See the chapter Copy

Now when Yeshua was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were immersed by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

“The Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

He came into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins.

He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Yochanan also was immersing in Enon near Salim, because there was much water there. They came and were immersed;

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
