The preaching of John the Baptist

1Years later, John the Baptist started preaching in the desert of Judea.

2He said, “Turn back to God! The kingdom of heaven will soon be here.”

3John was the one the prophet Isaiah was talking about, when he said, “In the desert someone is shouting, ‘Get the road ready for the Lord! Make a straight path for him.’ ”

4John wore clothes made of camel's hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

5From Jerusalem and all Judea and from the River Jordan Valley crowds of people went to John.

6They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the river.

7Many Pharisees and Sadducees also came to be baptized. But John said to them: You snakes! Who warned you to run from the coming judgment?

8Do something to show that you have really given up your sins.

9And don't start telling yourselves that you belong to Abraham's family. I tell you that God can turn these stones into children for Abraham.

10An axe is ready to cut the trees down at their roots. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into a fire.

11I baptize you with water so that you will give up your sins. But someone more powerful is going to come, and I am not good enough even to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

12His threshing fork is in his hand, and he is ready to separate the wheat from the husks. He will store the wheat in a barn and burn the husks in a fire that never goes out.

The baptism of Jesus

13Jesus left Galilee and went to the River Jordan to be baptized by John.

14But John kept objecting and said, “I ought to be baptized by you. Why have you come to me?”

15Jesus answered, “For now this is how it should be, because we must do all that God wants us to do.” Then John agreed.

16So Jesus was baptized. And as soon as he came out of the water, the sky opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.

17Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my own dear Son, and I am pleased with him.”
