CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G1722 In G1565 those G2250 days G3854 came G2491 John G910 the Baptist, G2784 preaching G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G2449 of Judea,

2 G2532 And G3004 saying, G3340 Repent: G1063 for G932 the kingdom G3772 of heaven G1448 is at hand.

3 G1063 For G3778 this G2076 is G3588 he that G4483 was spoken G5259 of G4396 by the prophet G2268 Esaias, G3004 saying, G5456 The voice G994 of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G2090 Prepare you G3598 the way G2962 of the Lord, G4160 make G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

4 G1161 And G846 the same G2491 John G2192 had G846 his G1742 clothes G575 of G2574 camel's G2359 hair, G2532 and G1193 a leather G2223 belt G4012 about G846 his G3751 waist; G1161 and G846 his G5160 food G2258 was G200 locusts G2532 and G66 wild G3192 honey.

5 G5119 Then G1607 went out G4314 to G846 him G2414 Jerusalem, G2532 and G3956 all G2449 Judea, G2532 and G3956 all G4066 the region round about G2446 Jordan,

6 G2532 And G907 were baptized G5259 of G846 him G1722 in G2446 Jordan, G1843 confessing G846 their G266 sins.

7 G1161 But G1492 when he saw G4183 many G5330 of the Pharisees G2532 and G4523 Sadducees G2064 come G1909 to G846 his G908 baptism, G2036 he said G846 unto them, G1081 O generation G2191 of vipers, G5101 who G5263 has warned G5213 you G5343 to flee G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 to come?

8 G4160 Bring forth G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3341 for repentance:

9 G2532 And G1380 think G3361 not G3004 to say G1722 inside G1438 yourselves, G2192 We have G11 Abraham G3962 to G3962 our father: G1063 for G3004 I say G5213 unto you, G3754 that G2316 God G1410 is able G1537 of G5130 these G3037 stones G1453 to raise up G5043 sons G11 unto Abraham.

10 G1161 And G2235 now G2532 also G513 the axe G2749 is laid G4314 to G4491 the root G1186 of the trees: G3767 therefore G3956 every G1186 tree G4160 which brings G3361 not G4160 forth G2570 good G2590 fruit G1581 is cut down, G2532 and G906 cast G1519 into G4442 the fire.

11 G1473 I G3303 indeed G907 baptize G5209 you G1722 with G5204 water G1519 unto G3341 repentance: G1161 but G3588 he that G2064 comes G3694 after G3450 me G2076 is G2478 mightier than G3450 I, G3739 whose G5266 shoes G1510 I am G3756 not G2425 worthy G941 to carry: G846 he G907 shall baptize G5209 you G1722 with G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost, G2532 and G4442 with fire:

12 G3739 Whose G4425 winnowing fork G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand, G2532 and G1245 he will throughly purge G846 his G257 floor, G2532 and G4863 gather G846 his G4621 wheat G1519 into G596 the grainery; G1161 but G2618 he will burn up G892 the chaff G762 with unquenchable G4442 fire.

13 G5119 Then G2424 Jesus G3854 came G575 from G1056 Galilee G1909 to G2446 Jordan G4314 unto G2491 John, G907 to be baptized G5259 by G846 him.

14 G1161 But G2491 John G1254 forbade G846 him, G3004 saying, G1473 I G2192 have G5532 need G907 to be baptized G5259 by G4675 you, G2532 and G4771 you G2064 come G4314 to G3165 me?

15 G1161 And G2424 Jesus G611 answering G2036 said G4314 unto G846 him, G863 allow G2076 it to be so G737 now: G1063 for G3779 thus G4241 it becomes G2254 us G4137 to fulfill G3956 all G1343 righteousness. G5119 Then G863 he allowed G846 him.

16 G2532 And G2424 Jesus, G907 when he was baptized, G305 went up G2117 directly G575 out G5204 of the water: G2532 and, G2400 behold, G3772 the heavens G455 were opened G846 unto him, G2532 and G1492 he saw G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God G2597 descending G5616 like G4058 a dove, G2532 and G2064 lighting G1909 upon G846 him:

17 G2532 And G2400 behold G5456 a voice G1537 from G3772 heaven, G3004 saying, G3778 This G2076 is G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son, G1722 in G3739 whom G2106 I am well pleased.
