3 Tani në vitin e pesëmbëdhjetë të mbretërimit të Tiberit Cezar, kur Ponc Pilati ishte qeveritari i Judesë, Herodi tetrarku i Galilesë, i vëllai, Filipi, tetrarku i Itureas dhe i krahinës së Trakonitidës dhe Lizania tetrarku i Abilenës,
2 nën kryepriftërinjtë Ana dhe Kajfa, fjala e Perëndisë iu drejtua Gjonit, birit të Zakarias, në shkretëtirë.
3 Atëherë ai e përshkoi gjithë krahinën përreth Jordanit, duke predikuar një pagëzim pendimi për faljen e mëkateve,
4 ashtu siç është shkruar në librin e fjalëve të profetit Isaia, që thotë: “Ja zëri i njërit që bërtet në shkretirë: Përgatitni udhën e Zotit, drejtoni shtigjet e tij!
5 Çdo luginë të jetë e mbushur dhe çdo mal e kodër të jetë sheshuar; vendet dredha-dredha të drejtohen dhe rrugët e vështira të sheshohen
6 dhe çdo mish do të shohë shpëtimin e Perëndisë.”
7 Ai, pra, u thoshte turmave që shkonin të pagëzoheshin prej tij: “Pjellë nepërkash, kush ju ka mesuar t’i arratiseni zemërimit që po vjen?
8 Bëni, pra, fryte të denja pendimi dhe mos filloni të thoni brenda jush: Ne kemi Abrahamin për Atë,," sepse unë po ju them se Perëndia mund t’i nxjerrë fëmijë Abrahamit edhe nga këta gurë.
9 Tashmë sëpata u vu në rrënjë të pemëve; çdo pemë që nuk jep fryt të mirë do të pritet dhe do të hidhet në zjarr.”
10 Dhe turmat e pyesnin, duke thënë: “Dhe ne, pra, ç’të bëjmë?.”
11 Atëherë ai, duke përgjigjur, u tha atyre: “Ai që ka dy tunika le t’i ndajë me atë që s’ka, dhe ai që ka të hajë le të veprojë po kështu.”
12 Tani erdhën edhe disa tagrambledhës që të pagëzohen dhe e pyetën: “Mësues, ç’duhet të bëjmë?.”
13 Dhe ai u tha atyre: “Mos vilni asgjë më tepër nga sa ju është urdhëruar.”
14 Edhe ushtarët e pyetën duke thënë: “Dhe ne, ç’duhet të bëjmë?.” Dhe ai u tha atyre: “Mos i bëni shantazh asnjeriu, mos i bëni akuza të rreme kurrkujt dhe jini të kënaqur me pagën tuaj!.”
15 Dhe populli ishte në pritje dhe të gjithë pyesnin në zemrat e veta nëse Gjoni ishte Krishti vetë.
16 Gjoni u përgjigj duke u thënë të gjithëve: “Unë ju pagëzoj me ujë; por vjen ai që është më i fortë nga unë, të cilit unë nuk jam i denjë as t’ia zgjidh lidhëset e sandaleve; ai do t’ju pagëzojë me Frymën e Shenjtë dhe me zjarr.
17 Ai mban në dorë lopatën e vet, për ta pastruar krejt lëmin e vet dhe për të mbledhur grurin në hambarin e tij, por bykun do ta djegë me zjarr që nuk shuhet.”
18 Kështu ai e ungjillizonte popullin duke e këshilluar me shumë mënyra të tjera.
19 Por Herodi, tetraku, mbasi u qortua prej tij për shkak të Herodiadës, gruas së vëllait të tij Filipit, dhe për të gjitha mbrapshtitë që ai kishte kryer,
20 U shtoi të gjitha të tjerave edhe këtë, domethënë e futi Gjonin në burg.
21 Tani, si u pagëzua gjithë populli, edhe Jezusi u pagëzua; dhe ndërsa po lutej, qielli u hap
22 dhe Fryma e Shenjtë zbriti mbi të, në trajtën trupore si të pëllumbit, dhe nga qielli erdhi një zë, që thoshte: “Ti je Biri im i dashur, në ty unë jam kënaqur!.”
23 Dhe Jezusi ishte rreth tridhjetë vjeç; dhe e pandehnin se ishte bir i Jozefit, bir i Elit;
24 bir i Mathatit, bir i Levit, bir i Melkit, bir i Janas, bir i Jozefit;
25 bir i Matathias, bir i Amosit, bir i Naumit, bir i Eslit, bir i Nagait;
26 bir i Maathit, bir i Matathias, bir i Semeit, bir i Jozefit, bir i Judës;
27 bir i Joannas, bir i Resas, bir i Zorobabelit, bir i Salatielit, bir i Nerit;
28 bir i Melkit, bir i Adit, bir i Kosamit, bir i Elmodamit, bir i Erit;
29 bir i Joseut, bir i Eliezerit, bir i Iorimit, bir i Mathatit, bir i Levit;
30 bir i Simeonit, bir i Judës, bir i Jozefit, bir i Jonanit, bir i Eliakimit;

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)
23 Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry.(AG) He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph,(AH)
the son of Heli, 24 the son of Matthat,
the son of Levi, the son of Melki,
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 Josek, the son of Joda,
27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa,
the son of Zerubbabel,(AI) the son of Shealtiel,
the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melki,
the son of Addi, the son of Cosam,
the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
29 the son of Joshua, 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,(AJ)
the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse,
the son of Obed, the son of Boaz,
the son of Salmon,[d] the son of Nahshon,
33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram,[e]
the son of Hezron, the son of Perez,(AK)
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,(AL)
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,(AM) the son of Shem,
the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,(AN)
37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch,
the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel,
the son of Kenan,(AO) 38 the son of Enosh,
the son of Seth, the son of Adam,
the son of God.(AP)

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.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,
28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,
34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
