	John (Yohanan) the Baptist Prepares the Way...
1.	And in those days Yohanan the Immerser came proclaiming in the wilderness of Yehudah,	In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2.	and saying, 'Repent, for the reign of the heavens has come near!'	And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3.	For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Yeshayahu, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of YHWH, make His paths straight.''	For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4.	And Yohanan had a garment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.	And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5.	Then Yerushalayim, and all Yehudah, and all the country around the Yarden went out to him,	Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6.	and they were immersed by him in the Yarden, confessing their sins.	And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7.	And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, 'Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?	But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8.	'Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance,	Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9.	and do not think to say to yourselves, `We have Abraham as father.` For I say to you that Elohim is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.	And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10.	'And the axe is already laid to the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.	And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11.	'I indeed immerse you in water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to bear. He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit and fire.	I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:
12.	`His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He shall thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor, and gather His wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff He shall burn with unquenchable fire.`	Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
	The Baptism of Jesus (Yahushua)...
13.	Then Yahushua came from Galil to Yohanan at the Yarden to be immersed by him.	Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14.	But Yohanan was hindering Him, saying, 'I need to be immersed by You, and You come to me?'	But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15.	But Yahushua answering, said to him, `Permit it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fill all righteousness.` Then he permitted Him.	And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16.	And having been immersed, Yahushua went up immediately from the water, and see, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a dove and coming upon Him,	And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17.	and see, a voice out of the heavens, saying, 'This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'	And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
