“Now when the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard, that Jesus made and baptized more disciples then John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not: but his disciples) He [Jesus] left Judea, and departed again into Galilee” (John 4:1-3 [1587 Geneva Version].  Father, you are not the author of confusion. Two previous verses read that Jesus baptized, yet this […]

“Then there arose a question between John’s disciples and the Jews, about purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, ‘Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jorden, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptizes, and all men come to him’” (John 3:25, 26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, some of us have heard […]

“John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized (for John had not yet been put in prison)” (John 3:23, 24 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You make it plain here that when one is baptized it is a dunking into the water. Thank You for […]

“After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing” (John 3:22 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Your Son is God come down from heaven to take away the sins of those who believe and trust in You. In Christ’s holy name we are joyful. Hallelujah~

“There was now a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, ‘Rabbi, we know ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.’ Jesus answered, & said unto […]

“So John bare record, saying, ‘I beheld that Spirit come down from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him [Christ], And I knew him not: but he [Father God] that sent me to baptize with water, he said vnto me, ‘Upon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come down, and tarry still on him, that is he […]

“This is he [Lamb of God] of whom I [John the Baptist] said, ‘After me cometh a man, which was before me: for he was better then I.’ And I knew him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water” (John 1:30, 31 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please help us to remember […]

“Now they which were sent, were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him, ‘Why baptizes thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet?’ John answered them, saying, ‘I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not” (John 1:24-26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, […]

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus. For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ” (Galations 3:25-27 1587 Geneva Version). Father, help us to never forget Your perfect plan as we share the […]

“I feare least when I come againe, my God abase [humiliate] me among you, and I shall bewaile [make to cry] many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed” (2 Corinthians 12:21 1587 Geneva Version).  Father in Heaven, this is proof […]
