Roman Emperor Tiberius fifteen years, was born six months earlier than Jesus, Zechariah and Elizabeth's son, John, have grown. He lived in the wilderness, dressed in camel's hair, clothes, and gird belts, eat yellow insect and wild honey. Obey the call of God-year-old, he came out of the wilderness about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin.

At that time, the entire territory of Jerusalem and Jewish, and about Jordan who came to John here, confessing their sins, accept their baptism in the Jordan River. People call them "John the Baptist"
John baptized people who came to say: "You snakes born ah, who warned you to flee from the anger in you to bear fruit in keeping with repentance heart, you do not say:?." We have Abraham our fathers do. 'I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. Now the ax is already at the root, where the tree does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. "

I asked him: "What we should do?"
"There are two pieces of clothing, a piece of clothing to be distributed to people who do not have food, people should do it." John replied.
There is a tax history to be baptized, he asked: "how we should do?"
John said: "In addition to the tax example given, not overcharged."
And another soldier asked him: "how we should do?"
John said: "Do not propose violence of others, and do not blackmail others, they have money and grain to be satisfied."

People look forward to the time of Christ, in the heart of suspicion, perhaps John is Christ. John said to them:.. "I baptize you with water, but there is one mightier than I who want to come, I am not worthy to untie his creatures he wants to use him baptize you with fire dustpan in hand, to cleanse her field, the wheat into the barn, but the chaff with unquenchable fire done. "
John also used a lot of words to persuade people to evangelize them. Many people were baptized, even Jesus came.

Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him. But John forbad him, saying: "? I when baptized by you, and you actually come to me yet."

You promised me for the time being, because we should make this to fulfill all righteousness. "Jesus answered.
Then he promised, Jesus was baptized. When Jesus came up from the water of the Jordan River when the heaven was opened. He saw the Spirit of God, like a dove flew down from the sky and landed on him. Also came the voice from heaven, saying:. "This is my beloved Son, is my joy"
