Matthew 3:11-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹¹ I baptize you with water so that you will change the way you think and act. But the one who comes after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹² His winnowing ^[a] shovel is in his hand, and he will clean up his threshing floor.^[b] He will gather his wheat into a barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.”

John Baptizes Jesus^(A)

¹³ Then Jesus appeared. He came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John.
