5 aThen all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was aclothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying, a“There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 aI indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you bwith the Holy Spirit.”
John Baptizes Jesus
9 aIt came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 aAnd immediately, coming up1 from the water, He saw the heavens2 parting and the Spirit bdescending upon Him like a dove.
