Matthew 3:11–12
4Now, John himself was in the habit of wearing his outer garment made from camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his loins. And his diet was composed of locusts and wild honey. Then there proceeded out to him in a steady stream, Jerusalem and all Judaea and all the surrounding country about the Jordan. And they were being immersed in the Jordan river by him while making a public confession of their sins. But, having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who gave you a private, confidential hint that you should be fleeing from the wrath about to break at any moment? Produce therefore fruit weighing as much as the repentance you profess. And do not think to be saying within yourselves, A father we have, Abraham; for I am saying to you that God is able out of these stones as source material to raise up children to Abraham. And already the axe has been placed at the root of the trees and lies there ready for use. Therefore, every tree which is not producing fruit which is good is being cut out and is being thrown into fire. As for myself, I indeed immerse you in water because of repentance. But He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He himself will baptize you in the sphere of and by means of the Holy Spirit and fire, whose winnowing fork is in His hand. And He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor and will gather His wheat into the granary. But the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable.
Mark 1:7–8
4There came upon the human scene, John the Baptizer, in the uninhabited region, making a public proclamation with that formality, gravity, and authority which must be heeded and obeyed, of a baptism which had to do with a change of mind relative to the previous life an individual lived, this baptism being in view of the fact that sins are put away. And there kept on proceeding out to him in a steady stream all the Judaean region and all the people of Jerusalem. And they were being baptized by him in the Jordan river as they were confessing their sins. And there was this John, clothed habitually in a camel’s hair garment, a leather belt about his loins, his diet locusts and wild honey. And he made a proclamation, saying, There comes He who is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. As for myself, I baptized you by means of water. But He himself will baptize you by means of the Holy Spirit.
Luke 3:15–18
15And since the people were in a state of expectancy, and all men were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether perchance he could possibly be the Christ, John answered saying to all, As for myself, I baptize you by means of water. But there comes He who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He himself shall baptize you by means of the Holy Spirit and by means of fire, whose winnowing-shovel is in His hand for the purpose of thoroughly cleansing His threshing-floor and of gathering the wheat into His granary. But the chaff He will burn up completely in fire that is unquenchable. Now, many and various things, as he was exhorting, he brought as good news to the people. But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked effectually by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother, and concerning all the pernicious things Herod did, added also this to them all, that he confined John in prison.
John 1:24–28
24And those who were sent off on the mission were of the Pharisees. And they asked him and said to him, Why then are you baptizing since you are not the Christ, nor even Elijah, nor even the Prophet? John answered them saying, As for myself, I am baptizing by means of water. In your midst there stands He whom you are not knowing, He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose. These things in Bethany across the Jordan took place where John was engaged in baptizing.
