John the Baptist Preaches
3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when (A)Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and (B)Herod was tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high priesthood of (C)Annas and (D)Caiaphas, (E)the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all (F)the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance [a]for the forgiveness of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
“(G)The voice of one calling [b]out in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight!
5 (H)Every ravine will be filled,
And every mountain and hill will be lowered;
The crooked will become straight,
And the rough roads smooth;
6 (I)And all [c]flesh will (J)see the salvation of God!’”
7 So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “(K)You [d]offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and (L)do not start saying [e]to yourselves, ‘(M)We have Abraham as our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham. 9 But indeed the axe is already being laid at the root of the trees; so (N)every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “(O)Then what are we to do?” 11 And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two [f]tunics is to (P)share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.” 12 Now even (Q)tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what are we to do?” 13 And he said to them, “[g]Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14 And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone, nor [h](R)harass anyone, and (S)be content with your wages.”
15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John, (T)whether he himself perhaps was the [i]Christ, 16 (U)John responded to them all, saying, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you [j]with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His (V)winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with (W)unquenchable fire.”
18 So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people. 19 But when (X)Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him regarding (Y)Herodias, his brother’s wife, and regarding all the evil things which (Z)Herod had done, 20 Herod also added this to them all: (AA)he locked John up in prison.
Jesus Is Baptized
21 (AB)Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while He was (AC)praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: “(AD)You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased.”

23 (AE)When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years old, being, as was commonly held, the son of (AF)Joseph, [k]the son of [l]Eli, 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 [m]Hesli, 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, (AG)the son of Zerubbabel, the son of [n]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 [o]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 [p]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 (AH)the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of [q]Salmon, the son of [r]Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of [s]Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, (AI)the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of [t]Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of [u]Heber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, (AJ)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 Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

3 In en the fifteenth pentekaidekatos year etos · de of the ho reign hēgemonia of Tiberius Tiberios Caesar Kaisar, when Pontius Pontios Pilate Pilatos was governing hēgemoneuō · ho Judea Ioudaia, and kai Herod hērōdēs was tetrarch tetraarcheō of ho Galilee Galilaia and de Philip Philippos · ho his autos brother adelphos tetrarch tetraarcheō of the ho region chōra of Ituraea Itouraios and kai Trachonitis Trachōnitis, and kai Lysanias Lysanias was tetrarch tetraarcheō of ho Abilene Abilēnē, 2 when epi Annas Hannas was high archiereus priest , and kai Caiaphas Kaiaphas, the word rhēma of God theos came ginomai upon epi John Iōannēs the ho son hyios of Zechariah Zacharias in en the ho wilderness erēmos. 3 And kai he went erchomai into eis the ho region all pas around perichōros the ho Jordan Iordanēs, proclaiming kēryssō a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia for eis the forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia. 4 As hōs it is written graphō in en the book biblos of the words logos of Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs, “The voice phōnē of one calling boaō out in en the ho wilderness erēmos: ‘ Prepare hetoimazō the ho way hodos for the Lord kyrios, make poieō the ho paths tribos straight for him autos. 5 Every pas ravine pharanx will be filled plēroō in and kai every pas mountain oros and kai hill bounos will be leveled tapeinoō off ; · kai the ho crooked places skolios will become eimi straight and kai the ho rough trachus places will become smooth leios roads hodos. 6 Then kai will all pas flesh sarx see horaō the ho salvation of ho God theos!’”
7 So oun he said legō to the ho crowds ochlos that were coming ekporeuomai out to be baptized baptizō by hypo him autos, “ You offspring gennēma of vipers echidna! Who tis warned hypodeiknymi you hymeis to flee pheugō from apo the ho coming mellō wrath orgē? 8 Bear poieō, then oun, fruits karpos worthy axios of ho repentance metanoia. · kai Do not mē even begin archō to say legō to en yourselves heautou, ‘ We have echō Abraham Abraam as our father patēr.’ · ho For gar I say legō to you hymeis that hoti God theos is able dynamai, · ho out ek of · ho these houtos stones lithos, to raise egeirō up children teknon to ho Abraham Abraam. 9 Indeed kai, already ēdē · de the ho axe axinē is laid keimai to pros the ho root rhiza of the ho trees dendron; therefore oun every pas tree dendron that does not mē bear poieō good kalos fruit karpos will be cut ekkoptō down and kai thrown ballō into eis the fire pyr.

15 Since the ho people laos were filled with anticipation prosdokaō · de and kai all pas were questioning dialogizomai in en · ho their autos hearts kardia about peri · ho John Iōannēs (“ Could he autos perhaps mēpote be eimi the ho Messiah Christos?”) 16 John Iōannēs gave an answer apokrinomai to all pas, saying legō, · ho “ I egō indeed men baptize baptizō you hymeis with water hydōr, but de there is coming erchomai one ho who is mightier ischuros than I egō, of whom hos I am eimi not ou worthy hikanos to untie lyō the ho thong himas of ho his autos sandals hypodēma.

21 Now de when en · ho all hapas the ho people laos had been baptized baptizō, and kai when Jesus Iēsous was baptized baptizō and kai was praying proseuchomai, the ho heavens ouranos were opened anoigō, 22 and kai the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma descended katabainō · ho on epi him autos in bodily sōmatikos form eidos, like hōs a dove peristera; and kai a voice phōnē came ginomai from ek heaven ouranos, “ You sy are eimi · ho my egō Son hyios, the ho Beloved agapētos; with en you sy I am well pleased eudokeō.”
