Матей 3
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Проповед на Йоан Кръстител
3 (A)(B)(C)В онези дни Йоан Кръстител дойде и проповядваше в юдейската пустиня, 2 (D)и казваше: „Покайте се, понеже наближи небесното царство.“ 3 (E)Защото Йоан беше този, за когото е казал пророк Исаия: „Гласът на викащия в пустинята призовава: ‘Пригответе пътя за Господа, правете прави в пустошта пътеките за Него’.“
4 (F)(G)Йоан носеше дреха от камилска вълна и кожен пояс около кръста си; а храната му беше акриди и див мед. 5 Тогава Йерусалим, цяла Юдея и цялата Йорданска околност излизаха при него 6 и се кръщаваха от него в река Йордан, след като изповядваха греховете си.
7 (H)И когато Йоан видя мнозина фарисеи и садукеи, че идват при него да бъдат кръстени, им каза: „Змийски изчадия, кой ви подсети да бягате от идващото Божие наказание? 8 Затова сторете плод, достоен за покаяние, 9 (I)и не се успокоявайте, като си казвате: ‘Авраам е нашият баща’; защото, казвам ви, Бог може и от тези камъни да въздигне потомци на Авраам. 10 (J)А и брадвата лежи вече при корена на дърветата; и тъй всяко дърво, което не дава добър плод, се отсича и хвърля в огъня.
11 (K)Аз ви кръщавам с вода за покаяние, а Онзи, Който идва след мене, ще ви кръсти със Светия Дух и с огън, понеже Той е много по-силен от мене. И аз не съм достоен да Му понеса обувките. 12 (L)Неговата лопата е в ръката Му и Той ще очисти мястото Си за вършеене, и ще събере житото Си в житницата, а плявата ще изгори в неугасващ огън.“
Кръщение на Иисус Христос
13 (M)Тогава Иисус дойде от Галилея край Йордан при Йоан, за да бъде кръстен от него. 14 А Йоан Го възпираше и казваше: „Аз имам нужда да се кръстя от Тебе, а Ти ли идваш при мене?“ 15 Но в отговор Иисус му каза: „Остави това сега, понеже на нас подобава да изпълним цялата Божия правда.“ Тогава Йоан се съгласи. 16 (N)И след като се кръсти, Иисус веднага излезе от водата. И, ето отвориха Му се небесата и видя Божия Дух да слиза като гълъб и да се спуска над Него. 17 (O)И, ето чу се глас от небесата: „Този е Моят възлюбен Син, в Когото е Моето благоволение.“
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.”

John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 (A)In those days (B)John the Baptist came preaching in (C)the wilderness of Judea, 2 (D)“Repent, for (E)the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”[a] 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said,
(F)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(G)‘Prepare[b] the way of the Lord;
make his paths straight.’”
4 Now John wore (H)a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was (I)locusts and (J)wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, 6 and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, (K)confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of (L)the Pharisees and (M)Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, (N)“You brood of (O)vipers! Who warned you to flee from (P)the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruit (Q)in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, (R)‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from (S)these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. (T)Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 (U)“I baptize you with water (V)for repentance, but (W)he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you (X)with the Holy Spirit and (Y)fire. 12 His (Z)winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and (AA)gather his wheat into the barn, (AB)but the chaff he will burn with (AC)unquenchable fire.”
The Baptism of Jesus
13 (AD)Then Jesus came (AE)from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 (AF)John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, (AG)the heavens were opened to him,[c] and he (AH)saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, (AI)a voice from heaven said, (AJ)“This is my beloved Son,[d] with whom I am well pleased.”
