|  | But having seen |  | ♦ |  | many |  | of the |  | Pharisees |  | and |  | Sadducees |  | coming

| επι |  | το |  | βαπτισμα |  | αυτου |  | ειπεν |  | αυτοις |  | γεννηματα |  | εχιδνων |  | τις |
| to |  | his baptism, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | he said |  | to them, |  | Offspring |  | of vipers, |  | who |

υπεδειξεν |  | υμιν |  | φυγειν |  | απο |  | της |  | μελλουσης |  |
you |  | to flee |  | from |  | the |  | coming |  | wrath? |  |

| 8 | ποιησατε |  | ουν |  | καρπους |  | αξιους |  | της |  | μετανοιας |  |
|  | Produce |  | therefore |  | fruits |  | worthy |  | ♦ |  | of repentance: |  |

| 9 | και |  | μη |  | δοξητε |  | λεγειν |  | εν |  | εαυτοις |  | πατερα |  | εχομεν |  | τον |  | αβρααμ |

| 10 | ηδη |  | δε |  | και |  | η |  | αξινη |  | προς |  | την |  | ριζαν |  | των |  | δενδρων |  | κειται |  | παν |
|  | But already |  | ♦ |  | also |  | the |  | axe |  | to |  | the |  | root |  | of the |  | trees |  | is applied: |  | every 2 |

ουν |  | δενδρον |  | μη |  | ποιουν |  | καρπον |  | καλον |  | εκκοπτεται |  | και |  | εις |  | πυρ |
therefore 1 |  | tree |  | not |  | producing |  | fruit 2 |  | good 1 |  | is cut down |  | and |  | into |  | [the] fire |

βαλλεται |  |
is cast. |  |

πυρι |  |
with fire. |  |

| 12 | ου |  | το |  | πτυον |  | εν |  | τη |  | χειρι |  | αυτου |  | και |  | διακαθαριει |
|  | Of whom |  | the |  | winnowing fan [is] |  | in |  | ♦ |  | hand 2 |  | his, 1 |  | and |  | he will thoroughly purge |

την |  | αλωνα |  | αυτου |  | και |  | συναξει |  | τον |  | σιτον |  | αυτου |  | εις |  | την |  | αποθηκην |
his floor, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | and |  | will gather |  | his wheat |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | into |  | the |  | granary, |

|  | Then |  | comes |  | ♦ |  | Jesus |  | from |  | ♦ |  | Galilee |  | to |  | the |  | Jordan |  | to |

τον |  | ιωαννην |  | του |  | βαπτισθηναι |  | υπ |  | αυτου |  |
♦ |  | John, |  | ♦ |  | to be baptized |  | by |  | him. |  |

| 14 | ο |  | δε |  | ιωαννης |  | διεκωλυεν |  | αυτον |  | λεγων |  | εγω |  | χρειαν |  | εχω |  | υπο |  | σου |
|  | But John |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | was hindering |  | him, |  | saying, |  | I |  | need 2 |  | have 1 |  | by |  | thee |

βαπτισθηναι |  | και |  | συ |  | ερχη |  | προς |  | με |  |
to be baptized, |  | and |  | thou 2 |  | comest 1 |  | to |  | me? |  |

| 15 | αποκριθεις |  | δε |  | ο |  | ιησους |  | ειπεν |  | προς |  | αυτον |  | αφες |  | αρτι |  | ουτως |  | γαρ |
|  | Answering 3 |  | but 1 |  | ♦ |  | Jesus 2 |  | said |  | to |  | him, |  | Suffer [it] |  | now; |  | for thus |  | ♦ |

πρεπον |  | εστιν |  | ημιν |  | πληρωσαι |  | πασαν |  | δικαιοσυνην |  | τοτε |  | αφιησιν |  | αυτον |  |
becoming |  | it is |  | to us |  | to fulfil |  | all |  | righteousness. |  | Then |  | he suffers |  | him. |  |

| 16 | και |  | βαπτισθεις |  | ο |  | ιησους |  | ανεβη |  | ευθυς |  | απο |  | του |  | υδατος |  | και |  | ιδου
|  | And |  | having been baptized |  | ♦ |  | Jesus |  | went up |  | immediately |  | from |  | the |  | water: |  | and |  | behold,

| ανεωχθησαν |  | αυτω |  | οι |  | ουρανοι |  | και |  | ειδεν |  | το |  | πνευμα |  | του |  | θεου |
