1 At that time, John the Baptist came forward and preached to the people who came to the Judean desert for him: 2 ‘gimmickhuYou’re from SVychrevelrythe CHor to God, thereforete prichafromie His choseny chaal.‘ 3 About John the prophet Isaiah predicted: ‘of pousthim A voice will be heard: Prepare the path for the Lord and remove all obstacles.” 4 John had a garment made of camel hair girded with a leather belt. He fed on what the desert provided: grasshoppers and honey of wild bees. 5 People from Jerusalem, from all of Judah, and from Zajordan, gathered for him. 6 They were baptized by him in the Jordan River to publicly confess their wrongdoing.
7 When John saw that many zealous and noblest Jews – the Pharisees and the Sadducees – came to baptism, he said to them: ‘Mindiete si, te se from bolifetackle him in courtiete like snakes? 8 prove by changing your life that you have turned from your guilt. 9 Don’t think, te inaM POMbite if you will revelryKat: ‘We are descendants of Abraham, Bolife electy naRod.‘ IntDYhu borH Si mbitE Promhimnit i you with whichyme you scoldate. 10 ax bolifehim the court is ut Attached to the root of the tree.

John baptizes Jesus
13 That’s when Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 He was very reluctant: ‘Ja I would mhiml byt pokrthimn from you and you gos To MNhim.‘ 15 Jesus answered him: ‘Just that, begiem, udhimpouring mustieme to meet bolife inorif.’ And so John baptized him. 16 When Jesus came out of the water, he saw God’s spirit descend upon him from heaven in the form of a dove. 17 And a voice spoke from heaven: ‘This is my beloved son whom I have chosen!’ (verse 17 translation B21)
