John 1:19-36
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?He said, I[ am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

Matthew 3:1-17
In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to[ our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and[ with] fire:Whose fan[ is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer[ it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Luke 3:1-38
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways[ shall be] made smooth;And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to[ our] father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse[ any] falsely; and be content with your wages.And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;John answered, saying unto[ them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:Whose fan[ is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being( as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was[ the son] of Heli,Which was[ the son] of Matthat, which was[ the son] of Levi, which was[ the son] of Melchi, which was[ the son] of Janna, which was[ the son] of Joseph,Which was[ the son] of Mattathias, which was[ the son] of Amos, which was[ the son] of Naum, which was[ the son] of Esli, which was[ the son] of Nagge,Which was[ the son] of Maath, which was[ the son] of Mattathias, which was[ the son] of Semei, which was[ the son] of Joseph, which was[ the son] of Juda,Which was[ the son] of Joanna, which was[ the son] of Rhesa, which was[ the son] of Zorobabel, which was[ the son] of Salathiel, which was[ the son] of Neri,Which was[ the son] of Melchi, which was[ the son] of Addi, which was[ the son] of Cosam, which was[ the son] of Elmodam, which was[ the son] of Er,Which was[ the son] of Jose, which was[ the son] of Eliezer, which was[ the son] of Jorim, which was[ the son] of Matthat, which was[ the son] of Levi,Which was[ the son] of Simeon, which was[ the son] of Juda, which was[ the son] of Joseph, which was[ the son] of Jonan, which was[ the son] of Eliakim,Which was[ the son] of Melea, which was[ the son] of Menan, which was[ the son] of Mattatha, which was[ the son] of Nathan, which was[ the son] of David,Which was[ the son] of Jesse, which was[ the son] of Obed, which was[ the son] of Booz, which was[ the son] of Salmon, which was[ the son] of Naasson,Which was[ the son] of Aminadab, which was[ the son] of Aram, which was[ the son] of Esrom, which was[ the son] of Phares, which was[ the son] of Juda,Which was[ the son] of Jacob, which was[ the son] of Isaac, which was[ the son] of Abraham, which was[ the son] of Thara, which was[ the son] of Nachor,Which was[ the son] of Saruch, which was[ the son] of Ragau, which was[ the son] of Phalec, which was[ the son] of Heber, which was[ the son] of Sala,Which was[ the son] of Cainan, which was[ the son] of Arphaxad, which was[ the son] of Sem, which was[ the son] of Noe, which was[ the son] of Lamech,Which was[ the son] of Mathusala, which was[ the son] of Enoch, which was[ the son] of Jared, which was[ the son] of Maleleel, which was[ the son] of Cainan,Which was[ the son] of Enos, which was[ the son] of Seth, which was[ the son] of Adam, which was[ the son] of God.
