Matthew 3
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

In Fulfillment of Isaiah, John The Baptist Prepares The Nation For The Messiah

3 Now during those days John the Baptist comes[a], proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn-near”. 3 For this one is the one having been spoken of through Isaiah the prophet saying [in Isa 40:3], “A voice of one shouting in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, be making His paths straight’”. 4 Now John himself was having[b] his clothing [made] of camel’s hair, and a belt made-of-leather around his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 At that time Jerusalem and all Judea and all the surrounding-region of the Jordan was going out to him. 6 And they were being baptized in the Jordan River by him while confessing-out[c] their sins.

John Says To Produce Fruit Worthy of Repentance, Because The Chaff Will Be Burned

7 But having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to[d] his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers— who showed[e] you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance. 9 And do not think that you may say within[f] yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father’. For I say to you that God is able to raise-up children for Abraham from these stones! 10 And the axe is already lying[g] at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I am baptizing you with[h] water for repentance, but the One coming after me is more powerful than me, of Whom I am not fit to carry the sandals. He will baptize you with[i] the Holy Spirit and fire[j]— 12 Whose winnowing-tool is in His hand, and He will cleanse-out His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But He will burn up the chaff with an inextinguishable fire”.

When Jesus Is Baptized, The Spirit Descends Upon Him And His Father Expresses His Pleasure

13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John that He might be baptized by him. 14 But John was preventing Him, saying, “I have a need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?” 15 But having responded, Jesus said to him, “Permit it at this time. For it is fitting[k] for us to fulfill all righteousness in this manner”. Then he permits Him. 16 And having been baptized, Jesus immediately ascended[l] from[m] the water. And behold— the heavens were opened to Him, and he[n] saw the Spirit of God descending as-if [o] a dove, and coming upon Him. 17 And behold— a voice from the heavens saying, “This is My beloved Son with Whom I was[p] well-pleased”.

Matej 3
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod

Ivan Krstitelj

(Mk 1,1-8; Lk 3,1-9.15-17; Iv 1,19-28)

3 U ono vrijeme pojavio se Ivan Krstitelj i počeo propovijedati u judejskoj pustinji. 2 Govorio je: »Pokajte se jer je Kraljevstvo nebesko blizu!« 3 Upravo je o Ivanu govorio prorok Izaija:

»Glas jednoga viče u pustinji:
‘Pripremite put Gospodinu,
    poravnajte mu staze.’«[a]

4 Ivan je imao odjeću od devine dlake i kožni pojas oko bokova. Hranio se skakavcima i divljim medom. 5 U to su ga vrijeme dolazili slušati ljudi iz Jeruzalema, iz cijele Judeje i s cijeloga područja oko rijeke Jordan. 6 Priznavali su svoje grijehe, a Ivan ih je krstio uranjajući ih u rijeku Jordan.

7 Kad je Ivan vidio mnoge farizeje[b] i saduceje[c] kako dolaze k njemu da ih krsti, rekao im je: »Zmijski porodi! Tko li vas je upozorio da bježite od Božje srdžbe koja dolazi? 8 Pokažite svojim životom da ste se zaista obratili. Činite ono što dokazuje da ste se promijenili i nemojte se pouzdavati u to što je Abraham vaš otac. 9 Jer, kažem vam, Bog može od ovoga kamenja stvoriti Abrahamovu djecu. 10 Sjekira je već položena na korijen stabla, a svako stablo, koje ne daje dobar plod, bit će posječeno i bačeno u vatru.[d] 11 Ja vas krstim vodom u znak obraćenja, ali onaj koji dolazi nakon mene veći je od mene. Ja mu nisam dostojan ni obuću skinuti. On će vas krstiti Svetim Duhom i vatrom. 12 Doći će spreman pročistiti zrnje od pljeve[e]. Pšenicu će sakupiti i spremiti u svoju žitnicu, a pljevu će spaliti u vatri koja se ne može ugasiti.«

Isusovo krštenje

(Mk 1,9-11; Lk 3,21-22)

13 Tada je Isus došao iz Galileje na rijeku Jordan k Ivanu da ga krsti. 14 Ivan ga je pokušavao odgovoriti pa mu je rekao: »Ti bi trebao mene krstiti, a dolaziš k meni!«

15 No Isus mu je odgovorio: »Pusti, primjereno je da učinimo sve što Bog želi.« Tada ga je Ivan pristao krstiti.

16 Isus je bio kršten i, čim je izašao iz vode, otvorilo se Nebo i vidio je Duha Božjega kako silazi u liku goluba i spušta se na njega. 17 A glas s neba je rekao: »Ovo je moj voljeni sin. S njim sam potpuno zadovoljan!«
