Gospels explained by Jesus - Gospel messages, gospels explanation

1 AND in those days came John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea.
2 And saying: Do penance ( repent ) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4 And the same John had his garment of camels' hair, and a leather belt around his waist: and his food was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan made their way to him:
6 And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: You brood of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance.
9 And do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you in the water for repentance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry; he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire.
12 His winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
