John said: Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is near. Listen! I am a voice calling out in the wilderness: The Eternal One is on His way!
He told some religious leaders who came for the ritual baptism, “You children of serpents! You brood of vipers! Did someone suggest you flee from the wrath that is to come? If you think that simply hopping in the Jordan will cleanse you, then you are sorely mistaken. Your life must bear the fruits of turning toward righteousness.
I ritually cleanse you through baptism as a mark of turning your life around. But someone is coming after me, someone whose sandals I am not fit to untie.
He will wash you not in water but in fire and with the Holy Spirit.
[John sees Jesus coming toward him.]
Look! The Lamb sent from God, the sacrifice to redeem the sins of the world!
(From Matthew 3 and John 1)
