What, according to the preaching of John, are the cause (v7–9, 16, 17),
nature (v8, 10–14), and outcome (v3, 15–17) of repentance?
照施洗约翰的讲词，悔改的原因（7-9, 16, 17节）、
本质（8, 10-14节）与结果（3, 15-17节）是什么？
What did Jesus’ baptism, and the voice from heaven, mean: (a) to Jesus
himself, and (b) to the others present? Cf. John 1:32–34.
耶稣受洗，和从天上来的声音：(a)对于祂自己，和(b)对当时在场的民众，各有什么意义？比较约1：32-34。
Consider the fearless honesty of John. Note also its result (v19, 20).
试思考施洗约翰那无畏的诚实，也注意其结果（19,20节）
Notes:
v22. The voice combines references to the Old Testament Messianic figures of the Son of God (Ps.2:7) and the suffering Servant of the Lord (Is. 42:1), thus setting the tone of Jesus’ ministry. 22节，
