Luke 3:15-22

15Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts about John, whether he might be the Messiah.

16John answered them all, saying, “As for me, I immerse you with water. But One is coming who is mightier than I am; I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandals! He will immerse you in the Ruach ha-Kodesh and fire.

17His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with inextinguishable fire.”

18So with many other exhortations, John proclaimed Good News to the people.

19But Herod the tetrarch—after being rebuked by John because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the evil things Herod had done—

20added even this on top of them all: he shut up John in prison.

21Now when all the people were immersed, Yeshua also was immersed. And while He was praying, heaven was opened

22and the Ruach ha-Kodesh came down upon Him in bodily form like a dove. And from out of heaven came a voice, “You are My Son, whom I love—with You I am well pleased!”
