And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
