Luke 3

1NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG3588G2231 of TiberiusG5086 CæsarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudæaG3588G2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG3588G1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG3588G9,

2AnnasG452 andG2532 CaiaphasG2533 beingG1909 the high priestsG749, the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 untoG1909 JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of ZachariasG3588G2197 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.

3AndG2532 he cameG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 the country aboutG4066 JordanG3588G2446, preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266;

4AsG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG3588G4396, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3588G3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG3588G5147 straightG2117.

5EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall be filledG4137, andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 hillG1015 shall be brought lowG5013; andG2532 the crookedG4646 shall be madeG1510 straightG2117, andG2532 the roughG5138 waysG3598 shall be madeG1519 smoothG3006;

6AndG2532 allG3956 fleshG4561 shall seeG3708 the salvationG4992 of GodG3588G2316.

7ThenG3767 said heG3004 to the multitudeG3793 that came forthG1607 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG4771 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?

8Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3588G3341, andG2532 beginG756 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 toG3962 our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 GodG3588G2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG3778 stonesG3588G3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.

9AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG3588G513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG3588G4491 of the treesG3588G1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.

10AndG2532 the peopleG3588G3793 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 thenG3767?

11He answerethG611 andG1161 saithG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 twoG1417 coatsG5509, let him impartG3330 to him that hathG2192 noneG3361; andG2532 he that hathG2192 meatG1033, let him doG4160 likewiseG3668.

12ThenG1161 cameG2064 alsoG2532 publicansG5057 to be baptizedG907, andG2532 saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, MasterG1320, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?

13AndG1161 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, ExactG4238 noG3367 moreG4119 thanG3844 that which is appointedG3588G1299 youG4771.

14AndG1161 the soldiersG4754 likewiseG2532 demandedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, AndG2532 whatG5101 shallG4160 weG1473 doG4160? AndG2532 he saidG3004 untoG4314 themG846, Do violence toG1286 no manG3367, neitherG3366 accuseG4811 any falselyG4811; andG2532 be contentG714 withG3588G3800 yourG4771 wagesG3588G3800.

15AndG1161 as the peopleG3588G2992 were in expectationG4328, andG2532 all menG3956 musedG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG3588G2588 ofG4012 JohnG3588G2491, whetherG3379 heG846 wereG1510 the ChristG3588G5547, or notG3379;

16JohnG3588G2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 untoG537 them allG537, IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG4771 with waterG5204; butG1161 one mightier thanG2478 IG1473 comethG2064, the latchetG3588G2438 of whoseG3739 shoesG3588G5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to unlooseG3089: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG4771 withG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with fireG4442:

17WhoseG3739 fanG3588G4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG3588G5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG3588G257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG3588G4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG3588G596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.

18AndG2532 manyG4183 other thingsG2087 in his exhortationG3870 preached heG2097 unto the peopleG3588G2992.

19ButG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG3588G5076, being reprovedG1651 byG5259 himG846 forG4012 HerodiasG2266 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 Philip’sG5376 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 forG4012 allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG3588G2264 had doneG4160,

20AddedG4369 yetG2532 thisG3778 aboveG1909 allG3956, thatG2532 he shut upG2623 JohnG3588G2491 inG1722 prisonG3588G5438.

21NowG1161 whenG1722 allG537 the peopleG3588G2992 were baptizedG907, it came to passG1096, that JesusG2424 alsoG2532 being baptizedG907, andG2532 prayingG4336, the heavenG3588G3772 was openedG455,

22AndG2532 theG3588G4151 HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1510 myG1473 belovedG27 SonG3588G5207; inG1722 theeG4771 I am well pleasedG2106.

23AndG2532 JesusG3588G2424 himselfG846 beganG756 to beG1510 aboutG5616 thirtyG5144 years of ageG2094, beingG1510 (asG5613 was supposedG3543) the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, which wasG3588G2242 the son of HeliG3588G2242,
