1 Anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris, procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam, tetrarcha autem Galiaeae Herode, Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Ituraeae, et Trachonitidis regionis, et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha,
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,
2 sub principibus sacerdotum Anna, et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Ioannem, Zachariae filium, in deserto.
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 Et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis, praedicans baptismum poenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum,
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 sicut scriptum est in Libro sermonum Isaiae prophetae: Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini: rectas facite semitas eius:
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 omnis vallis implebitur: et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa: et aspera in vias planas:
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;
6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira?
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Facite ergo fructus dignos poenitentiae, et ne coeperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae.
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
9 Iam enim securis ad radicem arboris posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur.
And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 Et interrogabant eum turbae, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus?
And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat.
He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath food, let him do likewise.

Then came also tax collectors to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do?
13 At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis.
And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: sed contenti estote stipendiis vestris.
And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Ioanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus:
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
16 respondit Ioannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cuius non sum dignus solvere corigiam calceamentorum: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu sancto, et igne:
John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:
17 cuius ventilabrum in manu eius, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igne inextinguibili.
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 Multa quidem, et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo.
And many other things in his exhortation he preached to the people.
19 Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis, quae fecit Herodes,
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 adiecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Ioannem in carcere.
Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus, et Iesu baptizato, et orante, apertum est caelum:
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 et descendit Spiritus sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum: et vox de caelo facta est: Tu es filius meus dilectus, in te complacui mihi.
And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
