John Points to the Messiah
Luke 3:15-20
15
As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,
16
Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.
17
Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched.
18
Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people.
19
But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,
20
He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.
