Mateus 3

João Batista(A)
3 E, naqueles dias, apareceu João Batista pregando no deserto da Judeia 2 e dizendo: Arrependei-vos, porque é chegado o Reino dos céus. 3 Porque este é o anunciado pelo profeta Isaías, que disse: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas. 4 E este João tinha a sua veste de pelos de camelo e um cinto de couro em torno de seus lombos e alimentava-se de gafanhotos e de mel silvestre. 5 Então, ia ter com ele Jerusalém, e toda a Judeia, e toda a província adjacente ao Jordão; 6 e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados. 7 E, vendo ele muitos dos fariseus e dos saduceus que vinham ao seu batismo, dizia-lhes: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira futura? 8 Produzi, pois, frutos dignos de arrependimento 9 e não presumais de vós mesmos, dizendo: Temos por pai a Abraão; porque eu vos digo que mesmo destas pedras Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abraão. 10 E também, agora, está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda árvore, pois, que não produz bom fruto é cortada e lançada no fogo.
11 E eu, em verdade, vos batizo com água, para o arrependimento; mas aquele que vem após mim é mais poderoso do que eu; não sou digno de levar as suas sandálias; ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo. 12 Em sua mão tem a pá, e limpará a sua eira, e recolherá no celeiro o seu trigo, e queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apagará.
O batismo de Jesus(B)
13 Então, veio Jesus da Galileia ter com João junto do Jordão, para ser batizado por ele. 14 Mas João opunha-se-lhe, dizendo: Eu careço de ser batizado por ti, e vens tu a mim? 15 Jesus, porém, respondendo, disse-lhe: Deixa por agora, porque assim nos convém cumprir toda a justiça. Então, ele o permitiu. 16 E, sendo Jesus batizado, saiu logo da água, e eis que se lhe abriram os céus, e viu o Espírito de Deus descendo como pomba e vindo sobre ele. 17 E eis que uma voz dos céus dizia: Este é o meu Filho amado, em quem me comprazo.

Predicación de Juan el Bautista
3 (A)En aquellos días llegó* Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judea(B), diciendo: 2 «Arrepiéntanse(C), porque el reino de los cielos(D) se ha acercado». 3 Porque este Juan es aquel a quien se refirió el[a] profeta Isaías, cuando dijo:
«Voz del que clama en el desierto:
“Preparen el camino del Señor,
Hagan derechas Sus sendas(E)”».
4 Y él, Juan, tenía un[b] vestido de pelo de camello y un cinto de cuero a la cintura(F); y su comida era de langostas[c](G) y miel silvestre. 5 Entonces Jerusalén, toda Judea y toda la región alrededor del Jordán(H), acudían a él, 6 y confesando sus pecados, eran bautizados(I) por Juan en el río Jordán.
7 Pero cuando vio que muchos de los fariseos(J) y saduceos(K) venían para el bautismo, les dijo: «¡Camada de víboras(L)! ¿Quién les enseñó a huir de la ira que está al venir(M)? 8 Por tanto, den frutos dignos de arrepentimiento(N); 9 y no piensen que pueden decirse a sí mismos: “Tenemos a Abraham por padre(O)”, porque les digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras. 10 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(P). 11 Yo, en verdad, los bautizo a ustedes con[d] agua para arrepentimiento(Q), pero Aquel que viene detrás de mí es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de quitar las sandalias; Él los bautizará(R) con[e] el Espíritu Santo y con fuego. 12 El bieldo está en Su mano(S) y limpiará completamente Su era; y recogerá Su trigo en el granero(T), pero quemará la paja en un fuego que no se apaga(U)».
Bautismo de Jesús
13 (V)Entonces Jesús llegó* de Galilea(W) al Jordán, a donde estaba Juan, para ser bautizado por él. 14 Pero Juan trató de impedirlo, diciendo: «Yo necesito ser bautizado por Ti, ¿y Tú vienes a mí?».
15 Jesús le respondió: «Permítelo ahora; porque es conveniente que así cumplamos toda justicia(X)». Entonces Juan consintió*. 16 Después de ser bautizado, Jesús salió del agua inmediatamente; y los cielos se abrieron en ese momento y él[f] vio al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como una paloma y venía sobre Él(Y). 17 Y se oyó una voz de los cielos que decía: «Este es Mi Hijo amado[g] en quien me he complacido(Z)».
Matthew 3
King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 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?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 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.
Matthew 3
New King James Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days (B)John the Baptist came preaching (C)in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for (D)the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
(E)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(F)‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 Now (G)John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was (H)locusts and (I)wild honey. 5 (J)Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 (K)and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, (L)“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from (M)the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, (N)‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. (O)Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 (P)I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. (Q)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 (R)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will (S)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
John Baptizes Jesus(T)
13 (U)Then Jesus came (V)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 (W)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [b]He saw (X)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (Y)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (Z)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
