Luke 3:15–22

¹⁵And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, ^uwhether he were the Christ, or not; ¹⁶John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the ^xlatchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: ¹⁷whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his ^ygarner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. ^19zBut ^aHerod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother ^aPhilip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, ²⁰added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

²¹Now when all the people were baptized, ^bit came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and ^cpraying, the heaven was opened, ²²and 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.
