Ang Pangangaral ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)

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; 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. Tinungo niya ang buong lupain sa palibot ng Jordan upang ipangaral ang bautismo ng pagsisisi para sa kapatawaran ng kasalanan. 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.
Tatambakan ang bawat lambak,
    at papatagin ang bawat bundok at burol.
Itutuwid ang likong daan,
    at papatagin ang daang lubak-lubak.
At makikita ng lahat ng tao ang pagliligtas ng Diyos.’ ”

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? 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. 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.”

Ang mga Ninuno ni Jesus(C)

23 Si Jesus ay magtatatlumpung taong gulang nang magsimula sa kanyang gawain. Siya ay anak ni Jose, tulad ng akala ng marami. Si Jose ay anak naman ni Eli, 24 na anak ni Matat, na anak ni Levi, na anak ni Melqui, na anak ni Janai, na anak ni Jose, 25 na anak ni Matatias, na anak ni Amos, na anak ni Nahum, na anak ni Esli, na anak ni Nagai, 26 na anak ni Maat, na anak ni Matatias, na anak ni Semein, na anak ni Josec, na anak ni Joda, 27 na anak ni Joanan, na anak ni Resa, na anak ni Zerubabel, na anak ni Salatiel, na anak ni Neri, 28 na anak ni Melqui, na anak ni Adi, na anak ni Cosam, na anak ni Elmadam, na anak ni Er, 29 na anak ni Josue, na anak ni Eliezer, na anak ni Jorim, na anak ni Matat, na anak ni Levi, 30 na anak ni Simeon, na anak ni Juda, na anak ni Jose, na anak ni Jonam, na anak ni Eliakim, 31 na anak ni Melea, na anak ni Mena, na anak ni Matata, na anak ni Natan, na anak ni David, 32 na anak ni Jesse, na anak ni Obed, na anak ni Boaz, na anak ni Salmon, na anak ni Naason, 33 na anak ni Aminadab, na anak ni Admin, na anak ni Arni, na anak ni Hesrom, na anak ni Perez, na anak ni Juda, 34 na anak ni Jacob, na anak ni Isaac, na anak ni Abraham, na anak ni Terah, na anak ni Nahor, 35 na anak ni Serug, na anak ni Reu, na anak ni Peleg, na anak ni Eber, na anak ni Sala, 36 na anak ni Cainan, na anak ni Arfaxad, na anak ni Sem, na anak ni Noe, na anak ni Lamec, 37 na anak ni Matusalem, na anak ni Enoc, na anak ni Jared, na anak ni Mahalaleel, na anak ni Cainan, 38 na anak ni Enos, na anak ni Set, na anak ni Adan, na anak ng Diyos.

  1. Lucas 3:1 Sa Griyego, tetrarka.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, (B)Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, [a]while (C)Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to (D)John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. (E)And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance (F)for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:

(G)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.
Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
And (H)all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”

John Preaches to the People(I)

Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, (J)“Brood[b] of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits (K)worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore (L)every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

10 So the people asked him, saying, (M)“What shall we do then?”

11 He answered and said to them, (N)“He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, (O)let him do likewise.”

12 Then (P)tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”

13 And he said to them, (Q)“Collect no more than what is appointed for you.”

14 Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, “And what shall we do?”

So he said to them, “Do not [c]intimidate anyone (R)or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”

15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, 16 John answered, saying to all, (S)“I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will (T)baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and (U)gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”

18 And with many other exhortations he preached to the people. 19 (V)But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his [d]brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 20 also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.

John Baptizes Jesus(W)

21 When all the people were baptized, (X)it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. 22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am (Y)well pleased.”

The Genealogy of Jesus Christ(Z)

23 Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at (AA)about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) (AB)the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, 27 the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of (AC)Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of (AD)Nathan, (AE)the son of David, 32 (AF)the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, (AG)the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, 36 (AH)the son of Cainan, the son of (AI)Arphaxad, (AJ)the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, (AK)the son of God.

  4. Luke 3:19 NU brother’s wife

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,

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

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.

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;

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

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?

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.

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.
