Matthew 3:2

2and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

2“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

2“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

2“3:2 Jews believed they would automatically be granted entrance into the Messianic kingdom, so this new teaching that repentance was required was very difficult to accept.Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

2and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

2He said, “Turn away from your sins! The kingdom of heaven has come near.”
