1 Now * g1161 in * g1722 the fifteenth * g4003 year * g2094 of the reign * g2231 of Tiberius * g5086 Caesar * g2541, Pontius * g4194 Pilate * g4091 being governor * g2230 g5723 of Judaea * g2449, and * g2532 Herod * g2264 being tetrarch * g5075 g5723 of Galilee * g1056, and * g1161 his * g846 brother * g80 Philip * g5376 tetrarch * g5075 g5723 of Ituraea * g2484 and * g2532 of the region * g5561 of Trachonitis * g5139, and * g2532 Lysanias * g3078 the tetrarch * g5075 g5723 of Abilene * g9, tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces
2 Annas * g452 and * g2532 Caiaphas * g2533 being * g1909 the high priests * g749, the word * g4487 of God * g2316 came * g1096 g5633 unto * g1909 John * g2491 the son * g5207 of Zacharias * g2197 in * g1722 the wilderness * g2048.
3 And * g2532 he came * g2064 g5627 into * g1519 all * g3956 the country about * g4066 Jordan * g2446, preaching * g2784 g5723 the baptism * g908 of repentance * g3341 for * g1519 the remission * g859 of sins * g266;
4 As * g5613 it is written * g1125 g5769 in * g1722 the book * g976 of the words * g3056 of Esaias * g2268 the prophet * g4396, saying * g3004 g5723, The voice * g5456 of one crying * g994 g5723 in * g1722 the wilderness * g2048, Prepare ye * g2090 g5657 the way * g3598 of the Lord * g2962, make * g4160 g5720 his * g846 paths * g5147 straight * g2117.
5 Every * g3956 valley * g5327 shall be * g2071 g5704 filled * g4137 g5701, and * g2532 every * g3956 mountain * g3735 and * g2532 hill * g1015 shall be brought low * g5013 g5701; and * g2532 the crooked * g4646 shall be made * g1519 straight * g2117, and * g2532 the rough * g5138 ways * g3598 shall be made * g1519 smooth * g3006;
6 And * g2532 all * g3956 flesh * g4561 shall see * g3700 g5695 the salvation * g4992 of God * g2316.
7 Then * g3767 said * g3004 g5707 he to the multitude * g3793 that came forth * g1607 g5740 to be baptized * g907 g5683 of * g5259 him * g846, O generation * g1081 of vipers * g2191, who * g5101 hath warned * g5263 g5656 you * g5213 to flee * g5343 g5629 from * g575 the wrath * g3709 to come * g3195 g5723?
8 Bring forth * g4160 g5657 therefore * g3767 fruits * g2590 worthy * g514 of repentance * g3341, and * g2532 begin * g756 g5672 not * g3361 to say * g3004 g5721 within * g1722 yourselves * g1438, We have * g2192 g5719 Abraham * g11 to our father * g3962: for * g1063 I say * g3004 g5719 unto you * g5213, That * g3754 God * g2316 is able * g1410 g5736 of * g1537 these * g5130 stones * g3037 to raise up * g1453 g5658 children * g5043 unto Abraham * g11. worthy of: or, meet for
9 And * g1161 now * g2235 also * g2532 the axe * g513 is laid * g2749 g5736 unto * g4314 the root * g4491 of the trees * g1186: every * g3956 tree * g1186 therefore * g3767 which bringeth * g4160 not * g3361 forth * g4160 g5723 good * g2570 fruit * g2590 is hewn down * g1581 g5743, and * g2532 cast * g906 g5743 into * g1519 the fire * g4442.
10 And * g2532 the people * g3793 asked * g1905 g5707 him * g846, saying * g3004 g5723, What * g5101 shall we do * g4160 g5692 then * g3767?
11 He answereth * g611 g5679 and * g1161 saith * g3004 g5719 unto them * g846, He that hath * g2192 g5723 two * g1417 coats * g5509, let him impart * g3330 g5628 to him that hath * g2192 g5723 none * g3361; and * g2532 he that hath * g2192 g5723 meat * g1033, let him do * g4160 g5720 likewise * g3668.
12 Then * g1161 came * g2064 g5627 also * g2532 publicans * g5057 to be baptized * g907 g5683, and * g2532 said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 him * g846, Master * g1320, what * g5101 shall we do * g4160 g5692?
13 And * g1161 he said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 them * g846, Exact * g4238 g5719 no * g3367 more * g4119 than * g3844 that which is appointed * g1299 g5772 you * g5213.
14 And * g1161 the soldiers * g4754 g5734 likewise * g2532 demanded * g1905 g5707 of him * g846, saying * g3004 g5723, And * g2532 what * g5101 shall we * g2249 do * g4160 g5692? And * g2532 he said * g2036 g5627 unto * g4314 them * g846, Do violence * g1286 g5661 to no man * g3367, neither * g3366 accuse any falsely * g4811 g5661; and * g2532 be content * g714 g5744 with your * g5216 wages * g3800. Do violence...: or, Put no man in fear wages: or, allowance
15 And * g1161 as the people * g2992 were in expectation * g4328 g5723, and * g2532 all men * g3956 mused * g1260 g5740 in * g1722 their * g846 hearts * g2588 of * g4012 John * g2491, whether * g3379 he * g846 were * g1498 g5751 the Christ * g5547, or not * g3379; in expectation: or, in suspense mused: or, reasoned, or, debated
16 John * g2491 answered * g611 g5662, saying * g3004 g5723 unto them all * g537, I * g1473 indeed * g3303 baptize * g907 g5719 you * g5209 with water * g5204; but * g1161 one mightier than * g2478 I * g3450 cometh * g2064 g5736, the latchet * g2438 of whose * g3739 * g846 shoes * g5266 I am * g1510 g5748 not * g3756 worthy * g2425 to unloose * g3089 g5658: he * g846 shall baptize * g907 g5692 you * g5209 with * g1722 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 and * g2532 with fire * g4442:
17 Whose * g3739 fan * g4425 is in * g1722 his * g846 hand * g5495, and * g2532 he will throughly purge * g1245 g5692 his * g846 floor * g257, and * g2532 will gather * g4863 g5692 the wheat * g4621 into * g1519 his * g846 garner * g596; but * g1161 the chaff * g892 he will burn * g2618 g5692 with fire * g4442 unquenchable * g762.
18 And * g2532 * g3767 many * g4183 other * g2087 things * g4183 * g3303 in his exhortation * g3870 g5723 preached * g2097 g5710 he unto the people * g2992.
19 But * g1161 Herod * g2264 the tetrarch * g5076, being reproved * g1651 g5746 by * g5259 him * g846 for * g4012 Herodias * g2266 his * g846 brother * g80 Philip's * g5376 wife * g1135, and * g2532 for * g4012 all * g3956 the evils * g4190 which * g3739 Herod * g2264 had done * g4160 g5656,
20 Added * g4369 g5656 yet * g2532 this * g5124 above * g1909 all * g3956, that * g2532 he shut up * g2623 g5656 John * g2491 in * g1722 prison * g5438.
21 Now * g1161 when all * g537 the people * g2992 were baptized * g1722 * g907 g5683, it came to pass * g1096 g5633, that Jesus * g2424 also * g2532 being baptized * g907 g5685, and * g2532 praying * g4336 g5740, the heaven * g3772 was opened * g455 g5683,
22 And * g2532 the Holy * g40 Ghost * g4151 descended * g2597 g5629 in a bodily * g4984 shape * g1491 like * g5616 a dove * g4058 upon * g1909 him * g846, and * g2532 a voice * g5456 came * g1096 g5635 from * g1537 heaven * g3772, which said * g3004 g5723, Thou * g4771 art * g1488 g5748 my * g3450 beloved * g27 Son * g5207; in * g1722 thee * g4671 I am well pleased * g2106 g5656.
23 And * g2532 Jesus * g2424 himself * g846 began * g756 g5734 to be * g2258 g5713 about * g5616 thirty * g5144 years of age * g2094, being g5607 g5752 (as * g5613 was supposed * g3543 g5712) the son * g5207 of Joseph * g2501, which was the son of Heli * g2242,
