42:003:009 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.
42:003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
42:003:011 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.
42:003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized,
and said unto him,
Master,
what shall we do?
42:003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than
that which is
appointed
you.
42:003:014 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.
42:003:015 And as the people were in expectation,
and all men mused in
their
hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
42:003:016 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:
42:003:017 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.
42:003:018 And many other things in his exhortation
preached he unto the
people.
42:003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved
by him for Herodias his
brother
Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod
had
done,
42:003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
42:003:021 Now when all the people were baptized,
it came to pass, that
Jesus
also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
42:003:022 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.
42:003:023 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,
42:003:024 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,
42:003:025 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,
42:003:026 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,
