but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am
not worthy to carry. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.{TR
and NU add "and with fire"}
003:012 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse
his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn,
but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."
003:013 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be
baptized by him.
003:014 But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized
by you, and you come to me?"
003:015 But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this
is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness."
Then he allowed him.
003:016 Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water:
and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit
of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
003:017 Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased."
004:001 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted by the devil.
004:002 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
he was hungry afterward.
004:003 The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
command that these stones become bread."
004:004 But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth
of God.'"{Deuteronomy 8:3}
004:005 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on
the pinnacle of the temple,
004:006 and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down,
for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge concerning you.'
and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don't
dash your foot against a stone.'"{Psalm 91:11-12}
004:007 Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not test
the Lord, your God.'"{Deuteronomy 6:16}
004:008 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain,
and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
004:009 He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you
will fall down and worship me."
004:010 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me,{TR and NU read "Go away"
instead of "Get behind me"} Satan! For it is written,
'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall
you serve.'"{Deuteronomy 6:13}
004:011 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
004:012 Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up,

004:013 Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is
by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
