Book 42 Luke Chapter 003

 

003:001Now 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,

 

003:002Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

 

003:003And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

 

003:004As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

 

003:005Every 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;

 

003:006And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

 

003:007Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?

 

003:008Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father:
for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.

 

003:009And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every
tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into the fire.

 

003:010And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

 

003:011He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let
him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let
him do likewise.

 

003:012Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
Master, what shall we do?

 

003:013And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
appointed you.

 

003:014And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,
neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

 

003:015And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

 

003:016John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with
water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost and with fire:

 

003:017Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

 

003:018And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
people.

 

003:019But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
done,

 

003:020Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

 

003:021Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

 

003:022And the Holy Ghost 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.

 

003:023And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being
