NowG1161 in the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 Caesar,G2541 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of Judaea,G2449 and HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of Galilee,G1056 and his brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 and of the regionG5561 of Trachonitis,G5139 and LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of Abilene,G9
2
AnnasG452 and CaiaphasG2533 beingG1909 the highG749 priests,G749 the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 to JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of ZachariasG2197 in the wilderness.G2048
3
And he cameG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 the countryG4066 aboutG4066 Jordan,G2446 preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 for the remissionG859 of sins;G266
4
As it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophet,G4396 saying,G3004 The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 in the wilderness,G2048 PrepareG2090 you the wayG3598 of the Lord,G2962 makeG4160 his pathsG5147 straight.G2117
5
EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall be filled,G4137 and everyG3956 mountainG3735 and hillG1015 shall be broughtG5013 low;G5013 and the crookedG4646 shall be madeG1519 straight,G2117 and the roughG5138 waysG3598 shall be madeG1519 smooth;G3006
6
And allG3956 fleshG4561 shall seeG3700 the salvationG4992 of God.G2316
7
ThenG3767 saidG3004 he to the multitudeG3793 that cameG1607 forthG1607 to be baptizedG907 of him, O generationG1081 of vipers,G2191 whoG5101 has warnedG5263 you to fleeG5343 from the wrathG3709 to come?G3195
8
BringG4160 forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentance,G3341 and beginG756 not to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselves,G1438 We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our father:G3962 for I sayG3004 to you, That GodG2316 is ableG1410 of theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to Abraham.G11
9
And nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axG513 is laidG2749 to the rootG4491 of the trees:G1186 everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringsG4160 not forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewnG1581 down,G1581 and castG906 intoG1519 the fire.G4442
10
And the peopleG3793 askedG1905 him, saying,G3004 WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 then?G3767
11
He answersG611 and saidG3004 to them, He that hasG2192 twoG1417 coats,G5509 let him impartG3330 to him that hasG2192 none;G3361 and he that hasG2192 meat,G1033 let him doG4160 likewise.G3668
12
ThenG1161 cameG2064 alsoG2532 publicansG5057 to be baptized,G907 and saidG2036 to him, Master,G1320 whatG5101 shall we do?G4160
13
And he saidG2036 to them, ExactG4238 noG3367 moreG4119 thanG3844 that which is appointedG1299 you.
14
And the soldiersG4754 likewiseG2532 demandedG1905 of him, saying,G3004 And whatG5101 shall we do?G4160 And he saidG2036 to them, DoG1286 violenceG1286 to noG3367 man,G3367 neitherG3366 accuseG4811 any falsely; and be contentG714 with yourG5216 wages.G3800
15
And as the peopleG2992 were in expectation,G4328 and allG3956 men musedG1260 in their heartsG2588 of John,G2491 whetherG3379 he were the Christ,G5547 or not;
16
JohnG2491 answered,G611 sayingG3004 to them all,G537 I indeedG3303 baptizeG907 you with water;G5204 but one mightierG2478 than I comes,G2064 the laceG2438 of whoseG3739 shoesG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG2425 to unloose:G3089 he shall baptizeG907 you with the HolyG40 GhostG4151 and with fire:G4442
17
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is in his hand,G5495 and he will thoroughlyG1245 purgeG1245 his floor,G257 and will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 his garner;G596 but the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchable.G762
18
And manyG4183 otherG2087 things in his exhortationG3870 preachedG2097 he to the people.G2992
19
But HerodG2264 the tetrarch,G5076 being reprovedG1651 by him for HerodiasG2266 his brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wife,G1135 and for allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG2264 had done,G4160
20
AddedG4369 yetG2596 thisG5124 aboveG1909 all,G3956 that he shutG2623 up JohnG2491 in prison.G5438
21
NowG1161 whenG1722 G3588 allG537 the peopleG2992 were baptized,G907 it cameG1096 to pass, that JesusG2424 alsoG2532 being baptized,G907 and praying,G4336 the heavenG3772 was opened,G455
22
And the HolyG40 GhostG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 on him, and a voiceG5456 cameG1096 from heaven,G3772 which said,G3004 You areG1488 my belovedG27 Son;G5207 in you I am wellG2106 pleased.G2106
23
And JesusG2424 himselfG846 beganG756 to be aboutG5616 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 of age, beingG5607 (as was supposed)G3543 the sonG5207 of Joseph,G2501 which was the son of Heli,G2242
