MY WORD
Matthew 3:11–17 (NKJV) 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I
am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12
His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His
threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.” 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to
John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to
prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” 15
But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it
is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. 16
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and
behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came
from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Mark 1:1–11 (The Living Bible) 1 Here
begins the wonderful story of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. 2 In
the book written by the prophet Isaiah, God announced that he would send his
Son to earth, and that a special messenger would arrive first to prepare the
world for his coming. 3 “This messenger will live out in the barren
wilderness,” Isaiah said, “and will proclaim that everyone must straighten out
his life to be ready for the Lord’s arrival.” 4 This messenger was
John the Baptist. He lived in the wilderness and taught that all should be
baptized as a public announcement of their decision to turn their backs on sin,
so that God could forgive them. 5 People from Jerusalem and from all
over Judea traveled out into the Judean wastelands to see and hear John, and
when they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River. 6
His clothes were woven from camel’s hair and he wore a leather belt; locusts
and wild honey were his food. 7 Here is a sample of his preaching: “Someone is coming soon who is far greater
than I am, so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave. 8
I baptize you with water but he will baptize you with God’s Holy Spirit!” 9
Then one day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John
there in the Jordan River. 10 The moment Jesus came up out of the
water, he saw the heavens open and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove
descending on him, 11 and a voice from heaven said, “You are my
beloved Son; you are my Delight.”
Luke 3:15–17 (NKJV) 15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their
hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, 16 John
answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy
to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His
winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His
threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn
with unquenchable fire.”
John 1:21–34 (NKJV) 21 And they asked him,
“What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he
answered, “No.” 22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may
give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” 23
He said: “I am ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Make
straight the way of the Lord,” ’
as the prophet Isaiah said.” 24 Now those who were sent were from
the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you
baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John
answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but there stands One among you
whom you do not know. 27 It is He who, coming after me, is preferred
before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.” 28 These
things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. 29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who is preferred before me,
for He was before me.’ 31 I did not know Him; but that He should be
revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.” 32 And
John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a
dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who
sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit
descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy
Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of
God.”
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context asking
the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
