as it is writteng1125 in the bookg976 of the wordsg3056 of Isaiahg2268 the prophetg4396, " aTHE VOICEg5456 OF ONE CRYINGg994 IN THE WILDERNESSg2048, `MAKEg2090 READYg2090 THE WAYg3598 OF THE LORDg2962, MAKEg4160 HIS PATHSg5147 STRAIGHTg2117.

aEVERYg3956 RAVINEg5327 WILL BE FILLEDg4137, AND EVERYg3956 MOUNTAINg3735 AND HILLg1015 WILL BE  1BROUGHTg5013 LOWg5013; THE CROOKEDg4646 WILL BECOMEg1510g1519 STRAIGHTg2117, AND THE ROUGHg5138 ROADSg3598 SMOOTHg3006;

6

 aAND ALLg3956  1FLESHg4561 WILL  bSEEg3708 THE SALVATIONg4992 OF GODg2316.' "

Sog3767 he began sayingg3004 to the crowdsg3793 who were goingg1607 out to be baptizedg907 by him, " aYou broodg1081 of vipersg2191, whog5101 warnedg5263 you to fleeg5343 from the wrathg3709 to comeg3195?

8

"Thereforeg3767 bearg4160 fruitsg2590 in keepingg514 with repentanceg3341, and  ado not beging757 to sayg3004  1to yourselvesg1438, ` bWe haveg2192 Abrahamg11 for our fatherg3962,' for I sayg3004 to you that from theseg3778 stonesg3037 Godg2316 is ableg1410 to raiseg1453 up childreng5043 to Abrahamg11.

9

"Indeedg2532 the axeg513 is alreadyg2235 laidg2749 at the rootg4491 of the treesg1186; sog3767  aeveryg3956 treeg1186 that does not bearg4160 goodg2570 fruitg2590 is cutg1581 downg1581 and throwng906 into the fireg4442."

10

And the crowdsg3793 were questioningg1905 him, sayingg3004, " aTheng3767 whatg5101 shall we dog4160?"

11

And he would answerg611 and sayg3004 to them, "The man who hasg2192 twog1417 tunicsg5509 is to  ashareg3330 with him who hasg2192 noneg3361; and he who hasg2192 foodg1033 is to dog4160 likewiseg3668."

12

And some  ataxg5057 collectorsg5057 alsog2532 cameg2064 to be baptizedg907, and they saidg3004 to him, "Teacherg1320, whatg5101 shall we dog4160?"

13

And he saidg3004 to them, " 1Collectg4238 nog3367 moreg4183 thang3844 what you have been orderedg1299 to."

14

Some soldiersg4754 were questioningg1905 him, sayingg3004, "And what about us, whatg5101 shall we dog4160?" And he saidg3004 to them, "Do not takeg1286 moneyg1286 from anyoneg3367 by forceg1286, org3366  aaccuseg4811 anyone falselyg4811, and  bbe contentg714 with your wagesg3800."

15

Nowg1161 while the peopleg2992 were in a stateg4328 of expectationg4328 and allg3956 were  1wonderingg1260 in their heartsg2588 aboutg4012 Johng2491,  aas to whetherg3379 he was  2the Christg5547,

16

 aJohng2491 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them allg3956, "As for me, I baptizeg907 you with waterg5204; but One is comingg2064 who is mightierg2478 than I, and I amg1510 not fitg2425 to untieg3089 the thongg2438 of His sandalsg5266; He will baptizeg907 you  1with the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 and fireg4442.

17

"His  awinnowingg4425 forkg4425 is in His handg5495 to thoroughlyg1245a clearg1245a His threshingg257 floorg257, and to gatherg4863 the wheatg4621 into His barng596; but He will burng2618 up the chaffg892 with  bunquenchableg762 fireg4442."

18

Sog3767 with manyg4183 otherg2087 exhortationsg3870 he preachedg2097 the gospelg2097 to the peopleg2992.

19

But when  aHerodg2264 the tetrarchg5068a was reprimandedg1651 by him becauseg4012 of  aHerodiasg2266, his brother'sg80 wifeg1135, and becauseg4012 of allg3956 the wickedg4190 thingsg4190 whichg3739  bHerodg2264 had doneg4160,

20

Herod alsog2532 addedg4369 thisg3778 to them allg3956:  ahe lockedg2623 Johng2491 up in prisong5438.

22

and the Holyg40 Spiritg4151 descendedg2597 upon Him in bodilyg4984 formg1491b likeg5613 a doveg4058, and a voiceg5456 cameg1096 out of heaveng3772, " aYou are My belovedg27 Song5207, in You I amg2106 well-pleasedg2106."
