KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G1161 G1722 In G1565 those G2250 days G3854 came [G5736] G2491 John G910 the Baptist G2784 , preaching [G5723] G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G2449 of Judaea,

2 G2532 And G3004 saying [G5723] G3340 , Repent ye [G5720] G1063 : for G932 the kingdom G3772 of heaven G1448 is at hand [G5758] .

3 G1063 For G3778 this G2076 is he [G5748] G4483 that was spoken [G5685] G5259 of by G4396 the prophet G2268 Esaias G3004 , saying [G5723] G5456 , The voice G994 of one crying [G5723] G1722 in G2048 the wilderness G2090 , Prepare ye [G5657] G3598 the way G2962 of the Lord G4160 , make [G5720] G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

4 G1161 And G846 the same G2491 John G2192 had [G5707] G846 his G1742 raiment G575 of G2574 camel's G2359 hair G2532 , and G1193 a leathern G2223 girdle G4012 about G846 his G3751 loins G1161 ; and G846 his G5160 meat G2258 was [G5713] G200 locusts G2532 and G66 wild G3192 honey.

5 G5119 Then G1607 went out [G5711] G4314 to G846 him G2414 Jerusalem G2532 , and G3956 all G2449 Judaea G2532 , and G3956 all G4066 the region round about G2446 Jordan,

6 G2532 And G907 were baptized [G5712] G5259 of G846 him G1722 in G2446 Jordan G1843 , confessing [G5734] G846 their G266 sins.

7 G1161 But G1492 when he saw [G5631] G4183 many G5330 of the Pharisees G2532 and G4523 Sadducees G2064 come [G5740] G1909 to G846 his G908 baptism G2036 , he said [G5627] G846 unto them G1081 , O generation G2191 of vipers G5101 , who G5263 hath warned [G5656] G5213 you G5343 to flee [G5629] G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 to come [G5723] ?

8 G4160 Bring forth [G5657] G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 meet G3341 for repentance:

9 G2532 And G1380 think [G5661] G3361 not G3004 to say [G5721] G1722 within G1438 yourselves G2192 , We have [G5719] G11 Abraham G3962 to our father G1063 : for G3004 I say [G5719] G5213 unto you G3754 , that G2316 God G1410 is able [G5736] G1537 of G5130 these G3037 stones G1453 to raise up [G5658] G5043 children G11 unto Abraham.

10 G1161 And G2235 now G2532 also G513 the axe G2749 is laid [G5736] G4314 unto G4491 the root G1186 of the trees G3767 : therefore G3956 every G1186 tree G4160 which bringeth G3361 not G4160 forth [G5723] G2570 good G2590 fruit G1581 is hewn down [G5743] G2532 , and G906 cast [G5743] G1519 into G4442 the fire.

11 G1473 I G3303 indeed G907 baptize [G5719] G5209 you G1722 with G5204 water G1519 unto G3341 repentance G1161 : but G2064 he that cometh [G5740] G3694 after G3450 me G2076 is [G5748] G2478 mightier than G3450 I G3739 , whose G5266 shoes G1510 I am [G5748] G3756 not G2425 worthy G941 to bear [G5658] G846 : he G907 shall baptize [G5692] G5209 you G1722 with G40 the Holy G4151 Ghost G2532 , and G4442 with fire:

12 G3739 Whose G4425 fan G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand G2532 , and G1245 he will throughly purge [G5692] G846 his G257 floor G2532 , and G4863 gather [G5692] G846 his G4621 wheat G1519 into G596 the garner G1161 ; but G2618 he will burn up [G5692] G892 the chaff G762 with unquenchable G4442 fire.

13 G5119 Then G3854 cometh [G5736] G2424 Jesus G575 from G1056 Galilee G1909 to G2446 Jordan G4314 unto G2491 John G907 , to be baptized [G5683] G5259 of G846 him.

14 G1161 But G2491 John G1254 forbad [G5707] G3004 him, saying [G5723] G1473 , I G2192 have [G5719] G5532 need G907 to be baptized [G5683] G5259 of G4675 thee G2532 , and G2064 comest [G5736] G4771 thou G4314 to G3165 me?

15 G1161 And G2424 Jesus G611 answering [G5679] G2036 said [G5627] G4314 unto G846 him G863 , Suffer [G5628] G737 it to be so now G1063 : for G3779 thus G4241 it becometh [G5723] G2076 [G5748] G2254 us G4137 to fulfil [G5658] G3956 all G1343 righteousness G5119 . Then G863 he suffered [G5719] G846 him.

16 G2532 And G2424 Jesus G907 , when he was baptized [G5685] G305 , went up [G5627] G2117 straightway G575 out of G5204 the water G2532 : and G2400 , lo [G5628] G3772 , the heavens G455 were opened [G5681] G846 unto him G2532 , and G1492 he saw [G5627] G4151 the Spirit G2316 of God G2597 descending [G5723] G5616 like G4058 a dove G2532 , and G2064 lighting [G5740] G1909 upon G846 him:

17 G2532 And G2400 lo [G5628] G5456 a voice G1537 from G3772 heaven G3004 , saying [G5723] G3778 , This G2076 is [G5748] G3450 my G27 beloved G5207 Son G1722 , in G3739 whom G2106 I am well pleased [G5656] .
