3:1 In
those
daies
came
Iohn
the
Baptist,
preaching
in
the
wildernesse
of
Iudea,
3:2 And
saying,
Repent
yee:
for
the
kingdome
of
heauen
is
at
hand.
3:3 For
this
is
he
that
was
spoken
of
by
the
Prophet
Esaias,
saying,
The
voyce
of
one
crying
in
the
wildernes,
Prepare
ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight.
3:4 And
the
same
Iohn
had
his
raiment
of
camels
haire,
and
a
leatherne
girdle
about
his
loynes,
and
his
meate
was
locusts
and
wilde
hony.
3:5 Then
went
out
to
him
Hierusalem,
and
all
Iudea,
and
all
the
region
round
about
Iordane,
3:6 And
were
baptized
of
him
in
Iordane,
confessing
their
sinnes.
3:7 But
when
he
saw
many
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadducees
come
to
his
Baptisme,
he
said
vnto
them,
O
generation
of
vipers,
who
hath
warned
you
to
flee
from
the
wrath
to
come
3:8 Bring
forth
therefore
fruits
meet
for
repentance.
3:9 And
thinke
not
to
say
within
your
selues,
Wee
haue
Abraham
to
our
father:
For
I
say
vnto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
vp
children
vnto
Abraham.
3:10 And
now
also
the
axe
is
layd
vnto
the
root
of
the
trees:
Therefore
euery
tree
which
bringeth
not
foorth
good
fruite,
is
hewen
downe,
and
cast
into
the
fire.
3:11 I
indeed
baptize
you
with
water
vnto
repentance:
but
he
that
commeth
after
mee,
is
mightier
then
I,
whose
shooes
I
am
not
worthy
to
beare,
hee
shall
baptize
you
with
the
holy
Ghost,
and
with
fire.
3:12 Whose
fanne
is
in
his
hand,
and
he
will
throughly
purge
his
floore,
and
gather
his
wheat
into
the
garner:
but
wil
burne
vp
the
chaffe
with
vnquenchable
fire.
3:13 Then
commeth
Iesus
from
Galilee
to
Iordane,
vnto
Iohn,
to
be
baptized
of
him:
3:14 But
Iohn
forbade
him,
saying,
I
haue
need
to
bee
baptized
of
thee,
and
commest
thou
to
me
3:15 And
Iesus
answering,
said
vnto
him,
Suffer
it
to
be
so
now:
for
thus
it
becommeth
vs
to
fulfill
all
righteousnesse.
Then
he
suffered
him.
3:16 And
Iesus,
when
hee
was
baptized,
went
vp
straightway
out
of
the
water:
and
loe,
the
heauens
were
opened
vnto
him,
and
he
saw
the
Spirit
of
God
descending
like
a
doue,
and
lighting
vpon
him.
3:17 And
loe,
a
voice
from
heauen,
saying,
This
is
my
beloued
Sonne,
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased.
