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.

The Preaching of John the Baptist

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, during the high priesthood of (C)Annas and (D)Caiaphas, (E)the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. And he came into all (F)the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,

(G)The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ready the way of the [a]Lord,
Make His paths straight.
(H)Every ravine will be filled,
And every mountain and hill will be [b]brought low;
The crooked will be straight,
And the rough roads smooth.
(I)And all [c]flesh will (J)see the salvation of God.’”

So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “(K)You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and (L)do not begin to say [d]to yourselves, ‘(M)We have Abraham for our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. But indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore, (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 should we do?” 11 And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two [e]tunics is to (P)share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.” 12 And (Q)tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13 And he said to them, “[f]Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14 And soldiers were also questioning him, saying, “What should we also do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or (R)extort anyone, and (S)be content with your wages.”

15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, (T)as to whether he was the [g]Christ, 16 (U)John answered, saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the strap of His sandals; He will baptize you 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 proclaimed the gospel to the people. 19 But when (X)Herod the tetrarch was reproved by him because of (Y)Herodias, his brother’s wife, and because of all the wicked things which (Z)Herod had done, 20 Herod also added this to them all: (AA)he locked John up in prison.

The Baptism of Jesus

21 (AB)Now it happened that when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was also 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 out of heaven, “(AD)You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”

Predicación de Juan el Bautista

En el año quince del imperio de Tiberio César, siendo Poncio Pilato(A) gobernador de Judea, y Herodes tetrarca(B) de Galilea, y su hermano Felipe tetrarca de la región de Iturea y Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia, durante el sumo sacerdocio de Anás(C) y Caifás(D), (E)vino la palabra de Dios a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto. Y Juan fue por toda la región alrededor del Jordán(F), predicando un bautismo de arrepentimiento para el perdón de los pecados; como está escrito en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías:

«Voz del que clama en el desierto:
Preparen el camino del Señor,
Hagan derechas Sus sendas(G).
-”Todo valle[a] será rellenado,
Y todo monte y collado rebajado[b];
Lo torcido se hará recto,
Y las sendas ásperas se volverán caminos llanos(H);
Y toda carne[c] verá(I) la salvación de Dios(J)”».

Por eso, Juan decía a las multitudes que acudían para que él las bautizara: «¡Camada de víboras(K)! ¿Quién les enseñó a huir de la ira que vendrá? Por tanto, den frutos dignos de arrepentimiento; y no comiencen a decirse a ustedes mismos(L): “Tenemos a Abraham por padre(M)”, porque les digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras. El hacha ya está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; por tanto, todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego(N)».

10 Y las multitudes le preguntaban: «¿Qué, pues, haremos(O)?». 11 Juan les respondía: «El que tiene dos túnicas, comparta con el que no tiene; y el que tiene qué comer, haga lo mismo(P)». 12 Vinieron también unos recaudadores de impuestos[d] para ser bautizados(Q), y le dijeron: «Maestro, ¿qué haremos?». 13 «No exijan[e] más de lo que se les ha ordenado», les respondió Juan. 14 También algunos soldados le preguntaban: «Y nosotros, ¿qué haremos?». «A nadie quiten dinero por la fuerza», les dijo, «ni a nadie acusen falsamente(R), y conténtense con su salario(S)».

15 Como el pueblo estaba a la expectativa, y todos se preguntaban[f] en sus corazones acerca de Juan, si no sería él el Cristo[g](T), 16 (U)Juan les habló a todos: «Yo los bautizo con agua; pero viene Uno que es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de desatar la correa de Sus sandalias. Él los bautizará con[h] el Espíritu Santo y fuego. 17 El bieldo(V) está en Su mano para limpiar completamente Su era y recoger el trigo en Su granero; pero quemará la paja en un fuego que no se apaga(W)».

18 Y[i] también con muchas otras exhortaciones Juan anunciaba las buenas nuevas[j] al pueblo. 19 Pero Herodes el tetrarca, siendo reprendido por él por causa de Herodías, mujer de su hermano(X), y por todas las maldades que Herodes(Y) había hecho, 20 añadió además a todas ellas, esta: que encerró a Juan en la cárcel(Z).

Bautismo de Jesús

21 (AA)Y aconteció que cuando todo el pueblo era bautizado, Jesús también fue bautizado; y mientras Él oraba(AB), el cielo se abrió, 22 y el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre Él en forma corporal, como una paloma, y vino una voz del cielo, que decía: «Tú eres Mi Hijo amado, en Ti me he complacido(AC)».

Juan el Bautista

1-2 Juan el Bautista, el hijo de Zacarías, vivía en el desierto. Dios le habló allí, en el desierto, cuando Tiberio tenía ya quince años de ser el emperador romano y Poncio Pilato era el gobernador de la región de Judea. En ese tiempo Herodes Antipas gobernaba en la región de Galilea; por su parte Filipo, el hermano de Herodes, gobernaba en las regiones de Iturea y Traconítide; Lisanias gobernaba en la región de Abilene. Anás y Caifás eran los jefes de los sacerdotes del pueblo judío.

Juan fue entonces a la región cercana al río Jordán. Allí le decía a la gente: «¡Bautícense y vuélvanse a Dios! Sólo así Dios los perdonará.»

Mucho tiempo atrás, el profeta Isaías había escrito acerca de Juan:

«Alguien grita en el desierto:
“Prepárenle el camino a nuestro Dios.
¡Ábranle paso!
¡Que no encuentre estorbos!

”Rellenen los valles,
y conviertan en llanura
la región montañosa.
Enderecen los caminos torcidos.
¡Todo el mundo verá
al Salvador que Dios envía!”»

Mucha gente venía para que Juan los bautizara, y él les decía:

—¡Ustedes son unas víboras! ¿Creen que van a escaparse del castigo que Dios les enviará? Muestren con su conducta que realmente han dejado de pecar. No piensen que van a salvarse sólo por ser descendientes de Abraham. Si Dios así lo quiere, hasta estas piedras las puede convertir en familiares de Abraham. Cuando un árbol no produce buenos frutos, su dueño lo corta de raíz y lo quema. ¡Y Dios ya está listo para destruir a los que no hacen lo bueno!

10 La gente le preguntaba:

—Y entonces, ¿qué podemos hacer?

11 Él les respondía:

—El que tenga dos mantos, comparta uno con quien no tenga nada que ponerse. El que tenga comida, compártala con quien no tenga nada que comer.

12 Vinieron también unos cobradores de impuestos y le preguntaron a Juan:

—Maestro, ¿qué podemos hacer para salvarnos?

13 Juan les contestó:

—No le cobren a la gente más dinero del que debe pagar.

14 Unos soldados preguntaron:

—Juan, ¿qué podemos hacer nosotros?

Él les contestó:

—Ustedes amenazan a la gente y la obligan a que les dé dinero. Sólo así le prometen dejarla en paz. ¡No lo vuelvan a hacer, y quédense satisfechos con su salario!

15 Todos se admiraban y querían saber si Juan era el Mesías que esperaban. 16 Pero Juan les respondió:

—Yo los bautizo a ustedes con agua. Pero hay alguien que viene después de mí, y que es más poderoso que yo. Él los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y con fuego. ¡Yo ni siquiera merezco ser su esclavo! 17 El que viene después de mí separará a los buenos de los malos. A los buenos los pondrá a salvo, y a los malos los echará en un fuego que nunca se apaga.

18 De este modo, y de otras maneras, Juan anunciaba las buenas noticias a la gente. 19 Además, reprendió a Herodes Antipas porque vivía con Herodías, la esposa de su hermano Filipo, y por todo lo malo que había hecho. 20 Pero a toda su maldad Herodes añadió otra mala acción: puso a Juan en la cárcel.

Juan bautiza a Jesús

21 Cuando Juan terminó de bautizar a todos, Jesús vino y también se bautizó. Mientras Jesús oraba, el cielo se abrió 22 y el Espíritu Santo bajó sobre él en forma de paloma. Luego se oyó una voz que desde el cielo decía: «Tú eres mi Hijo, a quien quiero mucho. Estoy muy contento contigo.»

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)(B)

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— during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,(E) the word of God came to John(F) son of Zechariah(G) in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.(H) 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.
Every valley shall be filled in,
    every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
    the rough ways smooth.
And all people will see God’s salvation.’”[a](I)

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) 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. 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)
