施洗约翰(A)

那时,施洗的约翰出来,在犹太的旷野传道, 说:“天国近了,你们应当悔改。” 以赛亚先知所说:

“在旷野有呼喊者的声音:

‘预备主的道,

修直他的路!’”

就是指着这约翰说的。 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服,腰束皮带,吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 耶路撒冷、犹太全地和约旦河一带的人都出来到他那里去, 承认自己的罪,在约旦河里受了他的洗。

约翰看见许多法利赛人和撒都该人来到他施洗的地方,就对他们说:“毒蛇所生的啊,谁指示你们逃避那将要来的忿怒呢? 应当结出果子来,与悔改的心相称。 你们心里不要以为:‘我们有亚伯拉罕作我们的祖宗。’我告诉你们, 神能从这些石头中给亚伯拉罕兴起后裔来。 10 现在斧头已经放在树根上,所有不结好果子的树,就砍下来,丢在火里。 11 我用水给你们施洗,表示你们悔改;但在我以后要来的那一位,能力比我更大,我就是替他提鞋也没有资格。他要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。 12 他手里拿着簸箕,要扬净麦场,把麦子收进仓里,却用不灭的火把糠秕烧尽。”

耶稣受洗(B)

13 那时,耶稣从加利利来到约旦河约翰那里,要受他的洗。 14 约翰想要阻止他,说:“我应该受你的洗,你却到我这里来吗?” 15 耶稣回答:“暂且这样作吧。我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰答应了他。 16 耶稣受了洗,立刻从水中上来;忽然,天为他开了,他看见 神的灵,好象鸽子降下来,落在他身上; 17 又有声音从天上来,说:“这是我的爱子,我所喜悦的。”

Predicación de Juan el Bautista

(Mr. 1.1-8; Lc. 3.1-9,15-17; Jn. 1.19-28)

En aquellos días vino Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judea, y diciendo: Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos(A) se ha acercado.(B) Pues este es aquel de quien habló el profeta Isaías, cuando dijo:

Voz del que clama en el desierto:

Preparad el camino del Señor,

Enderezad sus sendas.(C)

Y Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, y tenía un cinto de cuero alrededor de sus lomos;(D) y su comida era langostas y miel silvestre. Y salía a él Jerusalén, y toda Judea, y toda la provincia de alrededor del Jordán, y eran bautizados por él en el Jordán, confesando sus pecados.

Al ver él que muchos de los fariseos y de los saduceos venían a su bautismo, les decía: ¡Generación de víboras!(E) ¿Quién os enseñó a huir de la ira venidera? Haced, pues, frutos dignos de arrepentimiento, y no penséis decir dentro de vosotros mismos: A Abraham tenemos por padre;(F) porque yo os digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham aun de estas piedras. 10 Y ya también el hacha está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; por tanto, todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado en el fuego.(G)

11 Yo a la verdad os bautizo en agua para arrepentimiento; pero el que viene tras mí, cuyo calzado yo no soy digno de llevar, es más poderoso que yo; él os bautizará en Espíritu Santo y fuego. 12 Su aventador está en su mano, y limpiará su era; y recogerá su trigo en el granero, y quemará la paja en fuego que nunca se apagará.

El bautismo de Jesús

(Mr. 1.9-11; Lc. 3.21-22)

13 Entonces Jesús vino de Galilea a Juan al Jordán, para ser bautizado por él. 14 Mas Juan se le oponía, diciendo: Yo necesito ser bautizado por ti, ¿y tú vienes a mí? 15 Pero Jesús le respondió: Deja ahora, porque así conviene que cumplamos toda justicia. Entonces le dejó. 16 Y Jesús, después que fue bautizado, subió luego del agua; y he aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vio al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como paloma, y venía sobre él. 17 Y hubo una voz de los cielos, que decía: Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien tengo complacencia.(H)

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

In those days John the Baptist(B) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(C) has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.’”[a](D)

John’s(E) clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.(F) His food was locusts(G) and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized(H) by him in the Jordan River.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(K) And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 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)

11 “I baptize you with[b] water for repentance.(N) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit(O) and fire.(P) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(Q)

The Baptism of Jesus(R)

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(S) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(T) and he saw the Spirit of God(U) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(V) said, “This is my Son,(W) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(X)

  1. Matthew 3:3 Isaiah 40:3
  2. Matthew 3:11 Or in
  3. Matthew 3:11 Or in

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

And think 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.

10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
