The Voice
12 He carries a winnowing fork in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor; He will gather up the good wheat in His barn, and He will burn the chaff with a fire that cannot be put out.
13 And then, the One of whom John spoke—the all-powerful Jesus—came to the Jordan from Galilee to be washed[a] by John. 14 At first, John demurred.
John: I need to be cleansed[b] by You. Why do You come to me?
