The Preaching of John the Baptist
3 Now (A)in those days [a](B)John the Baptist *[b]came, [c]preaching in the (C)wilderness of Judea, saying, 2 “(D)Repent, for (E)the kingdom of heaven [d]is at hand.” 3 For this is the (F)one referred to [e]by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
“(G)The voice of one [f]crying in the wilderness,
‘(H)Make ready the way of the [g]Lord,
Make His paths straight!’”
4 Now John himself had [h](I)a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was (J)locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem (K)was going out to him, and all Judea, and all (L)the district around the Jordan; 6 and they were being (M)baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the (N)Pharisees and (O)Sadducees coming for his baptism, he said to them, “You (P)brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from (Q)the wrath to come? 8 (R)Therefore bear fruit (S)in keeping with repentance; 9 and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘(T)We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10 And the (U)axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore (V)every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 “As for me, (W)I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; (X)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His (Y)winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will (Z)gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the (AA)chaff with (AB)unquenchable fire.”
The Baptism of Jesus
13 (AC)Then Jesus *arrived (AD)from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us (AE)to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him. 16 And after being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and [i](AF)he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon Him, 17 and behold, there was a voice out of the heavens saying, “(AG)This is [j]My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

João Batista(A)
3 E, naqueles dias, apareceu João Batista pregando no deserto da Judeia 2 e dizendo: Arrependei-vos, porque é chegado o Reino dos céus. 3 Porque este é o anunciado pelo profeta Isaías, que disse: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas. 4 E este João tinha a sua veste de pelos de camelo e um cinto de couro em torno de seus lombos e alimentava-se de gafanhotos e de mel silvestre. 5 Então, ia ter com ele Jerusalém, e toda a Judeia, e toda a província adjacente ao Jordão; 6 e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados. 7 E, vendo ele muitos dos fariseus e dos saduceus que vinham ao seu batismo, dizia-lhes: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira futura? 8 Produzi, pois, frutos dignos de arrependimento 9 e não presumais de vós mesmos, dizendo: Temos por pai a Abraão; porque eu vos digo que mesmo destas pedras Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abraão. 10 E também, agora, está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda árvore, pois, que não produz bom fruto é cortada e lançada no fogo.
11 E eu, em verdade, vos batizo com água, para o arrependimento; mas aquele que vem após mim é mais poderoso do que eu; não sou digno de levar as suas sandálias; ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo. 12 Em sua mão tem a pá, e limpará a sua eira, e recolherá no celeiro o seu trigo, e queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apagará.
O batismo de Jesus(B)
13 Então, veio Jesus da Galileia ter com João junto do Jordão, para ser batizado por ele. 14 Mas João opunha-se-lhe, dizendo: Eu careço de ser batizado por ti, e vens tu a mim? 15 Jesus, porém, respondendo, disse-lhe: Deixa por agora, porque assim nos convém cumprir toda a justiça. Então, ele o permitiu. 16 E, sendo Jesus batizado, saiu logo da água, e eis que se lhe abriram os céus, e viu o Espírito de Deus descendo como pomba e vindo sobre ele. 17 E eis que uma voz dos céus dizia: Este é o meu Filho amado, em quem me comprazo.
