LU-3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius
Caesar, Pontius
Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of
Galilee, and his
brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of
Trachonitis, and
Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
LU-3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of
God came unto
John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
LU-3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching
the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins;
LU-3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight.
LU-3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and
hill shall be
brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the
rough ways [shall
be] made smooth;
LU-3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
LU-3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be
baptized of him, O
generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath
to come?
LU-3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and
begin not to say
within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say
unto you, That
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
LU-3:9 And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:
every tree
therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the
fire.
LU-3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
LU-3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two
coats, let him
impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do
likewise.
LU-3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto
him, Master,
what shall we do?
LU-3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.
LU-3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And
what shall we
do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse
[any] falsely;
and be content with your wages.
LU-3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men
mused in their
hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
LU-3:16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize
you with
water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not
worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and
with fire:
LU-3:17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly
purge his floor,
and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will
burn with fire
unquenchable.
LU-3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he
unto the people.
LU-3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for
Herodias his brother
Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
LU-3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in
prison.
LU-3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass,
