7. And he proclaimed, saying, “After me comes One who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8. “I indeed did immerse you in water, but He shall immerse you in the Set-apart Spirit.”
9. And it came to be in those days that יהושע came from Natsareth of Galil, and was immersed by Yoḥanan in the Yardĕn.
10. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit coming down on Him like a dove.
11. And a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight.”
12. And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13. And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tried by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the messengers attended Him.
14. And after Yoḥanan was delivered up, יהושע came to Galil, proclaiming the Good News of the reign of Elohim,
15. and saying, “The time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16. And walking by the Sea of Galil, He saw Shim‛on, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
