The Messiah’s Herald
3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea,(A) Herod was tetrarch[a] of Galilee,(B) his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas(C) and Caiaphas,(D) God’s word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.(E) 3 He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan,(F) proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,(G) 4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah:
A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make his paths straight!
5 Every valley will be filled,
and every mountain and hill will be made low;[b]
the crooked will become straight,
the rough ways smooth,
6 and everyone will see the salvation of God.[c](H)
7 He then said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) 8 Therefore produce fruit(K) consistent with repentance. And don’t start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’(L) for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(M)
10 “What then should we do?” (N) the crowds were asking him.
11 He replied to them, “The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”(O)
12 Tax collectors(P) also came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” (Q)
13 He told them, “Don’t collect any more than what you have been authorized.”
14 Some soldiers also questioned him, “What should we do?”
He said to them, “Don’t take money from anyone by force or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”
15 Now the people were waiting expectantly, and all of them were questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah.(R) 16 John answered them all,(S) “I baptize you with water, but one who is more powerful than I am is coming. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing shovel(T) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn,(U) but the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out.”(V) 18 Then, along with many other exhortations, he proclaimed good news to the people. 19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch(W) because of Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the evil things he had done,(X) 20 Herod added this to everything else—he locked up John in prison.(Y)
The Baptism of Jesus
21 When all the people were baptized,(Z) Jesus also was baptized. As he was praying,(AA) heaven opened,(AB) 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well-pleased.”(AC)

Ivan Krstitelj priprema put
3 Bila je petnaesta godina vladavine cara Tiberija. Poncije Pilat bio je upravitelj Judeje, Herod je vladao Galilejom, a njegov brat Filip Iturejom i Trahonitidom. Lizanije je vladao Abilenom.
2 Veliki svećenici bili su Ana i Kajfa. Bog tada progovori Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji.
3 On zatim obiđe svu jordansku okolicu propovijedajući ljudima da se moraju krstiti da pokažu kako su se pokajali za svoje grijehe te da im Bog oprosti.
4 Kao što je napisao prorok Izaija, Ivan je bio
'glas koji viče u pustinji:
"Pripremite put za Gospodnji dolazak!
Poravnajte za njega staze!'
5 Neka se svaka udolina popuni,
a svaka gora i brijeg neka se slegne!
Neka se iskrivljeni putovi isprave,
a neravni izglade!
6 Tada će svi ljudi vidjeti Božje spasenje!'[a]
7 Ivan je govorio mnoštvu koje se dolazilo krstiti: 'Zmijska legla! Tko li vas je samo upozorio da pobjegnete Božjemu gnjevu koji stiže?
8 Dokažite svojim životom i djelima da ste se odvratili od grijeha i obratili Bogu.[b] Ne zavaravajte se da vam je dovoljno reći: "Mi smo Abrahamovi potomci!' jer vam kažem da Bog može i od ovoga kamenja Abrahamu podignuti djecu!
9 Sjekira Božjeg suda već je podignuta da u korijenu pasiječe stabla. Svako stablo koje ne daje dobrog roda bit će posječeno i bačeno u vatru.'
10 Mnoštvo ga nato počne pitati: 'Što trebamo činiti?'
11 'Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim tko nema nijednu. A tko ima hrane, neka je podijeli s onima koji nemaju.';
12 Došli su se krstiti čak i ubirači poreza[c] i upitali: 'Učitelju, što mi moramo činiti?'
13 'Ne utjerujte više
14 'A što mi trebamo činiti?' pitali su ga vojnici.'Ne postupajte ni s kim nasilno,' odgovori on, 'ne optužujte lažno nedužne i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom.'
15 Narod je iščekivao Mesiju i svi su se u srcu pitali nije li možda Ivan taj.
16 Zato im Ivan svima reče: 'Ja vas krstim vodom, no dolazi netko mnogo veći od mene, toliko velik da mu ja nisam dostojan biti ni robom.[d] On će vas krstiti Svetim Duhom i ognjem.
17 Očistit će svoje gumno i odvojiti pljevu od pšenice; pšenicu će spremiti u svoju žitnicu, a pljevu sažeći neugasivim ognjem.'
18 Mnoge je takve opomene Ivan izrekao navješćujući ljudima Radosnu vijest.
19 A Heroda tetrarha Ivan je prekorio zbog toga što je živio sa ženom svojega brata, Herodijadom, te zbog brojnih drugih zlodjela
20 kojima Herod zatim pridoda još i ovo: baci Ivana u tamnicu.
Isusovo krštenje
21 Dok je Ivan krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. Kad se on molio, nebesa se otvore,
22 a Sveti se Duh u tjelesnome obličju goluba spusti na njega. S neba se začuje glas: 'Ti si moj ljubljeni Sin! Ti si moja radost!'

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)(B)
3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate(C) was governor of Judea, Herod(D) tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— 2 during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,(E) the word of God came to John(F) son of Zechariah(G) in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.(H) 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
5 Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
6 And all people will see God’s salvation.’”[a](I)
7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers!(J) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(K) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”(M)
10 “What should we do then?”(N) the crowd asked.
11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”(O)
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized.(P) “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,”(Q) he told them.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”
He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely(R)—be content with your pay.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John(S) might possibly be the Messiah.(T) 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[b] water.(U) But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit and fire.(V) 17 His winnowing fork(W) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(X) 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.
19 But when John rebuked Herod(Y) the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother’s wife, and all the other evil things he had done, 20 Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.(Z)
The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus(AA)(AB)
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying,(AC) heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him(AD) in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(AE) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(AF)
