Luke 3:18

16 John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17 His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.

19 But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done,

20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
