CHAPTER 3 John the Baptist in the Wilderness

1 [²in ⁴year ¹And ³the fifteenth] of the governing of Tiberius Caesar, and the governing of Pontius Pilate of the Jews, and [²being tetrarch ³of Galilee ¹Herod], and Philip his brother being tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis the region, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene, 2 with chief priests Annas and Caiaphas, came the word of God unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the place round about the Jordan proclaiming an immersion of repentance for a release of sins; 4 as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice yelling in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord! [²straight ¹Make] his roads! 5 Every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered; and [³will be ¹the ²crooked] for straight, and the rough for [²ways ¹smooth]; 6 and [³shall see ¹all ²flesh] the deliverance of God. 7 He said then to the [²coming forth ¹multitudes] to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who indicated to you to flee from the [²about to be ¹wrath]? 8 Do then fruits worthy of the repentance! For you should not begin to say among yourselves, [²father ¹We have] Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able from out of these stones to raise children to Abraham. 9 But already even the axe [²at ³the ⁴root ⁵of the ⁶trees ¹is situated]. Every tree then not producing [²fruit ¹good] is cut down, and [²into ³the fire ¹thrown]. 10 And [³asked ⁴him ¹the ²multitudes], saying, What then shall we do? 11 And answering he says to them, The one having two inner garments, share with the one not having! And the one having foods, in like manner do! 12 And there came also tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? 13 And he said to them, [²nothing ³more ⁴beyond ⁵that ⁶being set in order ⁷to you ¹exact]! 14 [³asked ¹And ⁴him ⁵also ²soldiers], saying, And we, what shall we do? And he said to them, No one should you shake up nor extort, and let [²be sufficient ¹your rations]! 15 [⁴were expecting ¹And ²the ³people], and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, if perhaps he may be the Christ. 16 John answered all together, saying, I indeed [³in water ¹immerse ²you], but comes the one stronger than me, of whom I am not fit to untie the strap of his sandals; he will immerse you in [²spirit ¹holy] and in fire; 17 of whom the winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather the grain into his storehouse; and the straw he will incinerate with [²fire ¹inextinguishable]. 18 [⁴many ²indeed ³then ¹And] other things comforting he announced good news to the people.

The Immersion of Jesus

19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all [²which ⁴did ¹the evils ³Herod], 20 added also this unto all -- that he imprisoned John in the prison. 21 And it came to pass in the immersing all the people, and Jesus being immersed and praying, [³was opened ¹the ²heaven], 22 and [⁴came down ¹the ³spirit ²holy] bodily in a form as a dove upon him, and a voice out of heaven came, saying, You are my son the beloved; in you I take pleasure.
