Lucas 3
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Pangangaral ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)
3 Nang ikalabinlimang taon ng paghahari ni Emperador Tiberio, habang si Poncio Pilato ang gobernador ng Judea, si Herodes ang pinuno[a] ng Galilea, si Felipe na kanyang kapatid ang pinuno ng Iturea at Traconite, at si Lysanias naman ang pinuno ng Abilinia; 2 at sina Anas at Caifas naman ang mga Kataas-taasang Pari, dumating ang salita ng Diyos sa anak ni Zacarias na si Juan na nasa ilang. 3 Tinungo niya ang buong lupain sa palibot ng Jordan upang ipangaral ang bautismo ng pagsisisi para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan. 4 Gaya ng nasusulat sa aklat ni propetang si Isaias,
“Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw sa ilang,
‘Ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon,
tuwirin ninyo ang kanyang mga landas.
5 Tatambakan ang bawat lambak,
at papatagin ang bawat bundok at burol.
Itutuwid ang likong daan,
at papatagin ang daang lubak-lubak.
6 At makikita ng lahat ng tao ang pagliligtas ng Diyos.’ ”
7 Sinabi ni Juan sa maraming mga taong nagdatingan upang magpabautismo sa kanya, “Mga anak ng ulupong! Sino ang nagbabala sa inyo na tumakas sa darating na poot? 8 Kaya mamunga kayo ng mga bungang karapat-dapat sa pagsisisi. Huwag ninyong sabihin sa isa't isa, ‘Ama namin si Abraham.’ Sinasabi ko sa inyo na mula sa mga batong ito ay kaya ng Diyos na lumikha ng mga anak para kay Abraham. 9 Ngayon pa man ay nakaamba na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punongkahoy. Pinuputol ang bawat punongkahoy na hindi nagbubunga ng mabuti at itinatapon sa apoy.” 10 Kaya't tinanong siya ng maraming tao, “Ano ngayon ang kailangan naming gawin?” 11 At pagsagot ay sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ang may dalawang damit panloob ay bigyan ang wala at ang may pagkain ay gayon din ang gawin.” 12 May mga nagdatingan ding mga maniningil ng buwis na magpapabautismo na nagsabi sa kanya, “Guro, ano ang nararapat naming gawin?” 13 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong sumingil nang labis sa ipinag-uutos sa inyo.” 14 Nagtanong din sa kanya ang mga kawal, “At kami naman, ano naman ang dapat naming gawin?” At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag kayong mangikil ni magbintang nang mali. Makuntento kayo sa inyong sinasahod.” 15 Dahil sa pananabik ng mga tao, nagtatanungan sila kung si Juan na nga ba ang Cristo. 16 Sinagot silang lahat ni Juan, “Binabautismuhan ko nga kayo sa tubig, ngunit may darating na higit na makapangyarihan kaysa akin. Hindi ako karapat-dapat na magkalag man lang ng kanyang sandalyas. Siya ang magbabautismo sa inyo sa Banal na Espiritu at apoy. 17 Nasa kanyang kamay ang kalaykay upang linisin nang husto ang kanyang giikan at tipunin ang trigo sa kanyang kamalig; subalit ang ipa ay kanyang susunugin sa apoy na hindi maaápula.” 18 Kaya nga't ipinangaral niya ang marami at iba't ibang bagay sa paghahayag ng mabuting balita. 19 Subalit si Herodes na pinuno, dahil siya'y napagsabihan ni Juan tungkol kay Herodias na asawa ng kanyang kapatid at tungkol sa lahat ng mga masasamang ginawa ni Herodes, 20 idinagdag pa sa lahat ng ito nang ipinakulong niya si Juan sa bilangguan.
Binautismuhan si Jesus(B)
21 Nang mabautismuhan na ang lahat ng tao, binautismuhan din si Jesus. Habang siya ay nananalangin, nabuksan ang langit 22 at bumaba sa kanya ang Banal na Espiritu sa anyo ng isang kalapati. Sinabi ng isang tinig mula sa langit, “Ikaw ang pinakamamahal kong anak. Sa iyo ako lubos na nalulugod.”

Luke 3
King James Version
3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
