施洗约翰在旷野传道

恺撒提庇留在位第十五年,本丢·彼拉多犹太巡抚,希律加利利分封的王,他的兄弟腓力以土利亚特拉可尼地方分封的王,吕撒聂亚比利尼分封的王, 亚那该亚法做大祭司。那时,撒迦利亚的儿子约翰在旷野里,神的话临到他。 他就来到约旦河一带地方,宣讲悔改的洗礼,使罪得赦。 正如先知以赛亚书上所记的话说:“在旷野有人声喊着说:‘预备主的道,修直他的路! 一切山洼都要填满,大小山冈都要削平,弯弯曲曲的地方要改为正直,高高低低的道路要改为平坦。 凡有血气的,都要见神的救恩。’”

约翰对那出来要受他洗的众人说:“毒蛇的种类!谁指示你们逃避将来的愤怒呢? 你们要结出果子来,与悔改的心相称!不要自己心里说:‘有亚伯拉罕为我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们,神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起子孙来。 现在斧子已经放在树根上,凡不结好果子的树就砍下来,丢在火里。” 10 众人问他说:“这样,我们当做什么呢?” 11 约翰回答说:“有两件衣裳的,就分给那没有的,有食物的也当这样行。” 12 又有税吏来要受洗,问他说:“夫子,我们当做什么呢?” 13 约翰说:“除了例定的数目,不要多取。” 14 又有兵丁问他说:“我们当做什么呢?”约翰说:“不要以强暴待人,也不要讹诈人,自己有钱粮就当知足。”

必有圣灵与火的洗

15 百姓指望基督来的时候,人都心里猜疑或者约翰是基督。 16 约翰说:“我是用水给你们施洗。但有一位能力比我更大的要来,我就是给他解鞋带也不配,他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 17 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净他的场,把麦子收在仓里,把糠用不灭的火烧尽了。”

约翰责备希律被囚

18 约翰又用许多别的话劝百姓,向他们传福音。 19 只是分封的王希律因他兄弟之妻希罗底的缘故,并因他所行的一切恶事,受了约翰的责备, 20 又另外添了一件,就是把约翰收在监里。

耶稣受洗

21 众百姓都受了洗,耶稣也受了洗,正祷告的时候天就开了, 22 圣灵降临在他身上,形状仿佛鸽子;又有声音从天上来说:“你是我的爱子,我喜悦你。”

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。”

In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar’s reign—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene—

In the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the Word of God [[a]concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God] came to John son of Zachariah in the wilderness (desert).

And he went into all the country round about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance ([b]of hearty amending of their ways, with abhorrence of past wrongdoing) unto the forgiveness of sin.

As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness [shouting in the desert]: Prepare the way of the Lord, make His beaten paths straight.

Every valley and ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be leveled; and the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough roads shall be made smooth;

And all mankind shall see (behold and [c]understand and at last acknowledge) the salvation of God (the deliverance from eternal death [d]decreed by God).(A)

So he said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, You offspring of vipers! Who [e]secretly warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

Bear fruits that are deserving and consistent with [your] repentance [that is, [f]conduct worthy of a heart changed, a heart abhorring sin]. And do not begin to say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up descendants for Abraham.

Even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees, so that every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

10 And the multitudes asked him, Then what shall we do?

11 And he replied to them, He who has two tunics (undergarments), let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do it the same way.

12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?

13 And he said to them, Exact and collect no more than the fixed amount appointed you.

14 Those serving as soldiers also asked him, And we, what shall we do? And he replied to them, Never demand or enforce [g]by terrifying people or by accusing wrongfully, and always be satisfied with your rations (supplies) and with your allowance (wages).

15 As the people were in suspense and waiting expectantly, and everybody reasoned and questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether he perhaps might be the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

16 John answered them all by saying, I baptize you with water; but He Who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of Whose sandals I am not fit to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

17 His winnowing shovel (fork) is in His hand to thoroughly clear and cleanse His [threshing] floor and to gather the wheat and store it in His granary, but the chaff He will burn with fire that cannot be extinguished.

18 So with many other [various] appeals and admonitions he preached the good news (the Gospel) to the people.

19 But Herod the tetrarch, who had been [repeatedly] told about his fault and reproved with rebuke [h]producing conviction by [John] for [having] Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the wicked things that Herod had done,

20 Added this to them all—that he shut up John in prison.

21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized, and [while He was still] praying, the [visible] heaven was opened

22 And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are My Son, My Beloved! In You I am well pleased and find delight!(B)

23 Jesus Himself, when He began [His ministry], was about thirty years of age, being the Son, as was supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli,

24 The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

25 The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,

26 The son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

27 The son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of 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 Elmadam, the son of Er,

29 The son of Jesus, 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 Jonam, the son of Eliakim,

31 The son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

32 The son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon (Sala), the son of Nahshon,

33 The son of Aminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, 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, 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 The son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, 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 Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,

38 The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.(C)
