preaching in the Desert of Judea 2 and saying,
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." ….
11 "I baptize you with water for repentance.
But after me will come one who is more
powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to
carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit
and with fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his
hand, and he will clear his threshing floor,
gathering his wheat into the barn and burning
up the chaff with unquenchable fire." 13 Then
Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be
baptized by John.

3:1-17 (NIV)
14 But John tried to deter him, saying, "I
need to be baptized by you, and do you
come to me?" 15 Jesus replied, "Let it be
so now; it is proper for us to do this to
fulfill all righteousness." Then John
consented. 16 As soon as Jesus was
baptized, he went up out of the water. At
that moment heaven was opened, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a
dove and lighting on him. 17 And a voice
from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I
love; with him I am well pleased.“
