003:012 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said
to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
003:013 He said to them, "Collect no more than that which is
appointed to you."
003:014 Soldiers also asked him, saying, "What about us? What must we do?"
He said to them, "Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse
anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages."
003:015 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their
hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
003:016 John answered them all, "I indeed baptize you with water,
but he comes who is mightier than I, the latchet of whose
sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you
in the Holy Spirit and fire,
003:017 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his
threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn;
but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
003:018 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news
to the people,
003:019 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias,
his brother's{TR reads "brother Philip's" instead of "brother's"}
wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
003:020 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
003:021 Now it happened, when all the people were baptized,
Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying.
The sky was opened,
003:022 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him;
and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son.
In you I am well pleased."
003:023 Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old,
