The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
his paths straight.

all the region round about Jordan,
Mark 1:5 Luke 3:3 |
| 6 | And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

| 7 | But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O 1generation of
vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the awrath to come?

repentance:

not to say within yourselves, We have 1Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
1 Luke 3:8, 16:24 John 8:33, 39, 53 Rom 9:6,7 |

good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

| 11 | I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but
he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to
bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Isa 4:4 Mal 3:2 Mark 1:8 Luke 3:16 John 1:26,27 |
| 12 | Whose fan is in his hand, and he will
throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will
burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

| 17 | And lo a voice from heaven, saying,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
