The Good News According to Matthew:
Chapter Three
3.1 & 2
Round about that time John the "Baptiser" appeared in the
barren lands of Judea. He said, "Mend your ways because God's kingly
rule is on its way."
3.5 & 6
Then people from Jerusalem and all over Judea, and from the
whole region around the River Jordan trooped out to John. They owned up to
their misdeeds and he baptised them in the Jordan. John saw that many
Pharisees and Sadducees were coming to him to be baptised.
3.11
John said: "I baptise you with water as a sign of your change of
heart. But someone more powerful is coming after me. I'm not fit even to
carry his sandals. He will baptise you with holy spirit and fire."
3.13
About that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan. He went to John
to be baptised by him.
