1–3 Now, in those days there makes his public appearance John the Baptizer, making a public proclamation with that formality, gravity, and authority which must be listened to and obeyed, in the uninhabited region of Judaea, saying, Be having a change of mind which issues in regret and a change of conduct, for there has come near and is imminent the kingdom of heaven. For this man is He who was spoken of through Isaiah, the prophet, saying, A voice of One shouting out in the uninhabited region, Make ready at once the Lord’s road. Be making straight and level His paths.
4–12 Now, John himself was in the habit of wearing his outer garment made from camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his loins. And his diet was composed of locusts and wild honey. Then there proceeded out to him in a steady stream, Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the surrounding country about the Jordan. And they were being immersed in the Jordan river by him while making a public confession of their sins. But, having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who gave you a private, confidential hint that you should be fleeing from the wrath about to break at any moment? Produce therefore fruit weighing as much as the repentance you profess. And do not think to be saying within yourselves, A father we have, Abraham; for I am saying to you that God is able out of these stones as source material to raise up children to Abraham. And already the axe has been placed at the root of the trees and lies there ready for use. Therefore, every tree which is not producing fruit which is good is being cut out and is being thrown into fire. As for myself, I indeed immerse you in water because of repentance. But He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He himself will baptize you in the sphere of and by means of the Holy Spirit and fire, whose winnowing fork is in His hand. And He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor and will gather His wheat into the granary. But the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable.
13–17 Then comes Jesus from Galilee up to the Jordan to John for the purpose of being immersed by him. But he kept on trying to hinder Him, saying, As for myself, I have need by you to be immersed, and as for you, are you coming to me? But answering, Jesus said to him, Permit it at this time, for thus is it fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he acceded to His wishes. And Jesus, having been immersed, immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and He saw God’s Spirit descending in a form like that of a dove coming upon Him. And behold, a voice out of heaven, saying, This is my Son, the beloved One, in whom I take pleasure.
