The beginning G746 of the gospel G2098 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 the Son G5207 of God; G2316

The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

And there went G1607 out to him all G3956 the land G5561 of Judaea, G2449 and they of Jerusalem, G2414 and were all G3956 baptized G907 of him in the river G4215 of Jordan, G2446 confessing G1843 their sins. G266

And preached, G2784 saying, G3004 There comes G2064 one mightier G2478 than I after G3694 me, the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to stoop G2955 down and unloose. G3089

And it came G1096 to pass in those G1565 days, G2250 that Jesus G2424 came G2064 from Nazareth G3478 of Galilee, G1056 and was baptized G907 of John G2491 in Jordan. G2446

And there came G1096 a voice G5456 from heaven, G3772 saying, You are G1488 my beloved G27 Son, G5207 in whom G3739 I am well G2106 pleased. G2106

But I say G3004 to you, That Elias G2243 is indeed G2532 come, G2064 and they have done G4160 to him whatever G3745 they listed, G2309 as it is written G1125 of him.

In those G1565 days G2250 came G3854 John G2491 the Baptist, G910 preaching G2784 in the wilderness G2048 of Judaea, G2449

For this G3778 is he that was spoken G4483 of by the prophet G4396 Esaias, G2268 saying, G3004 The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

Then G5119 went G1607 out to him Jerusalem, G2414 and all G3956 Judaea, G2449 and all G3956 the region G4066 round G4066 about G4066 Jordan, G2446

But when he saw G1492 many G4183 of the Pharisees G5330 and Sadducees G4523 come G2064 to his baptism, G908 he said G2036 to them, O generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 who G5101 has warned G5263 you to flee G5343 from the wrath G3709 to come? G3195

And think G1380 not to say G3004 within G1722 yourselves, G1438 We have G2192 Abraham G11 to our father: G3962 for I say G3004 to you, that God G2316 is able G1410 of these G5130 stones G3037 to raise G1453 up children G5043 to Abraham. G11

I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water G5204 to repentance. G3341 but he that comes G2064 after G3694 me is mightier G2478 than I, whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to bear: G941 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and with fire: G4442

Then G5119 comes G3854 Jesus G2424 from Galilee G1056 to Jordan G2446 to John, G2491 to be baptized G907 of him.

And Jesus G2424 answering G611 said G2036 to him, Suffer G863 it to be so now: G737 for thus G3779 it becomes G4241 us to fulfill G4137 all G3956 righteousness. G1343 Then G5119 he suffered G863 him.

And see G2400 a voice G5456 from heaven, G3772 saying, G3004 This G3778 is my beloved G27 Son, G5207 in whom G3739 I am well G2106 pleased. G2106

Now G1161 in the fifteenth G4003 year G2094 of the reign G2231 of Tiberius G5086 Caesar, G2541 Pontius G4194 Pilate G4091 being governor G2230 of Judaea, G2449 and Herod G2264 being tetrarch G5075 of Galilee, G1056 and his brother G80 Philip G5376 tetrarch G5075 of Ituraea G2484 and of the region G5561 of Trachonitis, G5139 and Lysanias G3078 the tetrarch G5075 of Abilene, G9

And he came G2064 into G1519 all G3956 the country G4066 about G4066 Jordan, G2446 preaching G2784 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 for the remission G859 of sins; G266

Every G3956 valley G5327 shall be filled, G4137 and every G3956 mountain G3735 and hill G1015 shall be brought G5013 low; G5013 and the crooked G4646 shall be made G1519 straight, G2117 and the rough G5138 ways G3598 shall be made G1519 smooth; G3006

Then G3767 said G3004 he to the multitude G3793 that came G1607 forth G1607 to be baptized G907 of him, O generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 who G5101 has warned G5263 you to flee G5343 from the wrath G3709 to come? G3195

And now G2235 also G2532 the ax G513 is laid G2749 to the root G4491 of the trees: G1186 every G3956 tree G1186 therefore G3767 which brings G4160 not forth G4160 good G2570 fruit G2590 is hewn G1581 down, G1581 and cast G906 into G1519 the fire. G4442

He answers G611 and said G3004 to them, He that has G2192 two G1417 coats, G5509 let him impart G3330 to him that has G2192 none; G3361 and he that has G2192 meat, G1033 let him do G4160 likewise. G3668

And he said G2036 to them, Exact G4238 no G3367 more G4119 than G3844 that which is appointed G1299 you.

And as the people G2992 were in expectation, G4328 and all G3956 men mused G1260 in their hearts G2588 of John, G2491 whether G3379 he were the Christ, G5547 or not;

Whose G3739 fan G4425 is in his hand, G5495 and he will thoroughly G1245 purge G1245 his floor, G257 and will gather G4863 the wheat G4621 into G1519 his garner; G596 but the chaff G892 he will burn G2618 with fire G4442 unquenchable. G762

But Herod G2264 the tetrarch, G5076 being reproved G1651 by him for Herodias G2266 his brother G80 Philip's G5376 wife, G1135 and for all G3956 the evils G4190 which G3739 Herod G2264 had done, G4160

There was a man G444 sent G649 from God, G2316 whose G846 name G3686 was John. G2491

He was not that Light, G5457 but was sent to bear G3140 witness G3140 of that Light. G5457

John G2491 bore G3140 witness G3140 of him, and cried, G2896 saying, G3004 This G3778 was he of whom G3739 I spoke, G2036 He that comes G2064 after G3694 me is preferred G1715 before G1715 me: for he was before G4413 me.

For the law G3551 was given G1325 by Moses, G3475 but grace G5485 and truth G225 came G1096 by Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547

And this G3778 is the record G3141 of John, G2491 when G3753 the Jews G2453 sent G649 priests G2409 and Levites G3019 from Jerusalem G2414 to ask G2065 him, Who G5101 are G1488 you?

And they asked G2065 him, What G5101 then? G3767 Are G1488 you Elias? G2243 And he said, G3004 I am G1510 not. Are G1488 you that prophet? G4396 And he answered, G611 No. G3756

He said, G5346 I am the voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Make G2116 straight G2116 the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 as said G2036 the prophet G4396 Esaias. G2268

And they asked G2065 him, and said G2036 to him, Why G5101 baptize G907 you then, G3767 if G1487 you be not that Christ, G5547 nor G3777 Elias, G2243 neither that prophet? G4396

He it is, who G3588 coming G2064 after G3694 me is preferred G1096 before G1715 me, whose G3739 shoe's G5266 lace G2438 I am G1510 not worthy G514 to unloose. G3089

The next G1887 day G1887 John G2491 sees G991 Jesus G2424 coming G2064 to him, and said, G3004 Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God, G2316 which G3588 takes G142 away the sin G266 of the world. G2889

And I knew G1492 him not: but that he should be made G5319 manifest G5319 to Israel, G2474 therefore G1223 G5124 am I come G2064 baptizing G907 with water. G5204

And I knew G1492 him not: but he that sent G3992 me to baptize G907 with water, G5204 the same G1565 said G2036 to me, On whom G3739 you shall see G1492 the Spirit G4151 descending, G2597 and remaining G3306 on G1909 him, the same G3778 is he which baptizes G907 with the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

Again G3825 the next G1887 day G1887 after G1887 John G2491 stood, G2476 and two G1417 of his disciples; G3101

Then G3767 there arose G1096 a question G2214 between G1537 G3326 some of John's G2491 disciples G3101 and the Jews G2453 about G4012 purifying. G2512

John G2491 answered G611 and said, G2036 A man G444 can G1410 receive G2983 nothing, G3762 except G3362 it be given G1325 him from heaven. G3772

He that has G2192 the bride G3565 is the bridegroom: G3566 but the friend G5384 of the bridegroom, G3566 which G3588 stands G2476 and hears G191 him, rejoices G5463 greatly G5479 because G1223 of the bridegroom's G3566 voice: G5456 this G3778 my joy G5479 therefore G3767 is fulfilled. G4137

He that comes G2064 from above G509 is above G1883 all: G3956 he that is of the earth G1093 is earthly, G1537 G3588 G1093 and speaks G2980 of the earth: G1093 he that comes G2064 from heaven G3772 is above G1883 all. G3956

He that has received G2983 his testimony G3141 has set G4972 to his seal G4972 that God G2316 is true. G227

The Father G3962 loves G25 the Son, G5207 and has given G1325 all G3956 things into G1722 his hand. G5495
