3:1 | Now <1161> in <1722> the fifteenth <4003> year <2094> of the reign <2231> of Tiberius <5086> Caesar <2541>, Pontius <4194> Pilate <4091> being governor <2230> (5723) of Judaea <2449>, and <2532> Herod <2264> being tetrarch <5075> (5723) of Galilee <1056>, and <1161> his <846> brother <80> Philip <5376> tetrarch <5075> (5723) of Ituraea <2484> and <2532> of the region <5561> of Trachonitis <5139>, and <2532> Lysanias <3078> the tetrarch <5075> (5723) of Abilene <9>, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces} |
3:2 | Annas <452> and <2532> Caiaphas <2533> being <1909> the high priests <749>, the word <4487> of God <2316> came <1096> (5633) unto <1909> John <2491> the son <5207> of Zacharias <2197> in <1722> the wilderness <2048>. |
3:3 | And <2532> he came <2064> (5627) into <1519> all <3956> the country about <4066> Jordan <2446>, preaching <2784> (5723) the baptism <908> of repentance <3341> for <1519> the remission <859> of sins <266>; |
3:4 | As <5613> it is written <1125> (5769) in <1722> the book <976> of the words <3056> of Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396>, saying <3004> (5723), The voice <5456> of one crying <994> (5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>, Prepare ye <2090> (5657) the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>, make <4160> (5720) his <846> paths <5147> straight <2117>. |
3:5 | Every <3956> valley <5327> shall be <2071> (5704) filled <4137> (5701), and <2532> every <3956> mountain <3735> and <2532> hill <1015> shall be brought low <5013> (5701); and <2532> the crooked <4646> shall be made <1519> straight <2117>, and <2532> the rough <5138> ways <3598> [shall be] made <1519> smooth <3006>; |
3:6 | And <2532> all <3956> flesh <4561> shall see <3700> (5695) the salvation <4992> of God <2316>. |
3:7 | Then <3767> said <3004> (5707) he to the multitude <3793> that came forth <1607> (5740) (5734) to be baptized <907> (5683) of <5259> him <846>, O generation <1081> of vipers <2191>, who <5101> hath warned <5263> (5656) you <5213> to flee <5343> (5629) from <575> the wrath <3709> to come <3195> (5723)? |
3:8 | Bring forth <4160> (5657) therefore <3767> fruits <2590> worthy <514> of repentance <3341>, and <2532> begin <756> (5672) not <3361> to say <3004> (5721) within <1722> yourselves <1438>, We have <2192> (5719) Abraham <11> to [our] father <3962>: for <1063> I say <3004> (5719) unto you <5213>, That <3754> God <2316> is able <1410> (5736) of <1537> these <5130> stones <3037> to raise up <1453> (5658) children <5043> unto Abraham <11>. {worthy of: or, meet for} |
3:9 | And <1161> now <2235> also <2532> the axe <513> is laid <2749> (5736) unto <4314> the root <4491> of the trees <1186>: every <3956> tree <1186> therefore <3767> which bringeth <4160> (0) not <3361> forth <4160> (5723) good <2570> fruit <2590> is hewn down <1581> (5743), and <2532> cast <906> (5743) into <1519> the fire <4442>. |
3:10 | And <2532> the people <3793> asked <1905> (5707) him <846>, saying <3004> (5723), What <5101> shall we do <4160> (5692) then <3767>? |
3:11 | He answereth <611> (5679) and <1161> saith <3004> (5719) unto them <846>, He that hath <2192> (5723) two <1417> coats <5509>, let him impart <3330> (5628) to him that hath <2192> (5723) none <3361>; and <2532> he that hath <2192> (5723) meat <1033>, let him do <4160> (5720) likewise <3668>. |
3:12 | Then <1161> came <2064> (5627) also <2532> publicans <5057> to be baptized <907> (5683), and <2532> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> him <846>, Master <1320>, what <5101> shall we do <4160> (5692)? |
3:13 | And <1161> he said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Exact <4238> (5719) no <3367> more <4119> than <3844> that which is appointed <1299> (5772) you <5213>. |
3:14 | And <1161> the soldiers <4754> (5734) likewise <2532> demanded <1905> (5707) of him <846>, saying <3004> (5723), And <2532> what <5101> shall we <2249> do <4160> (5692)? And <2532> he said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Do violence <1286> (5661) to no man <3367>, neither <3366> accuse [any] falsely <4811> (5661); and <2532> be content <714> (5744) with your <5216> wages <3800>. {Do violence...: or, Put no man in fear} {wages: or, allowance} |
3:15 | And <1161> as the people <2992> were in expectation <4328> (5723), and <2532> all men <3956> mused <1260> (5740) in <1722> their <846> hearts <2588> of <4012> John <2491>, whether <3379> (0) he <846> were <1498> (5751) the Christ <5547>, or not <3379>; {in expectation: or, in suspense} {mused: or, reasoned, or, debated} |
3:16 | John <2491> answered <611> (5662), saying <3004> (5723) unto [them] all <537>, I <1473> indeed <3303> baptize <907> (5719) you <5209> with water <5204>; but <1161> one mightier than <2478> I <3450> cometh <2064> (5736), the latchet <2438> of whose <3739> <846> shoes <5266> I am <1510> (5748) not <3756> worthy <2425> to unloose <3089> (5658): he <846> shall baptize <907> (5692) you <5209> with <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and <2532> with fire <4442>: |
3:17 | Whose <3739> fan <4425> [is] in <1722> his <846> hand <5495>, and <2532> he will throughly purge <1245> (5692) his <846> floor <257>, and <2532> will gather <4863> (5692) the wheat <4621> into <1519> his <846> garner <596>; but <1161> the chaff <892> he will burn <2618> (5692) with fire <4442> unquenchable <762>. |
3:18 | And <2532> <3767> many <4183> (0) other <2087> things <4183> <3303> in his exhortation <3870> (5723) preached <2097> (5710) he unto the people <2992>. |
3:19 | But <1161> Herod <2264> the tetrarch <5076>, being reproved <1651> (5746) by <5259> him <846> for <4012> Herodias <2266> his <846> brother <80> Philip's <5376> wife <1135>, and <2532> for <4012> all <3956> the evils <4190> which <3739> Herod <2264> had done <4160> (5656), |
3:20 | Added <4369> (5656) yet <2532> this <5124> above <1909> all <3956>, that <2532> he shut up <2623> (5656) John <2491> in <1722> prison <5438>. |
3:21 | Now <1161> when all <537> the people <2992> were baptized <1722> <907> (5683), it came to pass <1096> (5633), that Jesus <2424> also <2532> being baptized <907> (5685), and <2532> praying <4336> (5740), the heaven <3772> was opened <455> (5683), |
3:22 | And <2532> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> descended <2597> (5629) in a bodily <4984> shape <1491> like <5616> a dove <4058> upon <1909> him <846>, and <2532> a voice <5456> came <1096> (5635) from <1537> heaven <3772>, which said <3004> (5723), Thou <4771> art <1488> (5748) my <3450> beloved <27> Son <5207>; in <1722> thee <4671> I am well pleased <2106> (5656). |
3:23 | And <2532> Jesus <2424> himself <846> began <756> (5734) to be <2258> (5713) about <5616> thirty <5144> years of age <2094>, being <5607> (5752) (as <5613> was supposed <3543> (5712)) the son <5207> of Joseph <2501>, which was [the son] of Heli <2242>, |
