And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin 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.

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
