InG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 cameG3854 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910, preachingG2784 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of JudaeaG2449,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, Repent yeG3340: forG1063 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at handG1448.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is heG2076 that was spokenG4483 of byG5259 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
AndG1161 the sameG846 JohnG2491 hadG2192 hisG846 raimentG1742 ofG575 camel'sG2574 hairG2359, andG2532 a leathernG1193 girdleG2223 aboutG4012 hisG846 loinsG3751; andG1161 hisG846 meatG5160 wasG2258 locustsG200 andG2532 wildG66 honeyG3192.
ThenG5119 went outG1607 toG4314 himG846 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 allG3956 the region round aboutG4066 JordanG2446,
AndG2532 were baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846 inG1722 JordanG2446, confessingG1843 theirG846 sinsG266.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 waterG5204 untoG1519 repentanceG3341: butG1161 he that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 isG2076 mightier thanG2478 IG3450, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to bearG941: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 with fireG4442:
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
ThenG5119 comethG3854 JesusG2424 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1909 JordanG2446 untoG4314 JohnG2491, to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846.
ButG1161 JohnG2491 forbadG1254 him, sayingG3004, IG1473 haveG2192 needG5532 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 theeG4675, andG2532 comestG2064 thouG4771 toG4314 meG3165?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, SufferG863 it to be so nowG737: forG1063 thusG3779 it becomethG4241+G2076 usG2254 to fulfilG4137 allG3956 righteousness.G1343 ThenG5119 he sufferedG863 himG846.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
AndG2532 loG2400 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106.

NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 CaesarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG9, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces}
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, AmongG1722 them that are bornG1084 of womenG1135 there hathG1453 notG3756 risenG1453 a greater thanG3187 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: notwithstandingG1161 he that is leastG3398 inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 isG2076 greater thanG3187 heG846.
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 shall be revealedH1540, and all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 it togetherH3162: for the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
The voiceH6963 saidH559, CryH7121. And he saidH559, What shall I cryH7121? All fleshH1320 is grassH2682, and all the goodlinessH2617 thereof is as the flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704:
AndG1161 asG5130 they departedG4198, JesusG2424 beganG756 to sayG3004 unto the multitudesG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went yeG1831 out intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 withG5259 the windG417?
AnnasG452 andG2532 CaiaphasG2533 beingG1909 the high priestsG749, the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 untoG1909 JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of ZachariasG2197 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
AndG2532 saidG2036 unto hisG846 servantsG3816, ThisG3778 isG2076 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; heG846 is risenG1453 fromG575 the deadG3498; andG2532 thereforeG1223+G5124 mighty worksG1411 do shew forth themselvesG1754 inG1722 himG846. {do…: or, are wrought by him}
ForG1063 HerodG2264 had laid holdG2902 on JohnG2491, and boundG1210 himG846, andG2532 putG5087 him inG1722 prisonG5438 forG1223 Herodias'G2266 sakeG1223, hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 herG846.
AndG2532 when he wouldG2309 have putG615 himG846 to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the multitudeG3793, becauseG3754 they countedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396.
ButG1161 when Herod'sG2264 birthdayG1077 was keptG71, the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 before themG1722+G3319, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264. {before…: Gr. in the midst}
WhereuponG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 herG846 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 she would askG154.
AndG1161 she, being before instructedG4264 ofG5259 herG846 motherG3384, saidG5346, GiveG1325 meG3427 hereG5602 JohnG2491 Baptist'sG910 headG2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094.
AndG2532 the kingG935 was sorryG3076: nevertheless forG1161+G1223 the oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 them which sat with him at meatG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her.
AndG2532 he sentG3992, and beheadedG607 JohnG2491 inG1722 the prisonG5438.
AndG2532 hisG846 headG2776 was broughtG5342 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 givenG1325 to the damselG2877: andG2532 she broughtG5342 it to herG846 motherG3384.
AndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and took upG142 the bodyG4983, andG2532 buriedG2290 itG846, andG2532 wentG2064 and toldG518 JesusG2424.
WhenG2532 JesusG2424 heardG191 of it, he departedG402 thenceG1564 byG1722 shipG4143 intoG1519 a desertG2048 placeG5117 apartG2596+G2398: andG2532 when the peopleG3793 had heardG191 thereof, they followedG190 himG846 on footG3979 out ofG575 the citiesG4172.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 went forthG1831, and sawG1492 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, andG2532 was moved with compassionG4697 towardG1909 themG846, andG2532 he healedG2323 theirG846 sickG732.
AndG2532 preachedG2784, sayingG3004, There comethG2064 one mightier thanG2478 IG3450 afterG3694 meG3450, the latchetG2438 of whoseG3739 shoesG846+G5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to stoop downG2955 and unlooseG3089.
And now, behold, the LORDH3068 hath kept me aliveH2421, as he saidH1696, these fortyH705 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141, even sinceH227 the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 this wordH1697 unto MosesH4872, while the children of IsraelH3478 wanderedH1980 in the wildernessH4057: and now, lo, I am this dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121. {wandered: Heb. walked}
AndG1161 they saidG2036, Some say that thou artG3303 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910+G1161: someG243, EliasG2243; andG1161 othersG2087, JeremiasG2408, orG2228 oneG1520 of the prophetsG4396.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
ButG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 EliasG2243 is comeG2064 alreadyG2235, andG2532 they knewG1921 himG846 notG3756, butG235 have doneG4160 untoG1722 himG846 whatsoeverG3745 they listedG2309. LikewiseG3779 shallG3195 alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 sufferG3958 ofG5259 themG846.
And NibshanH5044, and the city of SaltH5898, and EngediH5872; sixH8337 citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 understoodG4920 thatG3754 he spakeG2036 unto themG846 ofG4012 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG1161 when the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 were departedG565, he beganG756 to speakG3004 untoG4314 the peopleG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, WhatG5101 went ye outG1831 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 for to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 withG5259 the windG417?
The baptismG908 of JohnG2491, whenceG4159 was itG2258? fromG1537 heavenG3772, orG2228 ofG1537 menG444? AndG1161 they reasonedG1260 withG3844 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, IfG1437 we shall sayG2036, FromG1537 heavenG3772; he will sayG2046 unto usG2254, WhyG1302 did yeG4100 notG3756 thenG3767 believeG4100 himG846?
ButG1161 ifG1437 we shall sayG2036, OfG1537 menG444; we fearG5399 the peopleG3793; forG1063 allG3956 holdG2192 JohnG2491 asG5613 a prophetG4396.
AndG2532 they answeredG611 JesusG2424, and saidG2036, We cannotG3756 tellG1492. AndG2532 heG846 saidG5346 unto themG846, NeitherG3761 tellG3004 IG1473 youG5213 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 these thingsG5023.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG5210, when ye had seenG1492 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, that ye might believeG4100 himG846.
JohnG2491 didG1096 baptizeG907 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, andG2532 preachG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266. {for: or, unto}
AndG2532 sayingG3004+G3754, The timeG2540 is fulfilledG4137, andG2532 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is at handG1448: repent yeG3340, andG2532 believeG4100+G1722 the gospelG2098.
ButG1161 when HerodG2264 heardG191 thereof, he saidG2036, ItG3778 isG2076 JohnG2491, whomG3754+G3739 IG1473 beheadedG607: heG846 is risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
ForG1063 HerodG2264 himselfG846 had sent forthG649 and laid holdG2902 upon JohnG2491, andG2532 boundG1210 himG846 inG1722 prisonG5438 forG1223 Herodias'G2266 sakeG1223, hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135: forG3754 he had marriedG1060 herG846.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 had saidG3004 unto HerodG2264+G3754, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 thyG4675 brother'sG80 wifeG1135.
ThereforeG1161 HerodiasG2266 had a quarrelG1758 against himG846, andG2532 wouldG2309 have killedG615 himG846; butG2532 she couldG1410 notG3756: {a quarrel: or, an inward grudge}
ForG1063 HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowingG1492 that heG846 was a justG1342 manG435 andG2532 an holyG40, andG2532 observedG4933 himG846; andG2532 when he heardG191 himG846, he didG4160 many thingsG4183, andG2532 heardG191 himG846 gladlyG2234. {observed him: or, kept him, or, saved him}
AndG2532 when a convenientG2121 dayG2250 was comeG1096, thatG3753 HerodG2264 on hisG846 birthdayG1077 madeG4160 a supperG1173 to hisG846 lordsG3175+G2532, high captainsG5506, andG2532 chiefG4413 estates of GalileeG1056;
AndG2532 when the daughterG2364 of the saidG846 HerodiasG2266 came inG1525, andG2532 dancedG3738, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264 andG2532 them that sat with himG4873, the kingG935 saidG2036 unto the damselG2877, AskG154 of meG3165 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 thou wiltG2309, andG2532 I will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
AndG2532 he swareG3660 unto herG846, WhatsoeverG3754+G3739+G1437 thou shalt askG154 of meG3165, I will giveG1325 it theeG4671, untoG2193 the halfG2255 of myG3450 kingdomG932.
AndG1161 she went forthG1831, and saidG2036 unto herG846 motherG3384, WhatG5101 shall I askG154? AndG1161 she saidG2036, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 she came inG1525 straightwayG2112 withG3326 hasteG4710 untoG4314 the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 thatG2443 thou giveG1325 meG3427 by and byG1824 inG1909 a chargerG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.
AndG2532 the kingG935 wasG1096 exceeding sorryG4036; yet forG1223 his oath's sakeG3727, andG2532 for their sakes whichG3588 sat with himG4873, he wouldG2309 notG3756 rejectG114 herG846.
AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 the kingG935 sentG649 an executionerG4688, and commandedG2004 hisG846 headG2776 to be broughtG5342: andG1161 he wentG565 and beheadedG607 himG846 inG1722 the prisonG5438, {an…: or, one of his guard}
AndG2532 broughtG5342 hisG846 headG2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094, andG2532 gaveG1325 itG846 to the damselG2877: andG2532 the damselG2877 gaveG1325 itG846 to herG846 motherG3384.
AndG2532 when hisG846 disciplesG3101 heardG191 of it, they cameG2064 andG2532 took upG142 hisG846 corpseG4430, andG2532 laidG5087 itG846 inG1722 a tombG3419.
ButG1161 the angelG32 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, FearG5399 notG3361, ZachariasG2197: forG1360 thyG4675 prayerG1162 is heardG1522; andG2532 thyG4675 wifeG1135 ElisabethG1665 shall bearG1080 theeG4671 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JohnG2491.
AndG2532 thouG4671 shalt haveG2071 joyG5479 andG2532 gladnessG20; andG2532 manyG4183 shall rejoiceG5463 atG1909 hisG846 birthG1083.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
AndG2532 manyG4183 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 shall he turnG1994 toG1909 the LordG2962 theirG846 GodG2316.
AndG2532 heG846 shall goG4281 beforeG1799 himG846 inG1722 the spiritG4151 andG2532 powerG1411 of EliasG2243, to turnG1994 the heartsG2588 of the fathersG3962 toG1909 the childrenG5043, andG2532 the disobedientG545 toG1722 the wisdomG5428 of the justG1342; to make readyG2090 a peopleG2992 preparedG2680 for the LordG2962. {to the wisdom: or, by the wisdom}
AndG2532 thouG4771, childG3813, shalt be calledG2564 the prophetG4396 of the HighestG5310: forG1063 thou shalt goG4313 beforeG4253 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 to prepareG2090 hisG846 waysG3598;
AnnasG452 andG2532 CaiaphasG2533 beingG1909 the high priestsG749, the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 untoG1909 JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of ZachariasG2197 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 the country aboutG4066 JordanG2446, preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266;
AsG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall beG2071 filledG4137, andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 hillG1015 shall be brought lowG5013; andG2532 the crookedG4646 shall be madeG1519 straightG2117, andG2532 the roughG5138 waysG3598 shall be madeG1519 smoothG3006;
AndG2532 allG3956 fleshG4561 shall seeG3700 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316.
ThenG3767 saidG3004 he to the multitudeG3793 that came forthG1607 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341, andG2532 beginG756 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11. {worthy of: or, meet for}
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
AndG2532 the peopleG3793 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 thenG3767?
He answerethG611 andG1161 saithG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 twoG1417 coatsG5509, let him impartG3330 to him that hathG2192 noneG3361; andG2532 he that hathG2192 meatG1033, let him doG4160 likewiseG3668.
ThenG1161 cameG2064 alsoG2532 publicansG5057 to be baptizedG907, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, MasterG1320, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, ExactG4238 noG3367 moreG4119 thanG3844 that which is appointedG1299 youG5213.
AndG1161 the soldiersG4754 likewiseG2532 demandedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, AndG2532 whatG5101 shall weG2249 doG4160? AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Do violenceG1286 to no manG3367, neitherG3366 accuse any falselyG4811; andG2532 be contentG714 with yourG5216 wagesG3800. {Do violence…: or, Put no man in fear} {wages: or, allowance}
AndG1161 as the peopleG2992 were in expectationG4328, andG2532 all menG3956 musedG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588 ofG4012 JohnG2491, whetherG3379 heG846 wereG1498 the ChristG5547, or notG3379; {in expectation: or, in suspense} {mused: or, reasoned, or, debated}
JohnG2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 unto them allG537, IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 with waterG5204; butG1161 one mightier thanG2478 IG3450 comethG2064, the latchetG2438 of whoseG3739+G846 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to unlooseG3089: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with fireG4442:
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.
AndG2532+G3767 manyG4183 otherG2087 thingsG4183+G3303 in his exhortationG3870 preachedG2097 he unto the peopleG2992.
ButG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076, being reprovedG1651 byG5259 himG846 forG4012 HerodiasG2266 hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135, andG2532 forG4012 allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG2264 had doneG4160,
AddedG4369 yetG2532 thisG5124 aboveG1909 allG3956, thatG2532 he shut upG2623 JohnG2491 inG1722 prisonG5438.
There wasG1096 a manG444 sentG649 fromG3844 GodG2316, whoseG846 nameG3686 was JohnG2491.
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
He wasG2258 notG3756 thatG1565 LightG5457, butG235 was sent toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 that LightG5457.
JohnG2491 bare witnessG3140 ofG4012 himG846, andG2532 criedG2896, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 was heG2258 of whomG3739 I spakeG2036, He that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 hath seenG3708 GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only begottenG3439 SonG5207, whichG3588 isG5607 inG1519 the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, heG1565 hath declaredG1834 him.
AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 the recordG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 fromG1537 JerusalemG2414 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, WhoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771?
AndG2532 he confessedG3670, andG2532 deniedG720 notG3756; butG2532 confessedG3670+G3754, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, WhatG5101 thenG3767? ArtG1488 thouG4771 EliasG2243? AndG2532 he saithG3004, I amG1510 notG3756. ArtG1488 thouG4771 that prophetG4396? AndG2532 he answeredG611, NoG3756. {that prophet: or, a prophet?}
ThenG3767 said theyG2036 unto himG846, WhoG5101 art thouG1488? thatG2443 we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to them that sentG3992 usG2248. WhatG5101 sayest thouG3004 ofG4012 thyselfG4572?
He saidG5346, IG1473 am the voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Make straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, asG2531 saidG2036 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268.
AndG2532 they whichG3588 were sentG649 wereG2258 ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330.
AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, WhyG5101 baptizest thouG907 thenG3767, ifG1487 thouG4771 beG1488 notG3756 that ChristG5547, norG3777 EliasG2243, neitherG3777 that prophetG4396?
JohnG2491 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204: butG1161 there standeth oneG2476 amongG3319 youG5216, whomG3739 yeG5210 knowG1492 notG3756;
HeG846 it isG2076, whoG3739 comingG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450, whoseG3739+G846 shoe'sG5266 latchetG2438 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 unlooseG3089.
These thingsG5023 were doneG1096 inG1722 BethabaraG962 beyondG4008 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG2258 baptizingG907.
The next dayG1887 JohnG2491 seethG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316, whichG3588 taketh awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889. {taketh away: or, beareth}
ThisG3778 is heG2076 ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036, AfterG3694 meG3450 comethG2064 a manG435 whichG3739 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG3450: forG3754 he wasG2258 beforeG4413 meG3450.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 thatG2443 he should be made manifestG5319 to IsraelG2474, thereforeG1223+G5124 amG2064 IG1473 comeG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG5204.
AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004+G3754, I sawG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846.
And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 he that sentG3992 meG3165 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG2036 unto meG3427, UponG1909 whomG3739+G302 thou shalt seeG1492 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG2076 he which baptizethG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
And IG2504 sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AgainG3825 the next day afterG1887 JohnG2491 stoodG2476, andG2532 twoG1417 ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3101;
AndG2532 looking uponG1689 JesusG2424 as he walkedG4043, he saithG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of GodG2316!
JohnG2491 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036, A manG444 canG1410+G3756 receiveG2983 nothingG3762, exceptG3362 it beG5600 givenG1325 himG846 fromG1537 heavenG3772. {receive: or, take unto himself}
YeG5210 yourselvesG846 bearG3140 meG3427 witnessG3140, thatG3754 I saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 the ChristG5547, butG235 thatG3754 I amG1510 sentG649 beforeG1715 himG1565.
He that hathG2192 the brideG3565 isG2076 the bridegroomG3566: butG1161 the friendG5384 of the bridegroomG3566, whichG3588 standethG2476 andG2532 hearethG191 himG846, rejoicethG5463 greatlyG5479 becauseG1223 of the bridegroom'sG3566 voiceG5456: thisG3778 myG1699 joyG5479 thereforeG3767 is fulfilledG4137.
HeG1565 mustG1163 increaseG837, butG1161 IG1691 must decreaseG1642.
He that comethG2064 from aboveG509 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956: he that isG5607 ofG1537 the earthG1093 isG2076 earthlyG1537+G1093, andG2532 speakethG2980 ofG1537 the earthG1093: he that comethG2064 fromG1537 heavenG3772 isG2076 aboveG1883 allG3956.
AndG2532 whatG3739 he hath seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191, thatG5124 he testifiethG3140; andG2532 no manG3762 receivethG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141.
He that hath receivedG2983 hisG846 testimonyG3141 hath set to his sealG4972 thatG3754 GodG2316 isG2076 trueG227.
ForG1063 he whomG3739 GodG2316 hath sentG649 speakethG2980 the wordsG4487 of GodG2316: forG1063 GodG2316 givethG1325 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 byG1537 measureG3358 unto him.
The FatherG3962 lovethG25 the SonG5207, andG2532 hath givenG1325 all thingsG3956 intoG1722 hisG846 handG5495.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544 the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 onG1909 himG846.
BeginningG756 fromG575 the baptismG908 of JohnG2491, untoG2193 that same dayG2250 thatG3739 he was taken upG353 fromG575 usG2257, mustG1163 oneG1520 be ordainedG1096 to be a witnessG3144 withG4862 usG2254 of hisG846 resurrectionG386.
When JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG4383+G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think yeG5282 that IG3165 amG1511? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG2400, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1691, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 of his feetG4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089.
