3IN THE fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar's reign--when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene--G1161G1722G4003G2094G2231G5086G2541G4194G4091G2230G2449G2532G2264G5075G1056G1161G846G80G5376G5075G2484G2532G5561G5139G2532G3078G5075G9 2In the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the Word of God [concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God] came to John son of Zachariah in the wilderness (desert).G452G2532G2533G1909G749G4487G2316G1096G1909G2491G5207G2197G1722G2048 3And he went into all the country round about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance (of hearty amending of their ways, with abhorrence of past wrongdoing) unto the forgiveness of sin.G2532G2064G1519G3956G4066G2446G2784G908G3341G1519G859G266 4As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness [shouting in the desert]: Prepare the way of the Lord, make His beaten paths straight.G5613G1125G1722G976G3056G2268G4396G3004G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G2117 5Every valley {and} ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be leveled; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough roads shall be made smooth;G3956G5327G2071G4137G2532G3956G3735G2532G1015G5013G2532G4646G1519G2117G2532G5138G3598G1519G3006 6And all mankind shall see (behold and understand and at last acknowledge) the salvation of God (the deliverance from eternal death decreed by God).G2532G3956G4561G3700G4992G2316 7So he said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, You offspring of vipers! Who secretly warned you to flee from the coming wrath?G3767G3004G3793G1607G907G5259G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G3195 8Bear fruits that are deserving {and} consistent with [your] repentance [that is, conduct worthy of a heart changed, a heart abhorring sin]. And do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up descendants for Abraham.G4160G3767G2590G514G3341G2532G756G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G11 9Even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees, so that every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3956G1186G3767G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G4442 10And the multitudes asked him, Then what shall we do?G2532G3793G1905G846G3004G5101G4160G3767 11And he replied to them, He who has two tunics (undergarments), let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do it the same way.G611G1161G3004G846G2192G1417G5509G3330G2192G3361G2532G2192G1033G4160G3668 12Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?G1161G2064G2532G5057G907G2532G2036G4314G846G1320G5101G4160 13And he said to them, Exact {and} collect no more than the fixed amount appointed you.G1161G2036G4314G846G4238G3367G4119G3844G1299G5213 14Those serving as soldiers also asked him, And we, what shall we do? And he replied to them, Never demand {or} enforce by terrifying people or by accusing wrongfully, and always be satisfied with your rations (supplies) {and} with your allowance (wages).G1161G4754G2532G1905G846G3004G2532G5101G2249G4160G2532G2036G4314G846G1286G3367G3366G4811G2532G714G5216G3800 15As the people were in suspense {and} waiting expectantly, and everybody reasoned {and} questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether he perhaps might be the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).G1161G2992G4328G2532G3956G1260G1722G846G2588G4012G2491G3379G846G1498G5547G3379 16John answered them all by saying, I baptize you with water; but He Who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of Whose sandals I am not fit to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.G2491G611G3004G537G1473G3303G907G5209G5204G1161G2478G3450G2064G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G3089G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G4442 17His winnowing shovel (fork) is in His hand to thoroughly clear {and} cleanse His [threshing] floor and to gather the wheat {and} store it in His granary, but the chaff He will burn with fire that cannot be extinguished.G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G4621G1519G846G596G1161G892G2618G4442G762 18So with many other [various] appeals and admonitions he preached the good news (the Gospel) to the people.G2532G3767G4183G2087G4183G3303G3870G2097G2992 19But Herod the tetrarch, who had been [repeatedly] told about his fault {and} reproved {with} rebuke producing conviction by [John] for [having] Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the wicked things that Herod had done,G1161G2264G5076G1651G5259G846G4012G2266G846G80G5376G1135G2532G4012G3956G4190G3739G2264G4160 20Added this to them all--that he shut up John in prison.G4369G2532G5124G1909G3956G2532G2623G2491G1722G5438 21Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized, and [while He was still] praying, the [visible] heaven was openedG1161G537G2992G1722G907G1096G2424G2532G907G2532G4336G3772G455 22And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, {saying,} You are My Son, My Beloved! In You I am well pleased {and} find delight!G2532G40G4151G2597G4984G1491G5616G4058G1909G846G2532G5456G1096G1537G3772G3004G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G4671G2106 23Jesus Himself, when He began [His ministry], was about thirty years of age, being the Son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli,G2532G2424G846G756G2258G5616G5144G2094G5607G5613G3543G5207G2501G2242 24The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,G3158G3017G3197G2388G2501 25The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,G3161G301G3486G2069G3477 26The son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,G3092G3161G4584G2501G2455 27The son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,G2490G4488G2216G4528G3518 28The son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,G3197G78G2973G1678G2262 29The son of Jesus, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,G2499G1663G2497G3158G3017 30The son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,G4826G2455G2501G2494G1662 31The son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,G3190G3104G3160G3481G1138 32The son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon (Sala), the son of Nahshon,G2421G5601G1003G4533G3476 33The son of Aminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,G284G689G2074G5329G2455 34The son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,G2384G2464G11G2291G3493 35The son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,G4562G4466G5317G1443G4527 36The son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,G2536G742G4590G3575G2984 37The son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,G3103G1802G2391G3121G2536 38The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.G1800G4589G76G2316
