Predigt Johannes des Täufers
3 In jenen Tagen aber erscheint Johannes der Täufer und predigt in der Wüste des jüdischen Landes[a] 2 und spricht: Tut Buße, denn das Himmelreich ist nahe herbeigekommen! 3 Das ist der, von welchem gesagt ist durch den Propheten Jesaja, der da spricht:
“Eine Stimme ruft in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des Herrn, machet seine Pfade eben !“
4 Er aber, Johannes, hatte ein Kleid von Kamelhaaren und einen ledernen Gürtel um seine Lenden; und seine Speise waren Heuschrecken und wilder Honig. 5 Da zog zu ihm hinaus Jerusalem und ganz Judäa und die ganze umliegende Landschaft des Jordan, 6 und es wurden von ihm getauft im Jordan, die ihre Sünden bekannten.
7 Als er aber viele von den Pharisäern und Sadduzäern zu seiner Taufe kommen sah, sprach er zu ihnen: Schlangenbrut, wer hat euch unterwiesen, dem zukünftigen Zorn zu entfliehen? 8 So bringet nun Frucht, die der Buße würdig ist! 9 Und denket nicht bei euch selbst, sagen zu können: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater. Denn ich sage euch, Gott vermag dem Abraham aus diesen Steinen Kinder zu erwecken. 10 Es ist aber schon die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt. Ein jeder Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht bringt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen.
11 Ich taufe euch mit Wasser zur Buße; der aber nach mir kommt, ist stärker als ich, so daß ich nicht gut genug bin, ihm die Schuhe zu tragen; der wird euch im heiligen Geist und mit Feuer taufen. 12 Er hat die Wurfschaufel in seiner Hand und wird seine Tenne gründlich reinigen und seinen Weizen in die Scheune sammeln; die Spreu aber wird er verbrennen mit unauslöschlichem Feuer.
Die Taufe Jesu Christi
13 Da kommt Jesus aus Galiläa an den Jordan zu Johannes, um sich von ihm taufen zu lassen. 14 Er aber wehrte es ihm und sprach: Ich habe nötig, von dir getauft zu werden, und du kommst zu mir? 15 Jesus aber antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Laß es jetzt zu; denn also gebührt es uns, alle Gerechtigkeit zu erfüllen! Da ließ er es ihm zu.
16 Und da Jesus getauft war, stieg er alsbald aus dem Wasser; und siehe, da tat sich der Himmel auf, und er sah den Geist Gottes wie eine Taube herabsteigen und auf ihn kommen. 17 Und siehe, eine Stimme [kam] vom Himmel, die sprach: Dies ist mein lieber Sohn, an dem ich Wohlgefallen habe!

The Messiah’s Herald
3 In those days John the Baptist came,(A) preaching in the Wilderness of Judea(B) 2 and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!”(C) 3 For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said:
A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make His paths straight!(D)[a]
4 John himself had a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then people from Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the vicinity of the Jordan were flocking to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.(E)
7 When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees(F) coming to the place of his baptism,[b] he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(G) 8 Therefore produce fruit(H) consistent with[c] repentance. 9 And don’t presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(I) For I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! 10 Even now the ax is ready to strike the root of the trees! Therefore, every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(J)
11 “I baptize you with[d] water for repentance,[e](K) but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove[f] His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with[g] the Holy Spirit and fire.(L) 12 His winnowing shovel[h] is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out.”(M)
The Baptism of Jesus
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.(N) 14 But John tried to stop Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?”
15 Jesus answered him, “Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him to be baptized.
16 After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens(O) suddenly opened for Him,[i] and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.(P) 17 And there came a voice from heaven:
This is My beloved Son.
I take delight in Him!(Q)

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days John the Baptist(B) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(C) has come near.” 3 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)
4 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. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized(H) by him in the Jordan River.
7 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) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(K) 9 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)
