40:003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
40:003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
40:003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
40:003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
40:003:009 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
40:003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
40:003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
40:003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
40:003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
