施洗约翰(A)

凯撒提庇留执政第十五年,本丢.彼拉多作犹太总督,希律作加利利的分封王,他兄弟腓力作以土利亚和特拉可尼地区的分封王,吕撒尼亚作亚比利尼的分封王, 亚那和该亚法作大祭司的时候, 神的话临到撒迦利亚的儿子,在旷野的约翰。 他就来到约旦河一带地方,宣讲悔改的洗礼,使罪得赦。 正如以赛亚先知的书上写着:

“在旷野有呼喊者的声音:

‘预备主的道,

修直他的路!

一切洼谷都当填满,

大小山冈都要削平!

弯弯曲曲的改为正直,

高高低低的修成平坦!

所有的人都要看见 神的救恩。’”

约翰对那出来要受他洗礼的群众说:“毒蛇所生的啊,谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢? 应当结出果子来,与悔改的心相称;你们心里不要说:‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来。 现在斧头已经放在树根上,所有不结好果子的树,就砍下来,丢在火里。” 10 群众问他:“那么,我们该作甚么呢?” 11 他回答:“有两件衣服的,当分给那没有的,有食物的也当照样作。” 12 又有税吏来要受洗,问他:“老师,我们当作甚么呢?” 13 他说:“除了规定的以外,不可多收。” 14 兵丁也问他:“至于我们,我们又应当作甚么呢?”他说:“不要恐吓,不要敲诈,当以自己的粮饷为满足。”

15 那时众人正在期待,人人心里都在猜想会不会约翰就是基督。 16 约翰对众人说:“我用水给你们施洗,但那能力比我更大的要来,我就是给他解鞋带都没有资格。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 17 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净麦场,把麦子收进仓里,却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。” 18 他还用许多别的话劝勉众人,向他们传福音。 19 分封王希律,因他弟弟的妻子希罗底,并因他自己所行的一切恶事,受到约翰的责备。 20 他在这一切事以外,再加上一件,就是把约翰关在监里。

耶稣受洗(B)

21 众人受了洗,耶稣也受了洗。他正在祷告,天就开了, 22 圣灵仿佛鸽子,有形体地降在他身上;有声音从天上来,说:“你是我的爱子,我喜悦你。”

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was ruler[a] over Galilee; his brother Philip was ruler[b] over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene. Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness. Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. Isaiah had spoken of John when he said,

“He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming!
    Clear the road for him!
The valleys will be filled,
    and the mountains and hills made level.
The curves will be straightened,
    and the rough places made smooth.
And then all people will see
    the salvation sent from God.’”[c]

When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee the coming wrath? Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”

10 The crowds asked, “What should we do?”

11 John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”

12 Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?”

13 He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.”

14 “What should we do?” asked some soldiers.

John replied, “Don’t extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”

15 Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah. 16 John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you with[d] water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.[e] 17 He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.” 18 John used many such warnings as he announced the Good News to the people.

19 John also publicly criticized Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee,[f] for marrying Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for many other wrongs he had done. 20 So Herod put John in prison, adding this sin to his many others.

The Baptism of Jesus

21 One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.[g]
