Luke 3 (CEB)
16 [John the Baptist is speaking], “I baptize you with water, but the One who is more powerful than me is coming. I’m not worthy to loosen the strap of His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 The shovel He uses to sift the wheat from the husks is in His hands. He will clean out His threshing area and bring the wheat into His barn. But He will burn the husks with a fire that can’t be put out.”
22b There was a voice from heaven: “You [Jesus] are my Son, whom I dearly love; in You I find happiness.”
