(A)John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance [a]for the remission of sins. (B)Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

Now John was (C)clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, (D)“There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. (E)I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you (F)with the Holy Spirit.”

John Baptizes Jesus(G)

(H)It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 (I)And immediately, coming up [b]from the water, He saw the heavens [c]parting and the Spirit (J)descending upon Him like a dove. 11 Then a voice came from heaven, (K)“You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
