And in those days Yochanan the Immerser came, and he was proclaiming in the wilderness of Yehuda,
܀
and said, Repent, the kingdom of heaven has come near.
܀
For this is he who was spoken of by the hand of Eshaya the prophet: A voice calling in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Master YHWH, and make his paths straight.
܀
Now this Yochanan had clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt on his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
܀
Then Urishlim went out to him, and all Yehuda, and all the region around the Yordanan,
܀
and they were immersed by him in the Yordanan river while confessing their sins.
܀
But when he saw many from the Pharisees and from the Sadducees who were coming to be immersed, he said to them: Offspring of vipers, who has shown you to flee from the wrath that is coming?
܀
Produce therefore fruits that are worthy of repentance.
܀
And do not think and say within yourselves, We have Avraham as father: for I say to you that Elohim is able from these stones to raise up children for Avraham.
܀
Look, the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not produce good fruit is cut down and falls into the fire.
܀
I immerse you with water for repentance; but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you with the Ruach haKodesh and with fire.
܀
His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will clean his threshing-floor. He will gather the wheat into his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire that is not quenched.
܀
Then Y'shua came from Galila to the Yordanan to Yochanan, to be immersed by him.
܀
But Yochanan was refusing him and said, I need to be immersed by you, and have you come to me?
܀
But Y'shua answered and said to him, Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed him.
܀
And when Y'shua was immersed, he went up at once from the water, and the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Ruach of Elohim descending like a dove and coming upon him.
܀
And a voice from heaven that said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
