The Mission of John the Baptist
(Isaiah 40:1–5, Matthew 3:1–17, Luke 3:1–22, John 1:19–34)
[This is the] beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, [the] Son of God.[fn] 2 As it is written in the prophets:[fn]
“Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You
who will prepare Your way before You.”[fn]
3“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for [the] Lord,
make straight paths for Him.’ ”[fn]
4John came baptizing[fn] in the wilderness, preaching [a] baptism of repentance for [the] forgiveness of sins. 5 [People] went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, {they were} all baptized[fn] by him in the Jordan River.
6John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 7 And he proclaimed“After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down [and] untie. 8 I indeed[fn] baptize you with water,[fn] but He will baptize you with [the] Holy Spirit.[fn]”
9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 vvv As soon [as Jesus] came up out of the water, He saw[fn] the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven:“You are My beloved Son, in whom[fn] I am well pleased.”
