Matthew 3
American Standard Version
3 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying, 2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
[a]The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight.
4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan; 6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming [b]to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of [c]repentance: 9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you [d]in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not [e]worthy to bear: he shall baptize you [f]in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [g]it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened [h]unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; 17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, [i]This is 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.
Matthew 3
King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But 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?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I 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:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And 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:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
