Matthew 3:11-17

CLV(i) 11 For I, indeed, am baptizing you in water for repentance, yet He Who is coming after me is stronger than I, Whose sandals I am not competent to bear. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, 12 Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor, and will be gathering His grain into His barn, yet the chaff will He be burning up with unextinguished fire." 13 Then Jesus is coming along from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. 14 Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!" 15 Yet, answering, Jesus said to him, "by your leave, at present, for thus it is becoming for us to fulfill all righteousness.Then he is giving Him leave. 16 Now, being baptized, Jesus straightway stepped up from the water, and lo! opened up to Him were the heavens, and He perceived the spirit of God descending as if a dove, and coming on Him. 17 And lo! a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight."
