Matthew 3 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
5 Then went forth to him Jerusalem and all Jewry, and all the country about Jordan:
6 & were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his Baptism, he said to them. Ye viper's brood, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Yield therefore fruit worthy of penance.
11 I indeed baptize you in water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is stronger than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost & fire.
Baptism of Jesus
13 Then cometh JESUS from Galilee to Jordan, unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And JESUS answering, said to him: Suffer me for this time. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then he suffered him.
16 And JESUS being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo the Heavens were opened to him: & he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, & coming upon him.
