Superior Word Translation - Matthew 3

Matthew

3 And in those days, comes John the Baptist, proclaiming in the desolate of Judea, 2 and saying, “Reconsider! For it has neared – the kingdom of the heavens.” 3 For this is he, having been spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “A voice hollering in the desolate, ‘Prepare the Lord’s way. Make straight His paths.’”

4 And he, John, had his apparel from camel’s hair, and a leathery girdle around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the surrounding of the Jordan, 6 and they were immersed in the Jordan by him, acknowledging their sins.

7 And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his immersion, he said to them, “Vipers’ offspring! Who disclosed to you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce, you, therefore, fruits worthy of reconsideration, 9 and think not to say in yourselves, ‘A father, we have – Abraham.’ For I say to you that God can from these stones rouse children to Abraham. 10 And already also, the ax, toward the root of the trees it lies. Therefore, every tree not producing good fruit, it is hewn, and into fire, it is thrown. 11 Indeed, I, I immerse you in water to reconsideration, but He coming after me is mightier than I. He is whom I am not adequate to lift His sandals. He, he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 Whose winnower - in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing-floor. And He will gather His wheat into the granary, but the chaff He will consume – fire unquenchable.

13 Then Jesus, He comes from Galilee upon the Jordan unto John to be immersed by him. 14 And John, he thoroughly hinders Him, saying, “I, I have need by You to be immersed, and You, You come unto me?” 15 And Jesus, having answered, said unto him, ‘Permit now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he permits Him.

16 And having been immersed, Jesus immediately ascended from the water. And behold! The heavens – they were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon Him. 17 And behold! A voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is My Son – the Beloved in whom I approved”
