11 (A)I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. (B)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 (C)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will (D)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

John Baptizes Jesus(E)

13 (F)Then Jesus came (G)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

16 (H)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [b]He saw (I)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (J)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (K)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(G) and he saw the Spirit of God(H) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(I) said, “This is my Son,(J) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(K)
