hisG846 raiment ofG575 camel’sG2574 hairG2359, andG2532 a leathern girdle aboutG4012 hisG846 loinsG3751; andG2532 hisG846 foodG5160 wasG1510 locustsG200 andG2532 wildG66 honeyG3192.

5ThenG2532 wentG1607 outG1607 unto himG846 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 allG3956 Judaea, andG2532 allG3956 theG3956 regionG4066 round aboutG4314 JordanG2446;

6andG2532 theyG846 were baptizedG907 ofG1722 himG846 inG1722 theG3588 riverG4215 JordanG2446, confessingG1843 theirG846 sinsG266.

7ButG1161 whenG2532 heG2532 sawG3708 manyG4183 ofG575 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comingG2064 toG3004 hisG846 baptismG908, heG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Ye offspringG1081 ofG575 vipersG2191, whoG3588 warnedG5263 youG5210 toG3004 fleeG5343 fromG575 theG3588 wrathG3709 toG3004 comeG2064?

8BringG4160 forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitG2590 worthyG514 ofG514 repentanceG3341:

9andG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 toG3004 sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, WeG3778 have AbrahamG11 toG3004 ourG2316 fatherG3962: forG1063 IG2532 sayG3004 unto youG5210, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG3778 stonesG3037 toG3004 raiseG1453 upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.

10AndG2532 evenG2532 nowG1161 is theG3956 axeG513 laidG2749 unto theG3956 rootG4491 ofG3956 theG3956 treesG1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 thatG3956 bringeth notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 theG3956 fireG4442.

11IG1473 indeedG2532 baptizeG907 youG5210 withG1722 waterG5204 unto repentanceG3341: butG1161 heG2532 thatG3739 cometh afterG3694 meG1473 isG1510 mightierG2478 thanG2532 IG1473, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 toG1519 bearG941: heG2532 shallG2532 baptizeG907 youG5210 withG1722 theG3588 HolyG40 Ghost andG2532 withG1722 fireG4442:

12whoseG3739 fan is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 heG2532 willG3739 throughly cleanse hisG846 threshing-floor; andG2532 heG2532 willG3739 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 theG3588 garner, butG1161 theG3588 chaffG892 heG2532 willG3739 burnG2618 upG1519 withG1722 unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
