And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

[a]The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Make ye ready the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight.

Now John himself had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming [b]to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of [c]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 even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you [d]in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not [e]worthy to bear: he shall baptize you [f]in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [g]it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway from the water: and lo, the heavens were opened [h]unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him; 17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, [i]This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

In en · de · ho those ekeinos days hēmera John Iōannēs the ho Baptist baptistēs began paraginomai his mission in en the ho wilderness erēmos of ho Judea Ioudaia, proclaiming kēryssō, · kai Repent metanoeō, for gar the ho kingdom basileia of ho heaven ouranos is at hand engizō. For gar this houtos is eimi he ho who was spoken legō of by dia Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs when he said legō, ‘The voice phōnē of one crying boaō out in en the ho wilderness erēmos: Prepare hetoimazō the ho way hodos of the Lord kyrios; make poieō his autos paths tribos straight.’” · ho

Now de · ho John Iōannēs wore echō · ho clothing endyma made of apo camel’ s kamēlos hair thrix, with kai a leather dermatinos belt zōnē about peri · ho his autos waist osphys; · ho and de his autos food trophē was eimi locusts akris and kai wild agrios honey meli.

But de when he saw many polys of the ho Pharisees Pharisaios and kai Sadducees Saddoukaios coming erchomai for epi · ho baptism baptisma, he said legō to them autos, “ You brood gennēma of vipers echidna!

Ang Pagwali ni Juan nga Tigbautismo

(Mar. 1:1-8; Luc. 3:1-18; Juan 1:19-28)

Unya, miabot ang panahon nga si Juan nga tigbautismo miadto sa kamingawan sa Judea, ug nagsugod siya sa pagwali ngadto sa mga tawo. Miingon siya, “Paghinulsol kamo ug biyai ninyo ang inyong mga sala, kay ang paghari sa Dios haduol na!” Si Juan mao ang gihisgotan ni Propeta Isaias sa dihang miingon siya,

“May tigbalita nga nagasinggit sa kamingawan. Nagaingon siya,
‘Andama ninyo ang agianan alang sa Ginoo.
Tul-ira ang dalan nga iyang paga-agian.’ ”[a]

Ang bisti ni Juan hinimo gikan sa balhibo sa kamelyo ug ang iyang bakos panit. Ang iyang pagkaon dulon ug dugos. Daghan gayod ang miadto kaniya nga mga tawo nga gikan sa Jerusalem, sa mga lungsod sa Judea ug sa mga lungsod nga duol sa Suba sa Jordan. Gisugid nila ang ilang mga sala ug gibautismohan sila ni Juan didto sa Suba sa Jordan.

Nakita ni Juan nga daghang mga Pariseo ug mga Saduseo ang nangadto aron sa pagpabautismo. Miingon siya kanila, “Kamo nga mga kaliwat sa mga bitin! Kinsa ang nagaingon kaninyo nga makalingkawas kamo gikan sa silot sa Dios nga hapit na moabot? Kon tinuod nga naghinulsol na kamo sa inyong mga sala, pamatud-i ninyo kini pinaagi sa inyong mga binuhatan. Ayaw kamo pag-ingon nga dili kamo silotan tungod kay mga kaliwat kamo ni Abraham. Kay bisan gani kining mga bato mahimong himuon sa Dios nga mga anak ni Abraham. 10 Timan-i ninyo kini: ang atsa andam na aron iputol sa punoan sa mga kahoy. Ang matag kahoy nga wala mamunga ug maayong bunga putlon ug ilabay sa kalayo.”

11 “Ako nagabautismo kaninyo sa tubig sa pagpaila nga naghinulsol na kamo sa inyong mga sala, apan may moabot sunod kanako nga mas gamhanan pa kay kanako ug dili gani ako takos nga mahimong iyang sulugoon.[b] Siya magbautismo kaninyo sa Espiritu Santo ug sa kalayo. 12 Sama siya sa tawo nga nagapalid sa iyang giani aron ilain ang timgas gikan sa tahop. Ang timgas ibutang niya sa bodega, apan ang tahop sunogon niya sa kalayo nga dili gayod mapalong.”

Ang Pagbautismo kang Jesus

(Mar. 1:9-11; Luc. 3:21-22)

13 Unya, migikan si Jesus sa Galilea ug miadto kang Juan didto sa Suba sa Jordan aron magpabautismo. 14 Dili unta mobautismo si Juan kaniya, kay matod niya, “Nganong magpabautismo ka kanako? Ako man gani ang kinahanglan magpabautismo kanimo.” 15 Apan miingon si Jesus kaniya, “Sige lang, tungod kay mao kini ang angay natong buhaton aron matuman ang pagbuot sa Dios.” Busa misugot si Juan ug gibautismohan niya si Jesus. 16 Sa dihang nabautismohan na si Jesus, mikawas siya sa tubig. Unya naabli ang langit ug nakita ni Jesus ang Espiritu sa Dios nga mikunsad kaniya sama sa salampati. 17 Ug may nadungog nga tingog gikan sa langit nga nagaingon, “Mao kini ang akong hinigugmang Anak. Nalipay gayod ako kaniya.”
