governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip
tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene ,

priests
--
there
came
a
word of God unto
John the
son of Zacharias,
in the wilderness ,
during
the
high
priesthood
of
Annas and Caiaphas ,
the
word of God came
to
John son of Zechariah
in the wilderness .
and
he came
to
all the region round
the Jordan, proclaiming
a baptism of reformation
--
to
remission
of sins,
He went
into
all the region around
the Jordan, preaching
a baptism of repentance
for
the
forgiveness
of sins,
as it hath
been
written in the scroll
of the words of Isaiah the prophet ,
saying,
`
A voice of one crying
in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of
the Lord, straight
make ye
His
paths ;
as it is
written in the book
of the words of Isaiah the prophet :
“
A voice of one calling
in the wilderness, ‘
Prepare the way for
the Lord, make straight
paths for
Him.
every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall
be
made low ,
and
the crooked shall become
straightness
, and the rough become
smooth
ways ;
Every valley shall be filled in
, and every mountain and hill made low .
The crooked ways
shall be
made
straight
, and the rough ways smooth.
and all flesh
shall
see the
salvation of
God
. '
And all humanity
will
see God’s
salvation. ’”
Then said he
to the multitudes
coming forth
to be baptised
by him, `
Brood of vipers !
who did
prompt
you to flee from the coming wrath?
Then John
said to the crowds
coming out
to be baptized
by him, “You
brood of vipers ,
who warned
you to flee from the coming wrath?
make,
therefore
, fruits
worthy
of
the
reformation
, and begin
not to say within
yourselves, We have a
father
--
Abraham ;
for I say
to
you ,
that God
is
able
out of these stones to
raise children to
Abraham ;
Produce
fruit
, then
, in
keeping
with
repentance.
And do
not begin
to say to
yourselves, ‘
We have Abraham as
our
father.’
For I tell
you that out of these stones God
can
raise up
children for
Abraham .
and
already
also
the axe unto
the root of the trees is
laid
, every tree ,
therefore,
not making
good fruit is
cut down ,
and to
fire it
is
cast
. '
The axe lies
ready
at
the root of the trees, and
every tree that
does
not produce
good fruit will
be
cut down and thrown
into
the
fire. ”
And
the multitudes
were
questioning
him, saying,
`
What ,
then ,
shall
we do? '
The crowds
asked
him, “
What then should
we do? ”
and
he
answering
saith
to
them
, `He
having
two coats
--
let
him
impart
to
him having
none, and he
having
victuals
--
in
like
manner
let
him
do. '
John
replied
, “Whoever
has
two tunics
should
share
with
him who
has
none, and whoever
has
food
should
do the
same
. ”
And
there
came
also
tax -gatherers
to be baptised
, and
they said
unto
him,
`Teacher
, what shall
we do? '
Even
tax collectors
came
to be baptized.
“Teacher
, ”
they asked
, “
what should
we do? ”
and
he
said
unto
them,
`Exact
no more than that
directed
you. '
“Collect
no more than you are
authorized,”
he
answered
.
And
questioning
him also
were
those
warring
, saying,
`
And we,
what shall
we do? '
and
he
said
unto
them,
`
Do violence
to
no
one,
nor
accuse
falsely
, and
be content with your wages. '
Then
some
soldiers
asked
him, “
And what should
we do? ”
“
Do not
take
money
by
force
or
false
accusation
, ”
he
said.
“
Be content with your wages. ”
And
the people are
looking
forward,
and all are
reasoning
in their hearts concerning
John ,
whether
or
not
he
may
be the Christ ;
The people were
waiting
expectantly
and were
all wondering
in their hearts if
John could
be the Christ .
John answered ,
saying
to
all ,
`
I indeed
with water do
baptise
you
, but he
cometh
who
is
mightier
than I, of whom
I am not worthy to loose
the
latchet
of
his
sandals
--
he shall
baptise
you with the Holy Spirit and with fire ;
John answered all of
them:
“
I baptize
you
with water, but One
more
powerful
than I will
come
, the
straps
of whose
sandals
I am not worthy to untie.
He will
baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and with fire .
whose
winnowing shovel
`
is '
in his hand ,
and
he
will
thoroughly
cleanse
his floor ,
and will
gather the wheat to
his storehouse,
and
the
chaff
he will burn with fire
unquenchable. '
His
winnowing fork
is in His hand to
clear
His threshing
floor and to
gather the wheat into
His barn;
but
He will burn up
the
chaff
with unquenchable fire
. ”
And,
therefore,
indeed
with many other things,
exhorting
, he
was
proclaiming
good news to the people ,
With these
and
many other exhortations
, John
proclaimed
the
good news to the people .
and
Herod the tetrarch ,
being
reproved
by
him
concerning
Herodias
the
wife
of
Philip
his brother,
and concerning
all the evils that
Herod
did
,
But
when
he
rebuked
Herod the tetrarch regarding
his brother’s
wife
Herodias
and all the evils he
had
done
,
added also
this to all ,
that
he shut
up
John in the
prison.
Herod
added this to them
all :
He locked
John up
in prison.
And
it
came
to
pass,
in
all the people being baptised
, Jesus also
being
baptised,
and praying, the
heaven was opened,
When
all the people were
being baptized
, Jesus was
baptized
too.
And as
He
was
praying, heaven was opened,
and the Holy Spirit came
down
in a bodily appearance,
as
if
a dove ,
upon
him,
and a voice came out
of
heaven ,
saying,
`Thou
art
My Son
--
the
Beloved ,
in thee
I did
delight
. '
and the Holy Spirit descended
on
Him
in a bodily form
like
a dove .
And a voice came from
heaven :
“You
are
My beloved Son;
in You
I am
well
pleased
. ”
