- Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.
- John’s clothing was made of camel’s hair, with a leather loincloth around his waist, and his food consisted of locusts and wild honey.
- Produce good fruit as proof of your repentance.
- I baptize you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I am. I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
- And a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
The way of God is blameless,
and the Lord’s promise proves true;
he is a shield to all
who flee to him for safety.
