Giăng Báp-tít Giảng Dạy(A)
3 Năm thứ mười lăm, dưới triều Hoàng Đế Ti-bê-ri, khi Bôn-ti Phi-lát làm thống đốc Giu-đê,[a] Hê-rốt[b] làm vua chư hầu Ga-li-lê, Phi-líp (em Hê-rốt) làm vua chư hầu Y-tu-rê và Tra-cô-nít, Ly-sa-ni làm vua chư hầu A-bi-len,[c] 2 An-ne và Cai-pha,[d] làm trưởng tế, có lời Đức Chúa Trời phán bảo Giăng, con trai Xa-cha-ri, trong đồng hoang. 3 Giăng liền đi khắp các vùng phụ cận sông Giô-đanh và truyền giảng về phép báp-tem ăn năn để được tha tội. 4 Đúng như lời trong sách tiên tri I-sa:
“Có một tiếng kêu trong đồng hoang:
Hãy sửa soạn đường Chúa,
Đắp thẳng các lối Ngài,
5 Mọi thung lũng sẽ lấp cho đầy,
Mọi núi đồi sẽ bị san cho phẳng,
Đường cong quẹo được sửa cho ngay,
Lối gồ ghề phải làm cho bằng;
6 Và cả nhân loại sẽ thấy ơn cứu rỗi của Đức Chúa Trời.”[e]
7 Giăng bảo các đoàn người đến chịu báp-tem: “Hỡi loài rắn độc! Ai đã báo cho các ngươi tránh cơn thịnh nộ sắp tới? 8 Vậy hãy kết quả xứng đáng với sự ăn năn; và đừng tự hào: Áp-ra-ham là tổ phụ chúng ta, vì ta nói cùng các ngươi: Đức Chúa Trời có thể biến những viên đá này thành con cháu Áp-ra-ham! 9 Hiện nay lưỡi rìu đã đặt kề gốc cây; vì thế, bất cứ cây nào không sinh trái tốt sẽ bị đốn và ném vào lửa.”
10 Đoàn dân hỏi Giăng: “Thế thì chúng tôi phải làm gì đây?”
11 Giăng đáp: “Ai có hai chiếc áo, hãy chia cho người không có. Ai có thức ăn, hãy san sẻ cho người thiếu ăn.”[f]
12 Các người thu thuế cũng đến để chịu báp-tem, họ hỏi: “Thưa thầy, chúng tôi phải làm gì?”
13 Giăng đáp: “Đừng lạm thu thuế má!”
14 Các binh sĩ cũng hỏi: “Còn chúng tôi phải làm gì?” Ông đáp: “Đừng tống tiền, hăm dọa hoặc vu cáo ai, nhưng hãy bằng lòng với đồng lương của mình!”
15 Dân chúng đang trông mong và mọi người đều ngẫm nghĩ cân nhắc trong lòng về Giăng: “Phải chăng ông ta là Chúa Cứu Thế?” 16 Giăng giải đáp cho mọi người: “Ta làm báp-tem cho các ngươi bằng nước; nhưng một Đấng quyền lực hơn ta sẽ đến, ta không xứng đáng cởi quai dép Ngài. Ngài sẽ làm báp-tem cho các ngươi bằng Thánh Linh và bằng lửa. 17 Ngài sẽ cầm sàng rê sạch sân đạp lúa mình để chứa lúa vào kho, nhưng sẽ đốt hết trấu trong lửa không hề tắt.”
18 Giăng cũng dùng nhiều lời khuyên bảo khác mà truyền giảng Phúc Âm cho dân chúng. 19 Nhưng vua Hê-rốt bị Giăng quở trách về vụ Hê-rô-đia, em dâu mình, và về mọi điều ác vua đã làm; 20 Vua lại thêm một việc ác nữa là tống giam Giăng vào ngục.
Chúa Giê-su Chịu Báp-tem(B)
21 Khi cả dân chúng đều chịu phép báp-tem, Đức Giê-su cũng chịu báp-tem. Ngài đang cầu nguyện thì bầu trời mở ra, 22 và Thánh Linh trong hình thể giống như chim bồ câu ngự xuống trên Ngài. Có tiếng phán đến từ trời: “Con là Con yêu dấu của Ta. Đẹp lòng Ta hoàn toàn!”
Gia Phả Của Chúa Giê-su(C)
23 Khi bắt đầu chức vụ, Đức Giê-su độ ba mươi tuổi. Người ta cho rằng Ngài là con Giô-sép.

Luke 3
New King James Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 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, 2 [a]while (C)Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to (D)John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 (E)And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance (F)for the remission of sins, 4 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.
5 Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
6 And (H)all flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”
John Preaches to the People(I)
7 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? 8 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. 9 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.
Luke 3
English Standard Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of (A)Tiberius Caesar, (B)Pontius Pilate (C)being governor of Judea, and (D)Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during (E)the high priesthood of Annas and (F)Caiaphas, (G)the word of God came to (H)John the son of Zechariah in (I)the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming (J)a baptism of repentance (K)for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in (L)the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
(M)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(N)‘Prepare the way of the Lord,[a]
make his paths straight.
5 (O)Every valley shall be filled,
(P)and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
(Q)and the crooked shall become straight,
and the rough places shall become level ways,
6 (R)and all flesh shall see (S)the salvation of God.’”
7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, (T)“You brood of (U)vipers! Who warned you to flee from (V)the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruits (W)in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, (X)‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from (Y)these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. (Z)Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 And the crowds asked him, (AA)“What then shall we do?” 11 And he answered them, (AB)“Whoever has two tunics[b] is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12 (AC)Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, (AD)what shall we do?” 13 And he said to them, (AE)“Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, (AF)what shall we do?” And he said to them, (AG)“Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your (AH)wages.”
15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, (AI)whether he might be (AJ)the Christ, 16 (AK)John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but (AL)he who is mightier than I is coming, (AM)the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you (AN)with the Holy Spirit and (AO)fire. 17 His (AP)winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to (AQ)gather the wheat into his barn, (AR)but the chaff he will burn with (AS)unquenchable fire.”
18 So (AT)with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But (AU)Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20 added this to them all, that (AV)he locked up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when (AW)Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, (AX)the heavens were opened, 22 and (AY)the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and (AZ)a voice came from heaven, (BA)“You are my beloved Son;[c] with you I am well pleased.”[d]
