John the Baptist Prepares the Way

3Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,G1161G1722G4003G2094G2231G5086G2541G4194G4091G2230G2449G2532G2264G5075G1056G1161G846G80G5376G5075G2484G2532G5561G5139G2532G3078G5075G9 2while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.G452G2532G2533G1909G749G4487G2316G1096G1909G2491G5207G2197G1722G2048 3And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,G2532G2064G1519G3956G4066G2446G2784G908G3341G1519G859G266 4as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.G5613G1125G1722G976G3056G2268G4396G3004G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G2117 5Every valley shall be filled And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth;G3956G5327G2071G4137G2532G3956G3735G2532G1015G5013G2532G4646G1519G2117G2532G5138G3598G1519G3006 6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"G2532G3956G4561G3700G4992G2316

John Preaches to the People

7Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?G3767G3004G3793G1607G907G5259G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G3195 8"Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.G4160G3767G2590G514G3341G2532G756G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G11 9"And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3956G1186G3767G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G4442 10So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?"G2532G3793G1905G846G3004G5101G4160G3767 11He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."G611G1161G3004G846G2192G1417G5509G3330G2192G3361G2532G2192G1033G4160G3668 12Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"G1161G2064G2532G5057G907G2532G2036G4314G846G1320G5101G4160 13And he said to them, "Collect no more than what is appointed for you."G1161G2036G4314G846G4238G3367G4119G3844G1299G5213 14Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages."G1161G4754G2532G1905G846G3004G2532G5101G2249G4160G2532G2036G4314G846G1286G3367G3366G4811G2532G714G5216G3800 15Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,G1161G2992G4328G2532G3956G1260G1722G846G2588G4012G2491G3379G846G1498G5547G3379 16John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.G2491G611G3004G537G1473G3303G907G5209G5204G1161G2478G3450G2064G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G3089G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G4442 17"His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G4621G1519G846G596G1161G892G2618G4442G762 18And with many other exhortations he preached to the people.G2532G3767G4183G2087G4183G3303G3870G2097G2992 19But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,G1161G2264G5076G1651G5259G846G4012G2266G846G80G5376G1135G2532G4012G3956G4190G3739G2264G4160 20also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.G4369G2532G5124G1909G3956G2532G2623G2491G1722G5438

John Baptizes Jesus

21When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.G1161G537G2992G1722G907G1096G2424G2532G907G2532G4336G3772G455 22And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."G2532G40G4151G2597G4984G1491G5616G4058G1909G846G2532G5456G1096G1537G3772G3004G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G4671G2106
