Now
in the fifteenth
year
of the reign
of Tiberius
Caesar,
when Pontius
Pilate
was governor
of Judea,
and Herod
was tetrarch
of Galilee,
and his brother
Philip
was tetrarch
of the region
of Ituraea
and Trachonitis,
and Lysanias
was tetrarch
of Abilene,
2
in the high priesthood
of Annas
and Caiaphas,
the word
of God
came
to John,
the son
of Zacharias,
in the wilderness.
3
And he came
into all
the district around
the Jordan,
preaching
a baptism
of repentance
for the forgiveness
of sins;
4
as it is written
in the book
of the words
of Isaiah
the prophet,
"THE VOICE
OF ONE CRYING
IN THE WILDERNESS,
'
MAKE
READY
THE WAY
OF THE LORD,
MAKE
HIS PATHS
STRAIGHT.
5
'
EVERY
RAVINE
WILL BE FILLED,
AND
EVERY
MOUNTAIN
AND HILL
WILL BE BROUGHT LOW;
THE CROOKED
WILL BECOME
STRAIGHT,
AND THE ROUGH
ROADS
SMOOTH;
6
AND ALL
FLESH
WILL SEE
THE SALVATION
OF GOD.'"
7
So
he began saying
to the crowds
who
were going
out to be baptized
by him, "You brood
of vipers,
who
warned
you to flee
from the wrath
to come?
8
"Therefore
bear
fruits
in keeping
with repentance,
and do not begin
to say
to yourselves,
'
We have
Abraham
for our father,'
for I say
to you that from these
stones
God
is able
to raise
up children
to
Abraham
.
9
"Indeed
the axe
is already
laid
at the root
of the
tree
s;
so
every
tree
that does not bear
good
fruit
is cut down
and thrown
into the fire."
10
And the crowds
were questioning
him, saying,
"Then
what
shall we do?"
11
And he would answer
and say
to them, "The man who has
two
tunics
is to share
with him who has
none;
and he who has
food
is to do
likewise."
12
And some tax collectors
also
came
to be baptized,
and they said
to him, "Teacher,
what
shall we do?"
13
And he said
to them, "Collect
no
more
than
what you have been ordered
to."
14
Some soldiers
were questioning
him, saying,
"And what about us, what
shall we do?"
And he said
to them, "Do not take money
from anyone
by f
or
ce,
or
accuse anyone falsely,
and be content
with your wages."
15
Now
while the people
were in a state of expectation
and all
were wondering
in their hearts
about
John,
as to whether
he was the Christ,
16
John
answered
and said
to them all,
"As for me, I baptize
you with water;
but One is coming
who is mightier
than I, and I am
not fit
to untie
the thong
of His sandals;
He will baptize
you with the Holy
Spirit
and fire.
17
"His winnowing fork
is in His hand
to thoroughly clear
His threshing floor,
and to gather
the wheat
into His barn;
but He will burn
up the chaff
with unquenchable
fire."
18
So
with many
other
exhortations
he preached the gospel
to the people.
19
But when
Herod
the tetrarch
was reprimanded
by him because
of
Herod
ias,
his brother's
wife,
and because
of all
the wicked things
which
Herod
had done,
20
Herod also
added
this
to them all:
he locked
John
up in prison.
21
Now
when
all
the people
were
baptized,
Jesus
was also
baptized,
and while He was praying,
heaven
was opened,
22
and the Holy
Spirit
descended
upon Him in bodily
form
like
a dove,
and a voice
came
out of heaven,
"You are My beloved
Son,
in You I am well-pleased."
23
When He began
His ministry, Jesus
Himself
was about
thirty
years of age,
being,
as was supposed,
the son
of Joseph,
the son
of Eli,
24
the son of Matthat,
the son of Levi,
the son of Melchi,
