5 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if
John might possibly be the Christ. 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you
with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose
sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
with fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to
gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable
fire…” 21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too.
And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended
on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my
Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” 23 Now Jesus himself was about
thirty years old when he began his ministry.
