And I knew G1492 him not: but he that sent G3992 me to baptize G907 with water, G5204 the same G1565 said G2036 to me, On whom G3739 you shall see G1492 the Spirit G4151 descending, G2597 and remaining G3306 on G1909 him, the same G3778 is he which baptizes G907 with the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

You yourselves G5210 G846 bear G3140 me witness, G3140 that I said, G2036 I am G1510 not the Christ, G5547 but that I am G1510 sent G649 before G1715 him.

The voice H6963 of him that cries H7121 in the wilderness, H4057 Prepare H6437 you the way H1870 of the LORD, H3068 make straight H3474 in the desert H6160 a highway H4546 for our God. H430

And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 shall be revealed, H1540 and all H3605 flesh H1320 shall see H7200 it together: H3162 for the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696 it.

Behold, H2005 I will send H7971 my messenger, H4397 and he shall prepare H6437 the way H1870 before H6440 me: and the LORD, H113 whom H834 you seek, H1245 shall suddenly H6597 come H935 to his temple, H1964 even the messenger H4397 of the covenant, H1285 whom H834 you delight H2655 in: behold, H2009 he shall come, H935 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635

Behold, H2009 I will send H7971 you Elijah H452 the prophet H5030 before H6440 the coming H935 of the great H1419 and dreadful H3372 day H3117 of the LORD: H3068

And he shall turn H7725 the heart H3820 of the fathers H1 to the children, H1121 and the heart H3820 of the children H1121 to their fathers, H1 lest H6435 I come H935 and smite H5221 the earth H776 with a curse. H2764

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

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

Then G5119 went G1607 out to him Jerusalem, G2414 and all G3956 Judaea, G2449 and all G3956 the region G4066 round G4066 about G4066 Jordan, G2446

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

And think G1380 not to say G3004 within G1722 yourselves, G1438 We have G2192 Abraham G11 to our father: G3962 for I say G3004 to you, that God G2316 is able G1410 of these G5130 stones G3037 to raise G1453 up children G5043 to Abraham. G11

I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water G5204 to repentance. G3341 but he that comes G2064 after G3694 me is mightier G2478 than I, whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to bear: G941 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and with fire: G4442

For this G3778 is he, of whom G3739 it is written, G1125 Behold, G2400 I send G649 my messenger G32 before G4253 your face, G4383 which G3739 shall prepare G2680 your way G3598 before G1715 you.

The baptism G908 of John, G2491 from where G4159 was it? from heaven, G3772 or G2228 of men? G444 And they reasoned G1260 with themselves, G1438 saying, G3004 If G1437 we shall say, G2036 From heaven; G3772 he will say G2046 to us, Why G1302 did you not then G3767 believe G4100 him?

The beginning G746 of the gospel G2098 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 the Son G5207 of God; G2316

The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

And there went G1607 out to him all G3956 the land G5561 of Judaea, G2449 and they of Jerusalem, G2414 and were all G3956 baptized G907 of him in the river G4215 of Jordan, G2446 confessing G1843 their sins. G266

And preached, G2784 saying, G3004 There comes G2064 one mightier G2478 than I after G3694 me, the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to stoop G2955 down and unloose. G3089

For he shall be great G3173 in the sight G1799 of the Lord, G2962 and shall drink G4095 neither G3756 G3361 wine G3631 nor G2532 strong G4608 drink; G4608 and he shall be filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 even G2089 from his mother's G3384 womb. G2836

And he shall go G4281 before G1799 him in the spirit G4151 and power G1411 of Elias, G2243 to turn G1994 the hearts G2588 of the fathers G3962 to the children, G5043 and the disobedient G545 to the wisdom G5428 of the just; G1342 to make G2090 ready G2090 a people G2992 prepared G2680 for the Lord. G2962

Annas G452 and Caiaphas G2533 being G1909 the high G749 priests, G749 the word G4487 of God G2316 came G1096 to John G2491 the son G5207 of Zacharias G2197 in the wilderness. G2048

As it is written G1125 in the book G976 of the words G3056 of Esaias G2268 the prophet, G4396 saying, G3004 The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

And all G3956 flesh G4561 shall see G3700 the salvation G4992 of God. G2316

Bring G4160 forth G4160 therefore G3767 fruits G2590 worthy G514 of repentance, G3341 and begin G756 not to say G3004 within G1722 yourselves, G1438 We have G2192 Abraham G11 to our father: G3962 for I say G3004 to you, That God G2316 is able G1410 of these G5130 stones G3037 to raise G1453 up children G5043 to Abraham. G11

And the people G3793 asked G1905 him, saying, G3004 What G5101 shall we do G4160 then? G3767

Then G1161 came G2064 also G2532 publicans G5057 to be baptized, G907 and said G2036 to him, Master, G1320 what G5101 shall we do? G4160

And the soldiers G4754 likewise G2532 demanded G1905 of him, saying, G3004 And what G5101 shall we do? G4160 And he said G2036 to them, Do G1286 violence G1286 to no G3367 man, G3367 neither G3366 accuse G4811 any falsely; and be content G714 with your G5216 wages. G3800

John G2491 answered, G611 saying G3004 to them all, G537 I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water; G5204 but one mightier G2478 than I comes, G2064 the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to unloose: G3089 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and with fire: G4442

And many G4183 other G2087 things in his exhortation G3870 preached G2097 he to the people. G2992

Added G4369 yet G2596 this G5124 above G1909 all, G3956 that he shut G2623 up John G2491 in prison. G5438

When John G2491 had first preached G4296 before G4253 G4383 his coming G1529 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 to all G3956 the people G2992 of Israel. G2474

But the angel G32 said G2036 to him, Fear G5399 not, Zacharias: G2197 for your prayer G1162 is heard; G1522 and your wife G1135 Elisabeth G1665 shall bear G1080 you a son, G5207 and you shall call G2564 his name G3686 John. G2491

And they said G2036 to her, There is none G3762 of your kindred G4772 that is called G2564 by this G5129 name. G3686

And he asked G154 for a writing G4093 table, G4093 and wrote, G1125 saying, G3004 His name G3686 is John. G2491 And they marveled G2296 all. G3956
