and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias in the wilderness:

and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
4 Hessika qasse nabe Isayaasay bazon hizgidi wassiza asa koshinch “Godas oge giigissite baassidikka lo7ethite.
as it is written in the book of Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:
5 Shoobba biittay wuri kumana guutha zumayne gita zumay wuri ziq gaana geella ogey sitta moorettida ogey lo7o gidana.
every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth:

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He will baptize you with the holy Spirit, and with fire;

Now, when all the people were baptized, and Jesus was baptized and praying,
