Luke 3:15–22

¹⁵But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether he might be the Christ, ¹⁶John answered all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸Exhorting then many other things also he announced his glad tidings to the people. ¹⁹But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done, ²⁰added this also to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.

²¹And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened, ²²and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
