Luke 3

3In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar--when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene--G1161G1722G4003G2094G2231G5086G2541G4194G4091G2230G2449G2532G2264G5075G1056G1161G846G80G5376G5075G2484G2532G5561G5139G2532G3078G5075G92during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.G452G2532G2533G1909G749G4487G2316G1096G1909G2491G5207G2197G1722G20483He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.G2532G2064G1519G3956G4066G2446G2784G908G3341G1519G859G2664As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: "A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.G5613G1125G1722G976G3056G2268G4396G3004G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G21175Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.G3956G5327G2071G4137G2532G3956G3735G2532G1015G5013G2532G4646G1519G2117G2532G5138G3598G1519G30066And all mankind will see God's salvation.'"G2532G3956G4561G3700G4992G23167John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?G3767G3004G3793G1607G907G5259G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G31958Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.G4160G3767G2590G514G3341G2532G756G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G119The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3956G1186G3767G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G444210"What should we do then?" the crowd asked.G2532G3793G1905G846G3004G5101G4160G376711John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same."G611G1161G3004G846G2192G1417G5509G3330G2192G3361G2532G2192G1033G4160G366812Tax collectors also came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"G1161G2064G2532G5057G907G2532G2036G4314G846G1320G5101G416013"Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told them.G1161G2036G4314G846G4238G3367G4119G3844G1299G521314Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?" He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely--be content with your pay."G1161G4754G2532G1905G846G3004G2532G5101G2249G4160G2532G2036G4314G846G1286G3367G3366G4811G2532G714G5216G380015The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Christ.G1161G2992G4328G2532G3956G1260G1722G846G2588G4012G2491G3379G846G1498G5547G337916John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.G2491G611G3004G537G1473G3303G907G5209G5204G1161G2478G3450G2064G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G3089G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G444217His 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."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G4621G1519G846G596G1161G892G2618G4442G76218And with many other words John exhorted the people and preached the good news to them.G2532G3767G4183G2087G4183G3303G3870G2097G299219But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the other evil things he had done,G1161G2264G5076G1651G5259G846G4012G2266G846G80G5376G1135G2532G4012G3956G4190G3739G2264G416020Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.G4369G2532G5124G1909G3956G2532G2623G2491G1722G543821When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was openedG1161G537G2992G1722G907G1096G2424G2532G907G2532G4336G3772G45522and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."G2532G40G4151G2597G4984G1491G5616G4058G1909G846G2532G5456G1096G1537G3772G3004G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G4671G210623Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli,G2532G2424G846G756G2258G5616G5144G2094G5607G5613G3543G5207G2501G224224the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,G3158G3017G3197G2388G250125the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,G3161G301G3486G2069G347726the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,G3092G3161G4584G2501G245527the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,G2490G4488G2216G4528G351828the son of Melki, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,G3197G78G2973G1678G226229the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,G2499G1663G2497G3158G301730the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,G4826G2455G2501G2494G166231the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,G3190G3104G3160G3481G113832the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,G2421G5601G1003G4533G347633the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,G284G689G2074G5329G245534the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,G2384G2464G11G2291G349335the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,G4562G4466G5317G1443G452736the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,G2536G742G4590G3575G298437the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Kenan,G3103G1802G2391G3121G253638the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.G1800G4589G76G2316

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
