1: In_G1722 then_G1161 the_G3588 days_G2250 those,_G1565 comes_G3854 John_G2491 the_G3588 Baptist,_G0910 preaching_G2784 in_G1722 the_G3588 wilderness_G2048 -_G3588 of Judea,_G2449

2: and_G2532 saying,_G3004 Repent;_G3340 has drawn near_G1448 for_G1063 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 of the_G3588 heavens._G3772

3: This_G3778 for_G1063 is_G1510 the [One]_G3588 having been spoken of_G2046 through_G1223 Isaiah_G2268 the_G3588 prophet,_G4396 saying,_G3004 [The] voice_G5456 of one crying_G0994 in_G1722 the_G3588 wilderness,_G2048 Prepare_G2090 the_G3588 way_G3598 of [the] Lord;_G2962 straight_G2117 make_G4160 the_G3588 paths_G5147 of Him._G0846

4: Himself_G0846 now_G1161 -_G3588 John_G2491 had_G2192 the_G3588 garment_G1742 of him_G0846 of_G0575 hair_G2359 of a camel,_G2574 and_G2532 a belt_G2223 of leather_G1193 around_G4012 the_G3588 waist_G3751 of him,_G0846 -_G3588 and_G1161 the food_G5160 was_G1510 of him_G0846 locusts_G0200 and_G2532 honey_G3192 wild._G0066

5: At that time_G5119 were going out_G1607 to_G4314 him_G0846 Jerusalem,_G2414 and_G2532 all_G3956 -_G3588 Judea,_G2449 and_G2532 all_G3956 the_G3588 region around_G4066 the_G3588 Jordan,_G2446

6: and_G2532 were being baptized_G0907 in_G1722 the_G3588 Jordan_G2446 River_G4215 by_G5259 him,_G0846 confessing_G1843 the_G3588 sins_G0266 of them._G0846

7: Having seen_G3708 now_G1161 many_G4183 of the_G3588 Pharisees_G5330 and_G2532 Sadducees_G4523 coming_G2064 to_G1909 the_G3588 baptism_G0908 of him,_G0846 he said_G2036 to them,_G0846 Brood_G1081 of vipers,_G2191 who_G5101 forewarned_G5263 you_G4771 to flee_G5343 from_G0575 the_G3588 coming_G3195 wrath?_G3709

8: Produce_G4160 therefore_G3767 fruit_G2590 worthy_G0514 -_G3588 of repentance._G3341

9: And_G2532 not_G3361 presume_G1380 to say_G3004 within_G1722 yourselves,_G1438 [As] father_G3962 we have_G2192 -_G3588 Abraham._G0011 I say_G3004 for_G1063 to you_G4771 that_G3754 able is_G1410 -_G3588 God_G2316 out of_G1537 the_G3588 stones_G3037 these_G3778 to raise up_G1453 children_G5043 unto_G3588 Abraham._G0011

10: Already_G2235 now_G1161 the_G3588 ax_G0513 to_G4314 the_G3588 root_G4491 of the_G3588 trees_G1186 is applied;_G2749 every_G3956 therefore_G3767 tree_G1186 not_G3361 producing_G4160 fruit_G2590 good_G2570 is cut down_G1581 and_G2532 into_G1519 [the] fire_G4442 is thrown._G0906

11: I_G1473 indeed_G3303 you_G4771 baptize_G0907 with_G1722 water_G5204 to_G1519 repentance,_G3341 -_G3588 but_G1161 after_G3694 me_G1473 is coming_G2064 mightier_G2478 than I,_G1473 He_G1510 of whom_G3739 not_G3756 I am_G1510 fit_G2425 the_G3588 sandals_G5266 to carry._G0941 He_G0846 you_G4771 will baptize_G0907 with_G1722 [the] Spirit_G4151 Holy_G0040 and_G2532 with fire,_G4442

12: whose_G3739 -_G3588 winnowing fork [is]_G4425 in_G1722 the_G3588 hand_G5495 of Him;_G0846 and_G2532 He will clear_G1245 the_G3588 threshing floor_G0257 of Him_G0846 and_G2532 will gather_G4863 the_G3588 wheat_G4621 of Him_G0846 into_G1519 the_G3588 barn;_G0596 the_G3588 but_G1161 chaff_G0892 He will burn up_G2618 with fire_G4442 unquenchable._G0762

13: Then_G5119 comes_G3854 -_G3588 Jesus_G2424 from_G0575 -_G3588 Galilee_G1056 to_G1909 the_G3588 Jordan,_G2446 unto_G4314 -_G3588 John,_G2491 -_G3588 to be baptized_G0907 by_G5259 him._G0846

14: -_G3588 But_G1161 John_G2491 was hindering_G1254 Him,_G0846 saying,_G3004 I_G1473 need_G5532 have_G2192 by_G5259 You_G4771 to be baptized,_G0907 and_G2532 You_G4771 come_G2064 to_G4314 me?_G1473

15: Answering,_G0611 however,_G1161 -_G3588 Jesus_G2424 said_G2036 unto_G4314 him,_G0846 Permit [it]_G0863 presently;_G0737 thus_G3779 for_G1063 fitting_G4241 it is_G1510 to us_G1473 to fulfill_G4137 all_G3956 righteousness._G1343 Then_G5119 he permits_G0863 Him._G0846

16: Having been baptized_G0907 now,_G1161 -_G3588 Jesus_G2424 immediately_G2112 went up_G0305 from_G0575 the_G3588 water;_G5204 and_G2532 behold,_G2400 were opened_G0455 to him_G0846 the_G3588 heavens,_G3772 and_G2532 he saw_G3708 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 of_G3588 God_G2316 descending_G2597 as_G5616 a dove,_G4058 and_G2532 alighting_G2064 upon_G1909 Him._G0846

17: And_G2532 behold,_G2400 a voice_G5456 out_G1537 of the_G3588 heavens,_G3772 saying,_G3004 This_G3778 is_G1510 the_G3588 Son_G5207 of me,_G1473 the_G3588 beloved,_G0027 in_G1722 whom_G3739 I was well pleased._G2106
