The Mission of John the Baptist

(Isaiah 40:1–5, Mark 1:1–8, Luke 3:1–20, John 1:19–28)

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2and saying,“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” 3This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah

“[A] voice of one calling in the wilderness,

‘Prepare the way for [the] Lord,

make straight paths for Him.’ ”[fn]

4

John wore a garment of camel’s hair, with [a] leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5[People] went out to him [from] Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region around the Jordan. 6Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

7

But when [John] saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his [place of] baptism, he said to them,“[You] brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. 9And {do} not presume to say to yourselves,‘We have Abraham [as our] father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10The axe vvv vvv lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree vvv that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into [the] fire.

11

I baptize you with water[fn] for repentance, but after me will come [One] more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with [the] Holy Spirit and with fire.[fn] 12His winnowing fork [is] in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

13

The Baptism of Jesus

(Mark 1:9–11, Luke 3:21–22, John 1:29–34)

At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by [John]. 14But John tried to prevent Him, saying,“I vvv need to be baptized by You, and {do} You come to me?”

15

“Let [it] be so now,” Jesus replied“It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then [John] permitted Him.

16

As soon as [Jesus] was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened,[fn] and He saw[fn] the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. 17And a voice from heaven said,“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”


3:3 Isaiah 40:3 (see also LXX)

3:11 Or in water

3:11 Or in the Holy Spirit and in fire

3:16 NA, BYZ, and TR the heavens were opened to Him

3:16 Or and he saw; see John 1:32–33.
