बपतिस्मा देने वाले योहन का उपदेश
(मत्ति 3:1-12; मारक 1:1-8)
3 सम्राट कयसर तिबेरियॉस के शासनकाल के पन्द्रहवें वर्ष में जब पोन्तियॉस पिलातॉस यहूदिया प्रदेश का, हेरोदेस गलील प्रदेश का, उसका भाई फ़िलिप्पॉस इतूरिया और त्रख़ोनीतिस प्रदेश का 2 तथा लिसनियस एबिलीन का राज्यपाल था तथा जब हन्ना और कायाफ़स महायाजक पद पर थे; ज़कर्याह के पुत्र योहन को, जब वह जंगल में थे, परमेश्वर की ओर से एक सन्देश प्राप्त हुआ. 3 इसलिए योहन यरदन नदी के आस-पास के सभी क्षेत्र में भ्रमण करते हुए पाप-क्षमा के लिए पश्चाताप के बपतिस्मा का प्रचार करने लगे; 4 जैसी बपतिस्मा देने वाले योहन के विषय में भविष्यद्वक्ता यशायाह की भविष्यवाणी है:
जंगल में पुकारती हुई आवाज़
प्रभु के लिए मार्ग तैयार करो.
उनके लिए रास्ते सीधे बनाओ.
5 हर एक घाटी भर दी जाएगी,
हर एक पर्वत और पहाड़ी समतल की जाएगी.
टेढ़े रास्ते सीधे हो जाएँगे तथा असमतल पथ समतल.
6 हर एक मनुष्य के सामने परमेश्वर का उद्धार स्पष्ट हो जाएगा.
7 बपतिस्मा लेने के उद्देश्य से अपने पास आई भीड़ को सम्बोधित करते हुए योहन कहते थे, “अरे ओ विषैले सर्पों की सन्तान! तुम्हें आनेवाले महाक्रोध से बच कर लौटने की चेतावनी किसने दे दी? 8 सच्चे मन फिराने का प्रमाण दो और इस भ्रम में स्वयं को धोखा न दो: ‘हम तो अब्राहाम की सन्तान हैं!’ क्योंकि यह समझ लो कि परमेश्वर में इन पत्थरों तक से अब्राहाम की सन्तान उत्पन्न करने का सामर्थ्य है. 9 पहले ही वृक्षों की जड़ पर कुल्हाड़ी रखी हुई है. हर एक ऐसा पेड़, जिसका फल अच्छा नहीं है, काटा और आग में झोंक दिया जाता है.”

New International Version
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)

(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.”
