6. John wore clothes made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7. He announced, "One stronger than I am is coming after me. I’m not even worthy to bend over and loosen the strap of his sandals.
8. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9. About that time, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River.
10. While he was coming up out of the water, Jesus saw heaven splitting open and the Spirit, like a dove, coming down on him.
11. And there was a voice from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I dearly love; in you I find happiness."
12. At once the Spirit forced Jesus out into the wilderness.
13. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan. He was among the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.
14. After John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee announcing God’s good news,
15. saying, "Now is the time! Here comes God’s kingdom! Change your hearts and lives, and trust this good news!"
