And there followed G190 him great G4183 multitudes G3793 of people from Galilee, G1056 and from Decapolis, G1179 and from Jerusalem, G2414 and from Judaea, G2449 and from beyond G4008 Jordan. G2446

And as they departed, G4198 Jesus G2424 began G756 to say G3004 to the multitudes G3793 concerning G4012 John, G2491 What G5101 went G1831 you out into G1519 the wilderness G2048 to see? G2300 A reed G2563 shaken G4531 with the wind? G417

But what G5101 went G1831 you out for to see? G1492 A prophet? G4396 yes, G3483 I say G3004 to you, and more G4055 than a prophet. G4396

Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, Among G1722 them that are born G1084 of women G1135 there has not risen G1453 a greater G3187 than John G2491 the Baptist: G910 notwithstanding he that is least G3398 in the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is greater G3187 than he.

And there went G1607 out to him all G3956 the land G5561 of Judaea, G2449 and they of Jerusalem, G2414 and were all G3956 baptized G907 of him in the river G4215 of Jordan, G2446 confessing G1843 their sins. G266

Then G3767 said G3004 he to the multitude G3793 that came G1607 forth G1607 to be baptized G907 of him, O generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 who G5101 has warned G5263 you to flee G5343 from the wrath G3709 to come? G3195

The law G3551 and the prophets G4396 were until G2193 John: G2491 since G575 that time G5119 the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is preached, G2097 and every G3956 man presses G971 into G1519 it.

And John G2491 also G2532 was baptizing G907 in Aenon G137 near G1451 to Salim, G4530 because G3754 there was much G4183 water G5204 there: G1563 and they came, G3854 and were baptized. G907

He was a burning G2545 and a shining G5316 light: G3088 and you were willing G2309 for a season G5610 to rejoice G21 in his light. G5457
