< Luke 3 >

1 In year then fifteenth of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when is being governor Pontius Pilate of Judea and when is being tetrarch of Galilee Herod, Philip now the brother when he is being tetrarch of Ituraea and of Trachonitis [the] region and Lysanias of Abilene being tetrarch 2 during ([the] high priesthood *N+kO) of Annas and Caiaphas, came [the] declaration of God upon John the of Zechariah son in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins 4 as it has been written in [the] book of [the] words of Isaiah the prophet (saying: *k) [The] voice of one crying in the wilderness do prepare the way of [the] Lord, straight do make the paths of Him. 5 Every valley will be filled and every mountain and hill will be made low; and will become the crooked into (straight *NK+o) and the rough into ways smooth; 6 and will behold all flesh the salvation of God. 7 He was saying therefore to the coming out crowds to be baptized by him; Offspring of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the soon coming wrath? 8 do produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and not may begin to say in yourselves; [As] father We have Abraham. I say for to you that is able God from stones these to raise up children to Abraham. 9 Already now also the ax to the root of the trees is applied; every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown. 10 And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N+kO) 11 Answering now (he was saying *N+kO) to them; The [one] having two tunics he should impart to the [one] none having and the [one] having food likewise he should do. 12 Came then also tax collectors to be baptized and they said to him; Teacher, what (shall we do? *N+kO) 13 And he said to them; Nothing more beyond that appointed to you do collect. 14 Were asking then him also those being soldiers saying; What (may do *N+kO) also we ourselves And he said (to *k) (to them; *N+kO) No one may extort nor may accuse falsely and do be content with the wages of you. 15 When were expecting then the people and wondering all in the hearts of them concerning John, whether whether he himself would be the Christ, 16 Answered saying ([to] all *N+kO) John: I myself indeed with water baptize you; comes however the [One] mightier than I, of whom not I am worthy to untie the strap of the sandals of Him. He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire, 17 of whom the winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him (and *k) (to scour *N+kO) the threshing floor of Him and (to gather *N+kO) the wheat into the barn of Him. But the chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable. 18 Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising the people. 19 And Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife (of Philip *K) of the brother of him and concerning all that did [the] evils Herod, 20 added yet this to all: Also he locked up John in prison. 21 It came to pass now in baptizing all the people and when Jesus having been baptized and having prayed [was] opening the heaven 22 and descending the Spirit Holy in a bodily form (as *N+kO) a dove upon Him and a voice out of heaven coming (saying: *k) You yourself are the Son of Mine the beloved, in You I am well pleased. 23 And Himself was Jesus beginning about years [old] thirty being son, as was supposed of Joseph of Heli 24 of Matthat of Levi of Melchi of Jannai of Joseph 25 of Mattathias of Amos of Nahum of Esli of Naggai 26 of Maath of Mattathias of Semein (of Josech *N+kO) (of Joda *N+kO) 27 of Joannen of Rhesa of Zerubbabel of Shealtiel of Neri 28 of Melchi of Addi of Cosam of Elmadam of Er 29 (of Joshua *N+kO) of Eliezer of Jorim of Matthat of Levi 30 of Simeon of Judah of Joseph of Jonam of Eliakim 31 of Melea of Menna of Mattatha of Nathan of David 32 of Jesse of Obed of Boaz (of Sala *N+kO) of Nahshon 33 of Amminadab (of Admin *N+KO) (of Arni *NO) of Hezron of Perez of Judah 34 of Jacob of Isaac of Abraham of Terah of Nahor 35 of Serug of Reu of Peleg of Heber of Shelah 36 of Cainan of Arphaxad of Shem of Noah of Lamech 37 of Methuselah of Enoch of Jared of Mahalalel of Cainan 38 of Enosh of Seth of Adam of God.
