Luke 3:16-38

161JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them allG3956, “As for me, I baptizeG907 you with waterG5204; but One is comingG2064 who is mightierG2478 than I, and I amG1510 not fitG2425 to untieG3089 the thongG2438 of His sandalsG5266; He will baptizeG907 you 2with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and fireG4442. 17His 3winnowingG4425 forkG4425 is in His handG5495 to thoroughlyG1245 clearG1245 His threshingG257 floorG257, and to gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 into His barnG596; but He will burnG2618 up the chaffG892 with 4unquenchableG762 fireG4442.”

18SoG3767 with manyG4183 otherG2087 exhortationsG3870 he preachedG2097 the gospelG2097 to the peopleG2992. 19But when 5HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5068 was reprimandedG1651 by him becauseG4012 of 6HerodiasG2266, his brother’sG80 wifeG1135, and becauseG4012 of allG3956 the wickedG4190 thingsG4190 whichG3739 7HerodG2264 had doneG4160, 20Herod alsoG2532 addedG4369 thisG3778 to them allG3956: 8he lockedG2623 JohnG2491 up in prisonG5438.

219NowG1161 whenG1722 allG537 the peopleG2992 were baptizedG907, JesusG2424 was alsoG2532 baptizedG907, and while He was 10prayingG4336, heavenG3772 was openedG455, 22and the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 descendedG2597 upon Him in bodilyG4984 formG1491 likeG5613 a doveG4058, and a voiceG5456 cameG1096 out of heavenG3772, “11You are My belovedG27 SonG5207, in You I amG2106 well-pleasedG2106.”

2312When He beganG757 His ministry, JesusG2424 HimselfG846 was aboutG5616 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 of ageG2094, beingG1510, 13as was supposedG3543, the sonG5207 of 14JosephG2501, 15the sonG5207 of 16EliG2242, 24the son of MatthatG3158, the son of LeviG3017, the son of MelchiG3197, the son of JannaiG2388, the son of JosephG2501, 25the son of MattathiasG3161, the son of AmosG301, the son of NahumG3486, the son of 17HesliG2069, the son of NaggaiG3477, 26the son of MaathG3092, the son of MattathiasG3161, the son of SemeinG4584, the son of JosechG2502, the son of JodaG2493, 27the son of JoananG2489, the son of RhesaG4488, 18the son of ZerubbabelG2216, the son of 19ShealtielG4528, the son of NeriG3518, 28the son of MelchiG3197, the son of AddiG78, the son of CosamG2973, the son of ElmadamG1678, the son of ErG2262, 29the son of 20JoshuaG2424, the son of EliezerG1663, the son of JorimG2497, the son of MatthatG3103, the son of LeviG3017, 30the son of SimeonG4826, the son of 21JudahG2455, the son of JosephG2501, the son of JonamG2494, the son of EliakimG1662, 31the son of MeleaG3190, the son of MennaG3303, the son of MattathaG3160, the son of NathanG3481, the son of DavidG1160, 3222the son of JesseG2421, the son of ObedG2492, the son of BoazG1003, the son of 23SalmonG4533, the son of 24NahshonG3476, 33the son of AmminadabG284, the son of AdminG96, the son of 25RamG689, the son of HezronG2074, the son of PerezG5329, the son of JudahG2455, 34the son of JacobG2384, the son of IsaacG2464, 26the son of AbrahamG11, the son of TerahG2291, the son of NahorG3493, 35the son of SerugG4588, the son of 27ReuG4466, the son of PelegG5317, the son of 28HeberG1443, the son of ShelahG4527, 36the son of CainanG2536, the son of ArphaxadG742, the son of ShemG4590, 29the son of NoahG3575, the son of LamechG2984, 37the son of MethuselahG3103, the son of EnochG1802, the son of JaredG2391, the son of MahalaleelG3121, the son of CainanG2536, 38the son of EnoshG1800, the son of SethG4589, the son of AdamG76, the son of GodG2316.
