Matthew 3:11 in Context — Matthew 3

9 E não imagineis, dizendo em vós mesmos: “Temos por pai a Abraão”, porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode fazer surgir filhos a Abraão.

10 E agora mesmoo machado está posto à raiz das árvores; portanto toda árvore que não dá bom fruto é cortada e lançada ao fogo.

11 Realmente eu vos batizo com água para arrependimento, mas aquele que vem após mim é mais poderoso do que eu; suas sandálias não sou digno de levar. Ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.

12 Ele tem sua pá na mão; limpará sua eira, e recolherá seu trigo no celeiro; mas queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.

13 Então Jesus veio da Galileia ao Jordão até João para ser por ele batizado.
