And the same John had his raiment from camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan, were coming out to him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance; and think not to say among yourselves; We have Abraham, our father; for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. But already the ax is laid to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but there is One coming after me more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.

having spent some time, he went from them, traveling consecutively through the Galatian country and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples. And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came into Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures. And he was instructed in the way of the Lord, and zealous in spirit, was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John; read more.
and he began to preach boldly in the synagogue. But Priscilla and Aquila, having heard him, took him to themselves, and expounded unto him the way of the Lord more perfectly. And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brethren having sent him forth wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, being present, conferred much on those having believed through grace. For he vehemently argued down the Jews, publicly, showing through the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples, and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given). And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John. And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on the one coming after him, that is Jesus. And they, having heard, were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus; and Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy. And they were all about twelve men. And having come into the synagogue, he preached boldly three months, expounding and persuading them as to the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when some were becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding in the school of Tyrannus. And this took place two years; so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. And God was working great miracles through the hands of Paul; so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them. And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching. And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this. But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you? And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified; and many of those having believed came, confessing, and renouncing their practices. And many of those practicing curious arts, having brought their books, burnt them before all: and they estimated the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. Thus the word of the Lord increased and accumulated strength according to His power. And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome. And having sent two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, himself spent the time in Asia. And at that time there was no small commotion concerning the way. For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing no small gain to the mechanics, whom having assembled and the laborers about such things, he said, Men, you know that it is from this work that prosperity is to us: and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands. And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships. And hearing and being filled with rage, they continued to cry out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the city was filled with commotion: and they rushed of one accord into the theatre, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, the companions of Paul. And Paul wishing to go in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not; and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre. Then indeed they continued to cry out some one thing, and some another: for the church was confused; and the most of them did not know on account of what they had come together. And some from the crowd forced in Alexander, the Jews precipitating him forward; and Alexander, beckoning with his hand, wished to apologize to the people. But recognizing that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying out about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the city clerk having dismissed the multitudes, said, Ephesian men, for what one of men is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the statue having fallen down from Jupiter? Therefore these things being unquestionable, it is necessary that you become calm, and do nothing rashly. For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess. If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead one another. But if you are seeking something concerning other things, it shall be settled in the lawful church. For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar. And having said these things, he dismissed the church. After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into Macedonia. And having come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came into Greece; and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to return through Macedonia. And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him; and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas; and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent seven days. And on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his discourse till midnight: and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled. Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him: and having come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed. And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly. But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, himself being about to go on foot. And when he met us at Assos, taking him up, we came to Mitylene. And thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into Miletus. For Paul decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church. And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time, serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews: how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house, witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it: except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me. But I consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more. Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men; for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock; and men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them. Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears. And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified. I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one; you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me. I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. And having said these things, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed. And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously, being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar. And having said these things, he dismissed the church. After the uproar ceased, Paul, having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, bidding them adieu, departed to go into Macedonia. And having come through those regions, and exhorted them with much speaking, he came into Greece; and having remained three months, a plot rising against him from the Jews, when about to sail for Syria, he was of a mind to return through Macedonia. And Sopater the (son) of Pyrrhus, the Berean, and Aristarchus, the Thessalonian, and Secundus; and Gaius the Derbean, and Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus the Asiatics, accompanied him; and these having gone in advance, awaited us in Troas; and we, after the days of unleaven bread, sailed from Philippi, and came to them into Troas within five days; where we spent seven days. And on the first of the Sabbaths we being assembled to break bread, Paul spoke to them, being about to depart the following day, and continued his discourse till midnight: and there were many lamps in the upper room, where we were assembled. Paul speaking more prolixly, there was a certain young man, Eutychus by name, sitting in the window, being borne down with deep sleep, completely relaxed by sleep, fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead. And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him: and having come up, and broken the bread, and eaten, and talking a long time, until daydawn, thus he departed. And they led up the boy alive, and were comforted exceedingly. But we, having come in advance to the ship, embarked for Assos, thence being about to take up Paul, for he had so commanded us, himself being about to go on foot. And when he met us at Assos, taking him up, we came to Mitylene. And thence having sailed away on the following day we arrived opposite Chios; and on the following day we touched at Samos, and on the next day we came into Miletus. For Paul decided to sail by Ephesus, in order that it might not be necessary for him to spend the time in Asia: for he was hastening, if it might be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. And having sent from Miletus into Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church. And when they came to him, he said to them, You know, that from the first day from which I came unto Asia, how I was with you all the time, serving the Lord with all humility, and tears, and temptations, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews: how I omitted nothing of those things which are profitable, that I should not declare unto you and teach you publicly and from house to house, witnessing both to Jews, and to Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I go to Jerusalem bound in spirit, not knowing the things which shall come upon me in it: except that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesses to me, saying that bonds and tribulations await me. But I consider my life worthy of no consideration to myself, so as to finish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I came preaching the gospel of the kingdom, shall see my face no more. Therefore I witness to you this clay, that I am pure from the blood of all men; for I did not shrink to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed to yourselves, and all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has placed you shepherds, to shepherdise the church of God, which He bought with His own blood. I know, that after my departure grievous wolves will rise up against you, not sparing the flock; and men from you yourselves will rise up, speaking perverse things, in order to lead away disciples after them. Watch therefore, remembering, that three years night and day I ceased not admonishing you with tears. And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace, who is able to edify you, and give you an inheritance among all the sanctified. I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one; you yourselves know, that these hands did minister to my necessities, and those along with me. I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. And having said these things, putting down his knees along with them all, he prayed. And the weeping of all was great, and falling on the neck of Paul, they continued to kiss him copiously, being especially grieved at the word which he had spoken, that they were about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
and he began to preach boldly in the synagogue. But Priscilla and Aquila, having heard him, took him to themselves, and expounded unto him the way of the Lord more perfectly. And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brethren having sent him forth wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, being present, conferred much on those having believed through grace. For he vehemently argued down the Jews, publicly, showing through the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples, and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given). And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John. And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on the one coming after him, that is Jesus. And they, having heard, were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus; and Paul having laid his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy. And they were all about twelve men. And having come into the synagogue, he preached boldly three months, expounding and persuading them as to the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when some were becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding in the school of Tyrannus. And this took place two years; so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. And God was working great miracles through the hands of Paul; so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them. And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching. And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this. But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you? And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified; and many of those having believed came, confessing, and renouncing their practices. And many of those practicing curious arts, having brought their books, burnt them before all: and they estimated the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. Thus the word of the Lord increased and accumulated strength according to His power. And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome. And having sent two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, himself spent the time in Asia. And at that time there was no small commotion concerning the way. For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing no small gain to the mechanics, whom having assembled and the laborers about such things, he said, Men, you know that it is from this work that prosperity is to us: and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands. And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships. And hearing and being filled with rage, they continued to cry out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the city was filled with commotion: and they rushed of one accord into the theatre, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, the companions of Paul. And Paul wishing to go in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not; and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre. Then indeed they continued to cry out some one thing, and some another: for the church was confused; and the most of them did not know on account of what they had come together. And some from the crowd forced in Alexander, the Jews precipitating him forward; and Alexander, beckoning with his hand, wished to apologize to the people. But recognizing that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying out about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the city clerk having dismissed the multitudes, said, Ephesian men, for what one of men is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the statue having fallen down from Jupiter? Therefore these things being unquestionable, it is necessary that you become calm, and do nothing rashly. For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess. If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead one another. But if you are seeking something concerning other things, it shall be settled in the lawful church. For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar.

Repentance » Who baptized with the baptism of repentance
In those days comes John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand. This is the one, who is spoken of by Isaiah the prophet saying, The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight His paths. read more.
And the same John had his raiment from camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the region about the Jordan, were coming out to him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance; and think not to say among yourselves; We have Abraham, our father; for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. But already the ax is laid to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but there is One coming after me more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire.
