The Proclamation of John the Baptist

3In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene,G1161G1722G4003G2094G2231G5086G2541G4194G4091G2230G2449G2532G2264G5075G1056G1161G846G80G5376G5075G2484G2532G5561G5139G2532G3078G5075G9 2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.G452G2532G2533G1909G749G4487G2316G1096G1909G2491G5207G2197G1722G2048 3He 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 the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying out 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 be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth;G3956G5327G2071G4137G2532G3956G3735G2532G1015G5013G2532G4646G1519G2117G2532G5138G3598G1519G3006 6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"G2532G3956G4561G3700G4992G2316 7John said 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 worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.G4160G3767G2590G514G3341G2532G756G3361G3004G1722G1438G2192G11G3962G1063G3004G5213G3754G2316G1410G1537G5130G3037G1453G5043G11 9Even now the ax is lying at 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 should we do?"G2532G3793G1905G846G3004G5101G4160G3767 11In reply he said to them, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise."G611G1161G3004G846G2192G1417G5509G3330G2192G3361G2532G2192G1033G4160G3668 12Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, "Teacher, what should we do?"G1161G2064G2532G5057G907G2532G2036G4314G846G1320G5101G4160 13He said to them, "Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you."G1161G2036G4314G846G4238G3367G4119G3844G1299G5213 14Soldiers also asked him, "And we, what should we do?" He said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages."G1161G4754G2532G1905G846G3004G2532G5101G2249G4160G2532G2036G4314G846G1286G3367G3366G4811G2532G714G5216G3800 15As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,G1161G2992G4328G2532G3956G1260G1722G846G2588G4012G2491G3379G846G1498G5547G3379 16John answered all of them by saying, "I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.G2491G611G3004G537G1473G3303G907G5209G5204G1161G2478G3450G2064G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G3089G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151G2532G4442 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."G3739G4425G1722G846G5495G2532G1245G846G257G2532G4863G4621G1519G846G596G1161G892G2618G4442G762 18So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.G2532G3767G4183G2087G4183G3303G3870G2097G2992 19But Herod the ruler, who had been rebuked by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil things that Herod had done,G1161G2264G5076G1651G5259G846G4012G2266G846G80G5376G1135G2532G4012G3956G4190G3739G2264G4160 20added to them all by shutting up John in prison.G4369G2532G5124G1909G3956G2532G2623G2491G1722G5438

The Baptism of Jesus

21Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened,G1161G537G2992G1722G907G1096G2424G2532G907G2532G4336G3772G455 22and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased."G2532G40G4151G2597G4984G1491G5616G4058G1909G846G2532G5456G1096G1537G3772G3004G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G4671G2106
