WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.420 Chapter 3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of 00:05.420 --> 00:10.060 Judea, and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 00:10.400 --> 00:14.760 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one 00:14.760 --> 00:19.480 crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path straight. 00:19.700 --> 00:24.160 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girtle about 00:24.160 --> 00:27.400 his loins, and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 00:27.900 --> 00:32.420 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round 00:32.420 --> 00:36.520 about Jordan, and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 00:37.560 --> 00:41.340 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, 00:41.900 --> 00:47.540 he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who have warned you to flee from the wrath 00:47.540 --> 00:48.040 to come? 00:48.780 --> 00:53.320 Bring forth therefore fruit, meat for repentance, and think not to say within 00:53.320 --> 00:56.360 yourselves, We have Abraham to our father. 00:57.160 --> 01:02.040 For I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto 01:02.040 --> 01:02.560 Abraham. 01:03.380 --> 01:07.200 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees. 01:07.660 --> 01:13.060 Therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast 01:13.060 --> 01:13.760 into the fire. 01:14.740 --> 01:20.540 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is 01:20.540 --> 01:24.420 mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. 01:24.980 --> 01:31.360 He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire, whose fan is in his hand. 01:31.580 --> 01:36.060 And he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner. 01:36.460 --> 01:39.980 But he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 01:40.460 --> 01:44.560 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him. 01:45.120 --> 01:51.360 But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to 01:51.360 --> 01:51.680 me? 01:52.080 --> 01:57.040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now, for thus it 01:57.040 --> 01:59.340 becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. 01:59.760 --> 02:00.940 Then he suffered him. 02:01.440 --> 02:05.200 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water. 02:05.740 --> 02:08.020 And, lo, the heavens were opened unto him. 02:08.280 --> 02:13.260 And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. 02:13.800 --> 02:19.620 And, lo, a voice from heaven saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
