1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilatewas governor of Judea, and Herodwas tetrarch of Galileeand his brother Philipwas tetrarch of the region of Ituraeaand Trachonitis, and Lysaniaswas tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high priesthood of Annasand Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance 3:3 Or with reference tofor the forgiveness of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiahthe prophet:
"The voice of one calling3:4 Or out, Prepare in the wilderness the wayout in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight!
5 ‘Every ravine will be filled,
And every mountain and hill will be lowered;
The crooked will become straight,
And the rough roads smooth;
6 And all3:6 I.e., mankindflesh will see the salvation of God!’ "
7 So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, "You 3:7 Or broodoffspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and do not start saying 3:8 Or amongto yourselves, ‘We have Abrahamas our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham. 9 But indeed the axe is already being laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
10 And the crowds were questioning him, saying, "Then what are we to do?" 11 And he would answer and say to them, "The one who has two 3:11 A long shirt worn next to the skintunics is to share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise." 12 Now even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what are we to do?" 13 And he said to them, "3:13 Lit DoCollect no more than what you have been ordered to." 14 And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "What are we to do, we as well?" And he said to them, "Do not extort money from anyone, nor 3:14 Or blackmailharass anyone, and be content with your wages."
15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John, whether he himself perhaps was the 3:15 I.e., MessiahChrist, 16 Johnresponded to them all, saying, "As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you 3:16 The Gr here can be translated in, with, or bywith the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
18 So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people. 19 But when Herodthe tetrarch was reprimanded by him regarding Herodias, his brother’s wife, and regarding all the evil things which Herodhad done, 20 Herodalso added this to them all: he locked Johnup in prison.
Jesus Is Baptized
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesusalso was baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased."
