C.R.P. Day 277 - Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3

John the Baptist is baptizing people in the Jordan. He wears a belt around his waist and wear’s camel hair. He eats locust and honey. Many suspect that he is Jesus Christ but he tells the people that he is not. He only comes to baptize with water but one is coming that will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. He baptizes Jesus knowing that he’s not worthy to baptize Him. After Jesus is baptized by John, he immediately taken in to the Wilderness, for 40 days, and he’s tempted by Satan; He walks by the Sea of Galilee and see’s Andrew and Simon and asks them to follow Him and they do. Then he sees James and John the son’s of Zebedee and asks them to follow Him and they do also. They go to Capernaum ,on Sabbath, Jesus teaches in the synagogue and there astounded at his teaching. He casts out the unclean spirit found in the man; He heals Peter’s mother-in-law from fever; He preached throughout Galilee and he cleansed the leper; Pontius Pilate is the governor of Judea; Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests; John the Baptist is preaching to the people. He tells the people if you have 2 tunics and there is one with none then give a tunic to the one, likewise with food. He tells the tax collectors to collect no more than what is appointed to you. He tells the soldiers to not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely and be content with your wages. John baptizes Jesus. Jesus’ genealogy back to Adam is established.
