The Proclamation of John the Baptist
3 In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, 2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”[a](A) 3 This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke when he said,
“The voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’ ”(B)
4 Now John wore clothing of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.(C) 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan were going out to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins.(D)
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his[b] baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(E) 8 Therefore, bear fruit worthy of repentance,(F) 9 and do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.(G) 10 Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(H)
11 “I baptize you with[c] water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit and fire.(I) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and will gather his wheat into the granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”(J)
The Baptism of Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.(K) 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw God’s Spirit descending like a dove and alighting on him.(L) 17 And a voice from the heavens said, “This is my Son, the Beloved,[e] with whom I am well pleased.”(M)

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.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days John the Baptist(B) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(C) has come near.” 3 This 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.’”[a](D)
4 John’s(E) clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.(F) His food was locusts(G) and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized(H) by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(K) 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(M)
11 “I baptize you with[b] water for repentance.(N) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit(O) and fire.(P) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(Q)
The Baptism of Jesus(R)
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(S) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(T) and he saw the Spirit of God(U) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(V) said, “This is my Son,(W) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(X)
