Dual Panel1<1161> In <1722> those <1565> days <2250> came <3854> (5736) John <2491> the Baptist <910>_, preaching <2784> (5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048> of Judaea <2449>_,
2And <2532> saying <3004> (5723)_, Repent ye <3340> (5720)_: for <1063> the kingdom <932> of heaven <3772> is at hand <1448> (5758)_.
3For <1063> this <3778> is he <2076> (5748) that was spoken <4483> (5685) of by <5259> the prophet <4396> Esaias <2268>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, The voice <5456> of one crying <994> (5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>_, Prepare ye <2090> (5657) the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>_, make <4160> (5720) his <846> paths <5147> straight <2117>_.
4And <1161> the same <846> John <2491> had <2192> (5707) his <846> raiment <1742> of <575> camel's <2574> hair <2359>_, and <2532> a leathern <1193> girdle <2223> about <4012> his <846> loins <3751>_; and <1161> his <846> meat <5160> was <2258> (5713) locusts <200> and <2532> wild <66> honey <3192>_.
5Then <5119> went out <1607> (5711) to <4314> him <846> Jerusalem <2414>_, and <2532> all <3956> Judaea <2449>_, and <2532> all <3956> the region round about <4066> Jordan <2446>_,
6And <2532> were baptized <907> (5712) of <5259> him <846> in <1722> Jordan <2446>_, confessing <1843> (5734) their <846> sins <266>_.
7But <1161> when he saw <1492> (5631) many <4183> of the Pharisees <5330> and <2532> Sadducees <4523> come <2064> (5740) to <1909> his <846> baptism <908>_, he said <2036> (5627) unto them <846>_, O generation <1081> of vipers <2191>_, who <5101> hath warned <5263> (5656) you <5213> to flee <5343> (5629) from <575> the wrath <3709> to come <3195> (5723)_?
8Bring forth <4160> (5657) therefore <3767> fruits <2590> meet <514> for repentance <3341>_: {meet...: or, answerable to amendment of life}
9And <2532> think <1380> (5661) not <3361> to say <3004> (5721) within <1722> yourselves <1438>_, We have <2192> (5719) Abraham <11> to [our] father <3962>_: for <1063> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>_, that <3754> God <2316> is able <1410> (5736) of <1537> these <5130> stones <3037> to raise up <1453> (5658) children <5043> unto Abraham <11>_.
10And <1161> now <2235> also <2532> the axe <513> is laid <2749> (5736) unto <4314> the root <4491> of the trees <1186>_: therefore <3767> every <3956> tree <1186> which bringeth <4160> (0) not <3361> forth <4160> (5723) good <2570> fruit <2590> is hewn down <1581> (5743)_, and <2532> cast <906> (5743) into <1519> the fire <4442>_.
11I <1473> indeed <3303> baptize <907> (5719) you <5209> with <1722> water <5204> unto <1519> repentance <3341>_: but <1161> he that cometh <2064> (5740) after <3694> me <3450> is <2076> (5748) mightier than <2478> I <3450>_, whose <3739> shoes <5266> I am <1510> (5748) not <3756> worthy <2425> to bear <941> (5658)_: he <846> shall baptize <907> (5692) you <5209> with <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>_, and <2532> [with] fire <4442>_:
12Whose <3739> fan <4425> [is] in <1722> his <846> hand <5495>_, and <2532> he will throughly purge <1245> (5692) his <846> floor <257>_, and <2532> gather <4863> (5692) his <846> wheat <4621> into <1519> the garner <596>_; but <1161> he will burn up <2618> (5692) the chaff <892> with unquenchable <762> fire <4442>_.
13Then <5119> cometh <3854> (5736) Jesus <2424> from <575> Galilee <1056> to <1909> Jordan <2446> unto <4314> John <2491>_, to be baptized <907> (5683) of <5259> him <846>_.
14But <1161> John <2491> forbad <1254> (5707) him, saying <3004> (5723)_, I <1473> have <2192> (5719) need <5532> to be baptized <907> (5683) of <5259> thee <4675>_, and <2532> comest <2064> (5736) thou <4771> to <4314> me <3165>_?
15And <1161> Jesus <2424> answering <611> (5679) said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> him <846>_, Suffer <863> (5628) [it to be so] now <737>_: for <1063> thus <3779> it becometh <4241> (5723) <2076> (5748) us <2254> to fulfil <4137> (5658) all <3956> righteousness <1343>_. Then <5119> he suffered <863> (5719) him <846>_.
16And <2532> Jesus <2424>_, when he was baptized <907> (5685)_, went up <305> (5627) straightway <2117> out of <575> the water <5204>_: and <2532>_, lo <2400> (5628)_, the heavens <3772> were opened <455> (5681) unto him <846>_, and <2532> he saw <1492> (5627) the Spirit <4151> of God <2316> descending <2597> (5723) like <5616> a dove <4058>_, and <2532> lighting <2064> (5740) upon <1909> him <846>_:
17And <2532> lo <2400> (5628) a voice <5456> from <1537> heaven <3772>_, saying <3004> (5723)_, This <3778> is <2076> (5748) my <3450> beloved <27> Son <5207>_, in <1722> whom <3739> I am well pleased <2106> (5656)_.
