and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance.

“I baptize you with water for repentance, but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”

Then He proceeded to denounce the towns where most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent:

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes long ago!

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news!”

So they went out and preached that people should repent.

He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,

Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones!

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!

The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation, and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!”

I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous people who don’t need repentance.

I tell you, in the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

“‘No, father Abraham,’ he said. ‘But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
