THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Matthew (Author Matthew)

3:5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

3:6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

3:7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

3:8Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

3:11I 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:

3:13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

3:14But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

3:15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

3:16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

21:25The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
