Ang Pangangaral ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)
3 Ikalabinlimang taon noon ng paghahari ni Emperador Tiberio. Si Poncio Pilato ang gobernador sa Judea at si Herodes ang pinuno sa Galilea. Ang kapatid nitong si Felipe ang pinuno sa lupain ng Iturea at Traconite at si Lisanias ang pinuno sa Abilinia. 2 Nang sina Anas at Caifas ang mga pinakapunong pari ng mga Judio, si Juan na anak ni Zacarias ay nakatira sa ilang. Ipinahayag ng Diyos ang kanyang salita kay Juan, 3 kaya't nilibot niya ang mga lupain sa magkabilang panig ng Jordan. Siya'y nangaral, “Pagsisihan at talikuran ninyo ang inyong mga kasalanan at magpabautismo kayo upang kayo'y patawarin ng Diyos.” 4 Sa(B) gayon, natupad ang nakasulat sa aklat ni Propeta Isaias,
“Ito ang pahayag ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang:
‘Ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon.
Gumawa kayo ng mga tuwid na landas na kanyang lalakaran!
5 Matatambakan ang bawat libis,
at mapapatag ang bawat burol at bundok.
Magiging tuwid ang daang liku-liko,
at patag ang daang baku-bako.
6 At makikita ng lahat ng tao ang pagliligtas na gagawin ng Diyos!’”
7 Kaya't(C) sinabi ni Juan sa maraming taong lumapit sa kanya upang magpabautismo, “Kayong lahi ng mga ulupong! Sino ang nagbabala sa inyo upang tumakas sa poot na darating? 8 Ipakita(D) ninyo sa pamamagitan ng gawa na nagsisisi kayo, at huwag ninyong sabihing mga anak kayo ni Abraham. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, mula sa mga batong ito ay makakalikha ang Diyos ng mga tunay na anak ni Abraham. 9 Ngayon(E) pa ma'y nakaamba na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punongkahoy; ang bawat punong hindi mabuti ang bunga ay puputulin at itatapon sa apoy.”
10 Tinanong siya ng mga tao, “Kung gayon, ano po ang dapat naming gawin?”
11 Sumagot siya sa kanila, “Sinumang mayroong dalawang balabal, ibigay mo ang isa sa wala. Gayon din ang gawin ng sinumang may pagkain.”
12 Dumating(F) din ang mga maniningil ng buwis upang magpabautismo. Sila'y nagtanong sa kanya, “Guro, ano po ang dapat naming gawin?”
13 “Huwag kayong sumingil nang higit sa dapat singilin,” tugon niya.
14 Tinanong din siya ng mga kawal, “At kami po naman, ano ang dapat naming gawin?”
“Huwag kayong kukuha ng pera kaninuman nang sapilitan o sa pamamagitan ng hindi makatuwirang paratang, at masiyahan kayo sa inyong sweldo,” sagot niya.
15 Nananabik noon ang mga tao sa pagdating ng Cristo, at inakala nilang si Juan mismo ang kanilang hinihintay. 16 Dahil dito sinabi niya sa kanila, “Binabautismuhan ko kayo sa pamamagitan ng tubig, ngunit ang darating na kasunod ko ay magbabautismo sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu Santo at ng apoy. Siya'y higit na makapangyarihan kaysa akin; ni hindi man lamang ako karapat-dapat na magkalag ng sintas ng kanyang sandalyas. 17 Hawak na niya ang kalaykay upang linisin ang giikan at upang tipunin ang trigo sa kanyang kamalig. Ngunit ang ipa'y susunugin niya sa apoy na di mamamatay kailanman.”
18 Marami pang bagay na ipinapangaral si Juan sa mga tao sa kanyang pamamahayag ng Magandang Balita. 19 Si(G) Herodes man na pinuno ng Galilea ay pinagsabihan din ni Juan dahil kinakasama niya ang kanyang hipag na si Herodias at dahil sa iba pang kasamaang ginagawa nito. 20 Dahil dito'y ipinabilanggo ni Herodes si Juan, at ito'y nadagdag pa sa mga kasalanan ni Herodes.
Binautismuhan si Jesus(H)
21 Nang mabautismuhan na ni Juan ang mga tao, binautismuhan din niya si Jesus. Habang nananalangin si Jesus, nabuksan ang langit 22 at(I) bumabâ sa kanya ang Espiritu Santo sa anyong kalapati. Isang tinig mula sa langit ang nagsabi, “Ikaw ang minamahal kong Anak; lubos kitang kinalulugdan.”

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.
