John the Baptist Prepares the Way

3In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,G1161G1722G4003G2094G2231G5086G2541G4194G4091G2230G2449G2532G2264G5075G1056G1161G846G80G5376G5075G2484G2532G5561G5139G2532G3078G5075G9 2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.G452G2532G2533G1909G749G4487G2316G1096G1909G2491G5207G2197G1722G2048 3And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.G2532G2064G1519G3956G4066G2446G2784G908G3341G1519G859G266 4As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "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 shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways,G3956G5327G2071G4137G2532G3956G3735G2532G1015G5013G2532G4646G1519G2117G2532G5138G3598G1519G3006 6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"G2532G3956G4561G3700G4992G2316 7He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?G3767G3004G3793G1607G907G5259G846G1081G2191G5101G5263G5213G5343G575G3709G3195 8Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.G4160G3767G2590G514G3341G2532G756G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G11 9Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."G1161G2235G2532G513G2749G4314G4491G1186G3956G1186G3767G4160G3361G4160G2570G2590G1581G2532G906G1519G4442 10And the crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?"G2532G3793G1905G846G3004G5101G4160G3767 11And he answered them, "Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise."G611G1161G3004G846G2192G1417G5509G3330G2192G3361G2532G2192G1033G4160G3668 12Tax 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 you are authorized to do."G1161G2036G4314G846G4238G3367G4119G3844G1299G5213 14Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages."G1161G4754G2532G1905G846G3004G2532G5101G2249G4160G2532G2036G4314G846G1286G3367G3366G4811G2532G714G5216G3800 15As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ,G1161G2992G4328G2532G3956G1260G1722G846G2588G4012G2491G3379G846G1498G5547G3379 16John answered them all, saying, "I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.G2491G611G3004G537G1473G3303G907G5209G5204G1161G2478G3450G2064G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G3089G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G4442 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G4621G1519G846G596G1161G892G2618G4442G762 18So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.G2532G3767G4183G2087G4183G3303G3870G2097G2992 19But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,G1161G2264G5076G1651G5259G846G4012G2266G846G80G5376G1135G2532G4012G3956G4190G3739G2264G4160 20added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.G4369G2532G5124G1909G3956G2532G2623G2491G1722G5438 21Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,G1161G537G2992G1722G907G1096G2424G2532G907G2532G4336G3772G455 22and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."G2532G40G4151G2597G4984G1491G5616G4058G1909G846G2532G5456G1096G1537G3772G3004G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G4671G2106
