ABP_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

2 G1909 with G749 chief priests G* Annas G2532 and G* Caiaphas, G1096 came G4487 the word G2316 of God G1909 unto G* John G3588 the G3588 G* son of Zacharias G5207 G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

3 G2532 And G2064 he went G1519 into G3956 all G3588 the G4066 place round about G3588 the G* Jordan G2784 proclaiming G908 an immersion G3341 of repentance G1519 for G859 a release G266 of sins;

4 G5613 as G1125 it has been written G1722 in G976 the book G3056 of the words G* of Isaiah G3588 the G4396 prophet, G3004 saying, G5456 A voice G994 yelling G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness, G2090 Prepare G3588 the G3598 way G2962 of the Lord! G2117 [²straight G4160 ¹Make] G3588 G5147 his roads! G1473

5 G3956 Every G5327 ravine G4137 shall be filled, G2532 and G3956 every G3735 mountain G2532 and G1015 hill G5013 shall be lowered; G2532 and G1510.8.3 [³will be G3588 ¹the G4646 ²crooked] G1519 for G2117 straight, G2532 and G3588 the G5138 rough G1519 for G3598 [²ways G3006 ¹smooth];

6 G2532 and G3708 [³shall see G3956 ¹all G4561 ²flesh] G3588 the G4992 deliverance G3588 G2316 of God.

7 G3004 He said G3767 then G3588 to the G1607 [²coming forth G3793 ¹multitudes] G907 to be immersed G5259 by G1473 him, G1081 Offspring G2191 of vipers, G5100 who G5263 indicated G1473 to you G5343 to flee G575 from G3588 the G3195 [²about to be G3709 ¹wrath]?

8 G4160 Do G3767 then G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3588 of the G3341 repentance! G2532 For G3361 you should not G756 begin G3004 to say G1722 among G1438 yourselves, G3962 [²father G2192 ¹We have] G3588 G* Abraham; G3004 for I say G1063 G1473 to you, G3754 that G1410 God is able G3588 G2316 G1537 from out of G3588 G3037 these stones G3778 G1453 to raise G5043 children G3588 to G* Abraham.

9 G2235 But already G1161 G2532 even G3588 the G513 axe G4314 [²at G3588 ³the G4491 ⁴root G3588 ⁵of the G1186 ⁶trees G2749 ¹is situated]. G3956 Every G3767 tree then G1186 G3361 not G4160 producing G2590 [²fruit G2570 ¹good] G1581 is cut down, G2532 and G1519 [²into G4442 ³ the fire G906 ¹thrown].

10 G2532 And G1905 [³asked G1473 ⁴him G3588 ¹the G3793 ²multitudes], G3004 saying, G5100 What G3767 then G4160 shall we do?

11 G611 And answering G1161 G3004 he says G1473 to them, G3588 The one G2192 having G1417 two G5509 inner garments, G3330 share G3588 with the one G3361 not G2192 having! G2532 And G3588 the one G2192 having G1033 foods, G3668 in like manner G4160 do!

12 G2064 And there came G1161 G2532 also G5057 tax collectors G907 to be immersed, G2532 and G2036 they said G4314 to G1473 him, G1320 Teacher, G5100 what G4160 shall we do?

13 G3588 And he G1161 G2036 said G4314 to G1473 them, G3367 [²nothing G4183 ³more G3844 ⁴beyond G3588 ⁵that G1299 ⁶being set in order G1473 ⁷to you G4238 ¹exact]!

14 G1905 [³asked G1161 ¹And G1473 ⁴him G2532 ⁵also G4754 ²soldiers], G3004 saying, G2532 And G1473 we, G5100 what G4160 shall we do? G2532 And G2036 he said G4314 to G1473 them, G3367 No one G1286 should you shake up G3366 nor G4811 extort, G2532 and G714 let [²be sufficient G3588 G3800 ¹your rations]! G1473

15 G4328 [⁴were expecting G1161 ¹And G3588 ²the G2992 ³people], G2532 and G1260 all were reasoning G3956 G1722 in G3588 G2588 their hearts G1473 G4012 concerning G3588 G* John, G3379 if perhaps G1473 he G1510.4 may be G3588 the G5547 Christ.

16 G611 John answered G3588 G* G537 all together, G3004 saying, G1473 I G3303 indeed G5204 [³in water G907 ¹immerse G1473 ²you], G2064 but comes G1161 G3588 the one G2478 stronger than G1473 me, G3739 of whom G3756 I am not G1510.2.1 G2425 fit G3089 to untie G3588 the G2438 strap G3588 G5266 of his sandals; G1473 G1473 he G1473 will immerse you G907 G1722 in G4151 [²spirit G39 ¹holy] G2532 and G4442 in fire;

17 G3739 of whom G3588 the G4425 winnowing fan G1722 is in G3588 G5495 his hand, G1473 G2532 and G1245 he will thoroughly cleanse G3588 G257 his threshing-floor; G1473 G2532 and G4863 he will gather G3588 the G4621 grain G1519 into G3588 G596 his storehouse; G1473 G3588 and the G1161 G892 straw G2618 he will incinerate with G4442 [²fire G762 ¹inextinguishable].

18 G4183 [⁴many G3303 ²indeed G3767 ³then G2532 ¹And] G2087 other things G3870 comforting G2097 he announced good news to G3588 the G2992 people.

19 G3588 G1161 But G* Herod G3588 the G5076 tetrarch, G1651 being reproved G5259 by G1473 him G4012 concerning G* Herodias G3588 the G1135 wife G3588 G80 of his brother G1473 G* Philip, G2532 and G4012 concerning G3956 all G3739 [²which G4160 ⁴did G4190 ¹ the evils G3588 G* ³Herod],

20 G4369 added G2532 also G3778 this G1909 unto G3956 all -- G2532 that G2623 he imprisoned G3588 G* John G1722 in G3588 the G5438 prison.

2 G452 Annas G2532 and G2533 Caiaphas G1909 being G749 the high priests, G4487 the utterance G2316 of God G1096 [G5633] came G1909 to G2491 John G5207 the son G2197 of Zacharias G1722 in G2048 the wilderness.

3 G2532 And G2064 [G5627] he came G1519 into G3956 all G4066 the region about G2446 Jordan, G2784 [G5723] proclaiming G908 the baptism G3341 of a change of mind G1519 for G859 the remission G266 of sins;

4 G5613 As G1125 [G5769] it is written G1722 in G976 the book G3056 of the words G2268 of Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G3004 [G5723] saying, G5456 The voice G994 [G5723] of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G2090 [G5657] Prepare ye G3598 the way G2962 of the Lord, G4160 [G5720] make G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

5 G3956 Every G5327 valley G2071 [G5704] shall be G4137 [G5701] filled, G2532 and G3956 every G3735 mountain G2532 and G1015 hill G5013 [G5701] shall be brought low; G2532 and G4646 the crooked G1519 shall be made G2117 straight, G2532 and G5138 the rough G3598 ways G1519 shall be made G3006 smooth;

6 G2532 And G3956 all G4561 flesh G3700 [G5695] shall see G4992 the salvation G2316 of God.

7 G3767 Then G3004 [G5707] said G3793 he to the crowd G1607 [G5740] that came forth G907 [G5683] to be baptized G5259 by G846 him, G1081 O generation G2191 of vipers, G5101 who G5263 [G5656] hath plainly showed G5213 you G5343 [G5629] to flee G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 [G5723] to come?

8 G4160 [G5657] Bring forth G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3588 of the G3341 change of mind, G2532 and G756 [G5672] begin G3361 not G3004 [G5721] to say G1722 within G1438 yourselves, G2192 [G5719] We have G11 Abraham G3962 for our father: G1063 for G3004 [G5719] I say G5213 to you, G3754 That G2316 God G1410 [G5736] is able G1537 of G5130 these G3037 stones G1453 [G5658] to raise up G5043 children G11 to Abraham.

9 G1161 And G2235 now G2532 also G513 the axe G2749 [G5736] is laid G4314 to G4491 the root G1186 of the trees: G3956 every G1186 tree G3767 therefore G4160 0 which bringeth G3361 not G4160 [G5723] forth G2570 good G2590 fruit G1581 [G5743] is hewn down, G2532 and G906 [G5743] cast G1519 into G4442 the fire.

10 G2532 And G3588 the G3793 crowds G1905 [G5707] asked G846 him, G3004 [G5723] saying, G5101 What G4160 [G5692] shall we do G3767 then?

11 G611 [G5679] He answereth G1161 and G3004 [G5719] saith G846 to them, G2192 [G5723] He that hath G1417 two G5509 coats, G3330 [G5628] let him impart G2192 [G5723] to him that hath G3361 none; G2532 and G2192 [G5723] he that hath G1033 food, G4160 [G5720] let him do G3668 likewise.

12 G1161 Then G2064 [G5627] came G2532 also G5057 tax collectors G907 [G5683] to be baptized, G2532 and G2036 [G5627] said G4314 to G846 him, G1320 Teacher, G5101 what G4160 [G5692] shall we do?

13 G1161 And G2036 [G5627] he said G4314 to G846 them, G4238 [G5719] Exact G3367 no G4119 more G3844 than G1299 [G5772] that which is appointed G5213 you.

14 G1161 And G4754 [G5734] the soldiers G2532 likewise G1905 [G5707] asked G846 him, G3004 [G5723] saying, G2532 And G5101 what G2249 shall we G4160 [G5692] do? G2532 And G2036 [G5627] he said G4314 to G846 them, G1286 [G5661] Thoroughly shake G3367 no man, G3366 neither G4811 [G5661] accuse any falsely; G2532 and G714 [G5744] be satisfied G5216 with your G3800 rations.

15 G1161 And G3588 as the G2992 people G4328 [G5723] were in expectation, G2532 and G3956 all men G1260 [G5740] mused G1722 in G3588 G846 their G2588 hearts G4012 concerning G3588 G2491 John, G3379 0 whether G846 he G1498 [G5751] may be G3588 the G5547 Anointed, G3379 or not;

16 G2491 John G611 [G5662] answered, G3004 [G5723] saying G537 to them all, G1473 I G3303 indeed G907 [G5719] baptize G5209 you G5204 in water; G1161 but G2478 one stronger than G3450 I G2064 [G5736] cometh, G2438 the latchet G3739 G846 of whose G5266 shoes G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G2425 competent G3089 [G5658] to loose: G846 he G907 [G5692] shall baptize G5209 you G1722 in G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G2532 and G4442 in fire:

17 G3739 Whose G4425 fan G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand, G2532 and G1245 [G5692] he will thoroughly cleanse G846 his G257 floor, G2532 and G4863 [G5692] will gather G4621 the grain G1519 into G846 his G596 barn; G1161 but G892 the chaff G2618 [G5692] he will burn G4442 with fire G762 unquenchable.

18 G2532 G3767 And G4183 0 many G2087 other G4183 G3303 things G3870 [G5723] in his exhortation G2097 [G5710] he announced good news G2992 to the people.

19 G1161 But G2264 Herod G5076 the tetrarch, G1651 [G5746] being reproved G5259 by G846 him G4012 on account of G2266 Herodias G846 his G80 brother G5376 Philip's G1135 wife, G2532 and G4012 for G3956 all G4190 the evils G3739 which G2264 Herod G4160 [G5656] had done,

20 G4369 [G5656] Added G2532 yet G5124 this G1909 above G3956 all, G2532 that G2623 [G5656] he shut up G2491 John G1722 in G5438 prison.

Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ² sub principibus sacerdotum Anna et Caipha: factum est verbum Domini super Joannem, Zachariæ filium, in deserto. ³ Et venit in omnem regionem Jordanis, prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum, ⁴ sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Isaiæ prophetæ: [Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini; rectas facite semitas ejus: ⁵ omnis vallis implebitur, et omnis mons, et collis humiliabitur: et erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas: ⁶ et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei.] ⁷ Dicebat ergo ad turbas quæ exibant ut baptizarentur ab ipso: Genimina viperarum, quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira? ⁸ Facite ergo fructus dignos pœnitentiæ, et ne cœperitis dicere: Patrem habemus Abraham. Dico enim vobis quia potens est Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahæ. ⁹ Jam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est. Omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum bonum, excidetur, et in ignem mittetur. ¹⁰ Et interrogabant eum turbæ, dicentes: Quid ergo faciemus? ¹¹ Respondens autem dicebat illis: Qui habet duas tunicas, det non habenti: et qui habet escas, similiter faciat. ¹² Venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur, et dixerunt ad illum: Magister, quid faciemus? ¹³ At ille dixit ad eos: Nihil amplius, quam quod constitutum est vobis, faciatis. ¹⁴ Interrogabant autem eum et milites, dicentes: Quid faciemus et nos? Et ait illis: Neminem concutiatis, neque calumniam faciatis: et contenti estote stipendiis vestris. ¹⁵ Existimante autem populo, et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Joanne, ne forte ipse esset Christus, ¹⁶ respondit Joannes, dicens omnibus: Ego quidem aqua baptizo vos: veniet autem fortior me, cujus non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calceamentorum ejus: ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni: ¹⁷ cujus ventilabrum in manu ejus, et purgabit aream suam, et congregabit triticum in horreum suum, paleas autem comburet igni inextinguibili. ¹⁸ Multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populo. ¹⁹ Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui, et de omnibus malis quæ fecit Herodes, ²⁰ adjecit et hoc super omnia, et inclusit Joannem in carcere.

For I say unto you: God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. ⁹ Now also is the axe laid unto the root of the trees: So that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire." ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?" ¹¹ He answered and said unto them, "He that hath two coats, let him part with him that hath none: And he that hath meat, let him do likewise." ¹² Then came there publicans to be baptised, and said unto him, "Master, what shall we do?" ¹³ And he said unto them, "Require no more than that which is appointed unto you." ¹⁴ The soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, "And what shall we do?"

For I say unto you that God is able of these stones, to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do? ¹¹ And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner. ¹² And the publicans also came to be baptized and said to him: Master, what shall we do? ¹³ But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do?

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; ⁴ As 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. ⁵ 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 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ Then 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? ⁸ Bring 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. ⁹ And 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. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He 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. ¹² Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do?

3 G2532 And G2064 he came [G5627] G1519 into G3956 all G4066 the country about G2446 Jordan G2784 , preaching [G5723] G908 the baptism G3341 of repentance G1519 for G859 the remission G266 of sins;

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ² under the pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas, JOHN, the son of Zacharias, received his divine commission in the wilderness. ³ in pursuance of which, he went into all the country about Jordan, exhorting all to repent and be baptized, in order to obtain the remission of their sins. ⁴ as it is written in the book of the prophecies of Esaias, "the voice of one crying in the desart, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths clear. ⁵ every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be level'd: the crooked shall be made strait, and the rough ways shall be made smooth, ⁶ and all men shall behold the divine saviour." ⁷ he said therefore to the people that crowded to be baptized by him, ye brood of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from approaching wrath? ⁸ let your actions therefore show your repentance, and don't pretend to say within yourselves, "we have Abraham for our father:" for I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ the ax is already laid to the root of the trees: every tree then, which does not produce good fruit, shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ Upon which the people asked him, what then shall we do? ¹¹ he answer'd them, let him that hath two coats give one to him that hath none; and let him that has plenty of provisions act in like manner. ¹² the Publicans likewise came to be baptized, and said to him, master, how are we to act? ¹³ exact, said he, no more than what the law requires. ¹⁴ the soldiers too made the same demand, how are we to act? he answer'd them, injure no man either by violence or by fraud, and be content with your pay. ¹⁵ As the people were in suspence, every man imagining in his own mind that John might be the Messiah; ¹⁶ he address'd himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water; but there is one coming, who is superiour to me, whose shoes I am unworthy to untie: he shall baptize you with the holy spirit, under the appearance of fire. ¹⁷ and with the fan in his hand he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will lay up the wheat in his grainery: but the chaff he will burn with inextinguishable fire. ¹⁸ many other things he delivered to the people in his exhortations. ¹⁹ but having reproved Herod the tetrarch upon account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the mischiefs that Herod had done; ²⁰ to compleat all the rest, Herod confin'd John in prison.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ² under the high priest Annas; and Caiphas, the word of God was unto John, the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came in to all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins; ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make your paths straight. ⁵ 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 And all flesh shall see the salvation of the Lord. ⁷ But he said to the multitude that came forth to be baptized before him, ye brood of vipers, who hath [s]hewed you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within your selves, We have Abraham for [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise children unto Abraham. ⁹ But the ax is already laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruits, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying, What therefore shall we do, that we may be saved? ¹¹ He 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. ¹² But the publican, came in like manner to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do, that we may be saved? ¹³ But he said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed you to exact. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also demanded saying, What shall we do that we may be saved?But he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse falsly, and be content with your allowances. ¹⁵ And as the people were in expectation, and all mused in their hearts of John, whether he were not the Christ, ¹⁶ He knowing their thoughts said, I baptize you unto repentance in water; but he that cometh is mightier than I, the latchet of his shoe I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. ¹⁷ Whose fan [is] in his hand[,] and he will throughly purge the floor, and will indeed gather the wheat into the garner;but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenched. ¹⁸ Many other things indeed therefore in [his] admonition preached he also unto the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brothers wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, ²⁰ Added also this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas being the high priest and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins: ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵ 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 smooth: And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁶ Then said he to the multitudes, ⁷ that came forth to be baptized of him, Ye brood of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and say not within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father; for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And now also the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitude asked him, saying, What then shall we do?

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being high priests, the word of God came unto John the Son of Zacharias in the wilderness: ³ and he went into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of Esaias the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight: ⁵ every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth: ⁶ and all men shall see the salvation of God." ⁷ Therefore said he to the multitudes that came to be baptised by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits becoming penitents, and do not say within yourselves, "We have Abraham for our father," for I tell you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And now the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which doth not yield good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ And he saith unto them, Let him that hath two coats, give one to him that hath none, and let him that hath food do the like. ¹² And there came publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And He said unto them, Exact no more than what is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked 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 pay. ¹⁵ Now as the people were in suspense, and were all thinking in their hearts concerning John, whether he were the Christ or not, ¹⁶ John answered and said to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but a mightier than I is coming, whose shoes I am not worthy to untie: He will baptize you with the holy Spirit, and with fire; ¹⁷ whose fan is in his hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ And many other things by way of exhortation did he preach unto the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the wicked things which Herod did, ²⁰ added this likewise to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ² when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness; ³ and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths strait: ⁵ every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth: ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." ⁷ He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath? ⁸ Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ But now is the ax laid even to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that produceth not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner. ¹² Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you. ¹⁴ And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay. ¹⁵ Now when the people were in expectation, and many reasoned in their hearts respecting John, whether he were the Messiah, ¹⁶ John addressed himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost and with fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ Thus in many and various discourses exhorting them, he preached the glad tidings of the gospel to the people. ¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done, ²⁰ added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the pontificate of Annas and Caiaphas, a word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness, ³ and he went into all the country along the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation for a forgiveness of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, "A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord: make the roads for him straight. ⁵ Let every valley be filled up; and every mountain and hill levelled; and let the crooked be made a straight road, and the rough ways, smooth. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God." ⁷ Therefore to the multitudes who came out to be baptized by him, he said, Offspring of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the impending wrath? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of this reformation: and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ Now, indeed, the axe is at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore which doth not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And when the people asked him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ He in reply, said to them, Let him who hath two coats impart to him who hath none: and let him who hath provisions, do the same. ¹² And when publicans came to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ He said to them, Exact no more than what is enjoined you. ¹⁴ And when soldiers asked him, saying, And what shall we do? He said to them, Injure no man, either by violence or false accusation, and be content with your wages. ¹⁵ And as the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their minds concerning John, That he perhaps might be The Christ, ¹⁶ John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, baptize you in water; but there is one coming; who is mightier than I; the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you in a holy spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing instrument is in his hand; and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather together the wheat for his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ Thus, with many other exhortations, he published the glad tidings to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod, the tetrarch, being reproved by him, for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the crimes which he had committed, ²⁰ added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins; ⁴ 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 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 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ 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 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 And now also the ax 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 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise. ¹² Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said to him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do?

6 G2532 And G3956 all G4561 flesh G3700 [G5695] shall see G4992 the salvation G2316 of God.

10 G2532 And G3793 the people G1905 [G5707] asked G846 him G3004 [G5723] , saying G5101 , What G4160 [G5692] shall we do G3767 then?

11 G611 [G5679] He answereth G1161 and G3004 [G5719] saith G846 to them G2192 [G5723] , He that hath G1417 two G5509 coats G3330 [G5628] , let him impart G2192 [G5723] to him that hath G3361 none G2532 ; and G2192 [G5723] he that hath G1033 food G4160 [G5720] , let him do G3668 likewise.

13 G1161 And G2036 [G5627] he said G4314 to G846 them G4238 [G5719] , Exact G3367 no G4119 more G3844 than G1299 [G5772] that which is appointed G5213 you.

14 G1161 And G4754 [G5734] the soldiers G2532 likewise G1905 [G5707] asked G846 him G3004 [G5723] , saying G2532 , And G5101 what G2249 shall we G4160 [G5692] do G2532 ?

15 G1161 And G2992 as the people G4328 [G5723] were in expectation G2532 , and G3956 all men G1260 [G5740] mused G1722 in G846 their G2588 hearts G4012 concerning G2491 John G3379 0 , whether G846 he G1498 [G5751] was G5547 the Christ G3379 , or not;

16 G2491 John G611 [G5662] answered G3004 [G5723] , saying G537 to them all G1473 , I G3303 indeed G907 [G5719] baptize G5209 you G5204 in water G1161 ; but G2478 one mightier than G3450 I G2064 [G5736] cometh G2438 , the latchet G3739 G846 of whose G5266 shoes G1510 [G5748] I am G3756 not G2425 worthy G3089 [G5658] to loose G846 : he G907 [G5692] shall baptize G5209 you G1722 in G40 the Holy G4151 Spirit G2532 and G4442 in fire:

17 G3739 Whose G4425 fan G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand G2532 , and G1245 [G5692] he will thoroughly cleanse G846 his G257 floor G2532 , and G4863 [G5692] will gather G4621 the wheat G1519 into G846 his G596 barn G1161 ; but G892 the chaff G2618 [G5692] he will burn G4442 with fire G762 unquenchable.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he went through all the country along the Jordan, publishing the immersion of reformation for the remission of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage. ⁵ Let every valley be filled, every mountain and hill be leveled; let the crooked roads be made straight, and the rough ways smooth, ⁶ that all flesh may see the salvation of God." ⁷ Then said he to the multitudes, who flocked out to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who has prompted you to flee from the impending vengeance? ⁸ Produce, then, the proper fruits of reformation; and say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I assure you, that of these stones God can raise children to Abraham. ⁹ And even now the ax lies at the root of the trees. Every tree, therefore, which produces not good fruit, is cut down, and thrown into the fire. ¹⁰ Upon this, the multitude asked him, What must we do then? ¹¹ He answered, Let him who has two coats, impart to him who has none; and let him who has victuals do the same. ¹² There came also publicans to be immersed, who said, Rabbi, what must we do? ¹³ He answered, Exact no more than what is appointed you. ¹⁴ Soldiers likewise asked him, And what must we do? He answered, Injure no man, either by violence, or false accusation, and be content with your allowance. ¹⁵ As the people were in suspense concerning John, every man imagining within himself that he might be the Messiah, ¹⁶ John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, immerse in water; but one mightier than I comes, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to untie; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ his winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his grain; he will gather the wheat into his granary, and consume the chaff in unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ And with many other exhortations, he published the good tidings to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod, the tetrarch, having been reproved by him, on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the crimes which Herod had committed, ²⁰ added this to the number, that he confined John in prison.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Chanan and of Kaiopha, was the word of Aloha unto Juchanon bar Zakaria in the desert. ³ And he came into the whole country about the Jurdan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Eshaia the prophet, who said, The voice which crieth in the desert, prepare the way of the Lord, and make straight in the plain the highways for our Aloha. ⁵ All valleys shall be filled, and all mountains and heights be brought low, and the mound shall be a level (place), and the rough place a plain, ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of Aloha. ⁷ And he said to those multitudes who came to him to be baptized, O brood of vipers, who hath showed you to flee from the wrath that cometh? ⁸ Work therefore fruits which are worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves that Abraham is father to us; for I tell you, that from these stones Aloha is able to raise up sons unto Abraham. ⁹ But, behold, the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore which good fruit maketh not, is cut down and into the fire falleth. ¹⁰ And the assemblies inquired of him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, Whoever hath two tunics, let him give to him who hath none; and whoever hath food, so let him do (likewise). ¹² The publicans [Mokasee.] also came to be baptized, and they said to him, Malphona, what shall we do? ¹³ But he said to them, Demand not any thing more upon what is prescribed to you to require. ¹⁴ And the military servants asked of him and said, What shall we also do? And he said to them, Molest no man, oppress no man, and let your wages satisfy you. ¹⁵ But while the people thought concerning Juchanon, and all of them reasoned in their hearts whether he were the Meshicha, ¹⁶ Juchanon answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with waters, but there cometh after me He who is mightier than I; He, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose; He shall baptize you with the Spirit of Holiness and with fire: ¹⁷ He who, holding the fan in his hand, and cleansing his floors, gathereth the wheat into his garners, and the chaff he will burn in the fire which is not quenched. ¹⁸ But many other things he also taught and preached to the people. ¹⁹ But Herodes Tetrarka, because he was reproved by Juchanon concerning Herodia the wife of Philipos his brother, and concerning all the evil things which he had done, ²⁰ added this also upon all, and shut up Juchanon in the house of the chained.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and of Caiaphas; the word of God was upon John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God. ⁵ All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the life which is of God. ⁷ And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath? ⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruits comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to Abraham. ⁹ And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same. ¹² And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact. ¹⁴ And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you. ¹⁵ And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah; ¹⁶ John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ He holdeth his winnowing shovel in his hand, and he will make clean his threshing floor; and the wheat he gathereth into his garners, and the chaff he will burn with fire not extinguished. ¹⁸ And many other things also, he taught and proclaimed to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he had done, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ² under the chief priest Annas, and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of a change of mind for the forgiveness of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet; A voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵ Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ ^(4:2) Then John said to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bear fruits, therefore, worthy of a change of mind. And say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father; for I tell you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And already also the axe lies at the root of the trees; every tree therefore which bears not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ And he answered and said to them, Let him that has two coats give to him that has none; and let him that has food do the same. ¹² And publicans, also, came to be baptized, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Do nothing more than is appointed for you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Oppress, and falsely accuse, no one; and be contented with your wages. ¹⁵ ^(4:3) And the people being in expectation, and all doubting in their minds concerning John, whether he was the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water, but a mightier than I is coming, the strings of whose shoes I am not fit to untie; he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather the wheat into his storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with an inextinguishable fire. ¹⁸ ^(4:4) With many other exhortations, also, he preached the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias his brother's wife and for all the evil deeds which Herod had done, ²⁰ added also this to all, and shut up John in prison.

Diaglott⁽ⁱ⁾ ² under high-priests Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God to John, the of Zacharias son, in the desert. ³ And he went into all the country about the Jordan, preaching a dipping of reformation into a forgiveness of sins; ⁴ as it is written in a book of words of Esaias the prophet, saying: A voice crying in the desert; Make you ready the way of a Lord, straight make you the beaten tracks of him. ⁵ Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and shall be the crooked into straight; and the rough into ways smooth; ⁶ and shall see all flesh the salvation of the God. ⁷ He said then to those coming out of crowds to be dipped by him: O broods of venomous serpents, who pointed out to you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth then fruits worthy of the reformation; and not you should begin to say in yourselves: A father we have the Abraham. I say for to you, that is able the God out of the stones of these to rise up children to the Abraham. ⁹ Now and even the axe to the root of the trees is placed; every therefore tree not bearing fruit good, is cut down, and into the fire is cast. ¹⁰ And asked him the crowds, saying: What then should we do? ¹¹ Answering and he says to them: He having two tunics, let him share with the not having; and he having meats, in like manner let him do. ¹² Came and also tax-gathers to be dipped, and said to him: O teacher, what should we do? ¹³ He said to them: Nothing more from that having been appointed to you collect you. ¹⁴ Asked and him also soldiers, saying: And we what should we do? And he said to them: No one may you extort from, neither may you accuse wrongfully; and be you content with the wages of you. ¹⁵ Expecting and of the people, and reasoning all in the hearts of them about the John, whether he were the Anointed, ¹⁶ answered the John to all saying: I indeed in water dip you; comes but the mightier of me, of whom not I am worthy to loose the strap of the sandals of him; he you will dip in spirit holy and fire. ¹⁷ Of whom the winnowing shovel in the hand of him, and he will thoroughly cleanse the floor of him; and he will gather the wheat into the storehouse of himself, the but chaff he will burn up in fire inextinguishable. ¹⁸ Many indeed then also other things exhorting he preached glad tidings the people. ¹⁹ The but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias of the wife of the brother of him, and about all of which had done evils the Herod, ²⁰ added also this to all, and shut up the John in the prison.

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ² when Annas was high priest and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance, unto remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, Make straight his paths. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough ways smooth; ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ 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 And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees.

And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay. ¹⁵ While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, ¹⁶ John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

¹⁵ And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered, saying to all, `I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals—he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.' ¹⁸ And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people, ¹⁹ and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did, ²⁰ added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Upon Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of And was upon John, son of Zacharias in the desert. ³ And he came into all the country round about Jordan, proclaiming the immersion of repentance for remission of sins; ⁴ As it has been written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his footpaths straight. ⁵ Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mount and hill shall be lowered; and the crooked shall be into straightness, and the rough into smooth ways. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ Then said he to the crowds coming out to he immersed by him, Generation of vipers, who indicated to you to flee from the anger about to come ⁸ Do ye therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to, say in yourselves, We have a father A braham : for I say to you, That God is able to raise children to Abraham of these stones. ⁹ And also the axe is already laid at the root of the trees: therefore every tree not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire. ¹⁰ And the crowds asked him, saying, What therefore shall we do? ¹¹ And he having answered, says to them, He having two coats, let him impart to him having none; and he having food, let him do likewise. ¹² And publicans came to be immersed, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Do nothing more than that appointed you ¹⁴ And they making war asked him, saying, And what shall do? And he said to them, Shake none violently, neither make slanderous accusation; and be content with your pay. ¹⁵ And the people awaiting, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he may not be the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered to all, saying, I truly immerse you with water; and he stronger than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to loose his shoes' strings: he shall immerse you with the Holy Spirit and fire: ¹⁷ Whose winnowing fan in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his store; and the chaff he will burn down with inextinguishable fire. ¹⁸ And then truly many other things beseeching, he evangelized the people. ¹⁹ And Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod did, ²⁰ And he added this to all, and shut up John in prison.

2 G1909 in G749 the high-priesthood G452 of Annas G2532 and G2533 Caiaphas, G4487 the word G2316 of God G1096 came G1909 unto G2491 John G5207 the son G2197 of Zacharias G1722 in G2048 the wilderness.

3 G2532 And G2064 he came G1519 into G3956 all G4066 the region round about G2446 the Jordan, G2784 preaching G908 the baptism G3341 of repentance G1519 unto G859 remission G266 of sins;

4 G5613 as G1125 it is written G1722 in G976 the book G3056 of the words G2268 of Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G3004 The G5456 voice G994 of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G2090 Make ye G3598 ready the way G2962 of the Lord, G4160 Make G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

5 G3956 Every G5327 valley G4137 shall be filled, G2532 And G3956 every G3735 mountain G2532 and G1015 hill G5013 shall be brought low; G2532 And G4646 the crooked G2071 shall become G2117 straight, G2532 And G5138 the rough G3598 ways G1519 G3006 smooth;

6 G2532 And G3956 all G4561 flesh G3700 shall see G4992 the salvation G2316 of God.

7 G3004 He G3767 said therefore G3793 to the multitudes G1607 that went out G907 to be baptized G5259 of G846 him, G1081 Ye offspring G2191 of vipers, G5101 who G5263 warned G5213 you G5343 to flee G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 to come?

8 G4160 Bring forth G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3341 of repentance, G2532 and G756 begin G3361 not G3004 to say G1722 within G1438 yourselves, G2192 We have G11 Abraham G3962 to G3962 our father: G1063 for G3004 I say G5213 unto you, G3754 that G2316 God G1410 is able G1537 of G5130 these G3037 stones G1453 to raise up G5043 children G11 unto Abraham.

9 G1161 And G2235 even now G513 the axe G2532 also G2749 lieth G4314 at G4491 the root G1186 of the trees: G3956 every G1186 tree G3767 therefore G4160 that bringeth G3361 not G4160 forth G2570 good G2590 fruit G1581 is hewn down, G2532 and G906 cast G1519 into G4442 the fire.

10 G2532 And G3793 the multitudes G1905 asked G846 him, G3004 saying, G5101 What G3767 then G4160 must we do?

11 G611 And he answered G1161 and G3004 said G846 unto them, G2192 He that hath G1417 two G5509 coats, G3330 let him impart G2192 to him that hath G3361 none; G2532 and G2192 he that hath G1033 food, G4160 let him do G3668 likewise.

12 G1161 And there G2064 came G2532 also G5057 publicans G907 to be baptized, G2532 and G2036 they said G4314 unto G846 him, G1320 Teacher, G5101 what G4160 must we do?

13 G1161 And G2036 he said G4314 unto G846 them, G4238 Extort G3367 no G4119 more G3844 than G1299 that which is appointed G5213 you.

14 G1161 And G4754 soldiers G2532 also G1905 asked G846 him, G3004 saying, G2532 And G2249 we, G5101 what G4160 must G2249 we G4160 do? G2532 And G2036 he said G4314 unto G846 them, G1286 Extort from G3367 no man G3366 by violence, neither G4811 accuse G4811 any one wrongfully; G2532 and G714 be content G3800 with G5216 your G3800 wages.

15 G1161 And G2992 as the people G1722 were in G4328 expectation, G2532 and G3956 all men G1260 reasoned G1722 in G846 their G2588 hearts G4012 concerning G2491 John, G3379 whether G846 haply he G1498 were G5547 the Christ;

16 G2491 John G611 answered, G3004 saying G537 unto G537 them all, G1473 I G3303 indeed G907 baptize G5209 you G5204 with water; G1161 but G2064 there cometh G3450 he that is G2478 mightier than G846 I, G2438 the latchet G3739 of whose G5266 shoes G846 I G1510 am G3756 not G2425 worthy G3089 to unloose: G846 he G907 shall baptize G5209 you G4151 in the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit G2532 and G4442 in fire:

17 G3739 whose G4425 fan G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand, G1245 thoroughly to cleanse G846 his G257 threshing-floor, G2532 and G4863 to gather G4621 the wheat G1519 into G846 his G596 garner; G1161 but G892 the chaff G2618 he will burn G762 up with unquenchable G4442 fire.

18 G2532 With G4183 many G3870 other exhortations G2097 therefore preached he G2087 good tidings G2992 unto the people;

19 G1161 but G2264 Herod G5076 the tetrarch, G1651 being reproved G5259 by G846 him G4012 for G2266 Herodias G846 his G80 brother's G5376 G1135 wife, G2532 and G4012 for G3956 all G4190 the evil G3739 things which G2264 Herod G4160 had done,

20 G4369 added G5124 this G2532 also G1909 to G3956 them all, G2532 that G2623 he shut up G2491 John G1722 in G5438 prison.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the highpriesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the region round about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low, And the crooked shall become straight, And the rough ways smooth, ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the multitudes that went out to be baptized of him, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring 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. ⁹ And even now the axe also lieth at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then must we do? ¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none, and he that hath food, let him do likewise. ¹² And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Teacher, what must we do? ¹³ And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the High–priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert; ³ and he came into all the country about the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into remission of sins: ⁴ as it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one crying aloud! In the desert, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths; ⁵ Every chasm, shall be filled up, and, every mountain and hill, be made low; and the, crooked, places shall become, straight, and the, rugged, places, smooth ways; –– ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him––Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you––God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham. ⁹ And, already, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth [good] fruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast. ¹⁰ And the multitude began to question him saying––What, then, shall we do? ¹¹ And, answering, he said unto them––He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing. ¹² And there came, even tax–collectors, to be immersed; and they said unto him––Teacher! what, shall we, do? ¹³ And, he, said unto them, Nothing more than what is appointed you, exact ye. ¹⁴ Then were questioning him, soldiers also, saying––What shall, even we, do? And he said unto them––Molest ye, no one, neither accuse falsely; and be content with your supplies.
¹⁵ Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John,––whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered, saying unto all––I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose,––he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and fire: ¹⁷ whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing–floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad–message unto the people. ¹⁹ But, Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things Herod had done, ²⁰ added this also unto all,––he locked up John in prison.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And when Annas and Caiaphas were High Priests, a Command from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, while he was in the wilderness. ³ And John went through the whole district of the Jordan, proclaiming baptism upon repentance, for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ This was in fulfillment of what is said in the writings of the Prophet Isaiah--'The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: "Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. ⁵ Every chasm shall be filled, Every mountain and hill shall be leveled, The winding ways shall be straightened, The rough roads made smooth, ⁶ And all mankind shall see the Salvation of God."' ⁷ And John said to the crowds that went to be baptized by him: "You brood of vipers! who has prompted you to seek refuge from the coming judgment? ⁸ Let your lives, then, prove your repentance; and do not begin to say among yourselves 'Abraham is our ancestor,' for I tell you that out of these very stones God is able to raise descendants for Abraham! ⁹ Already, indeed, the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that fails to bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ "What are we to do then?" the people asked. ¹¹ "Let the man who has two coats," answered John, "share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same." ¹² Even tax-gatherers came to be baptized, and said to John: "Teacher, what are we to do?" ¹³ "Do not collect more than you have authority to demand," John answered. ¹⁴ And when some soldiers on active service asked "And we--what are we to do?" he said: "Never use violence, or exact anything by false accusation; and be content with your pay." ¹⁵ Then, while the people were in suspense, and were all debating with themselves whether John could be the Christ, ¹⁶ John, addressing them all, said: "I, indeed, baptize you with water; but there is coming one more powerful than I, and I am not fit even to unfasten his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing-fan is in his hand, that he may clear his threshing-floor, and store the grain in his barn, but the chaff he will burn with inextinguishable fire." ¹⁸ And so with many different exhortations John told his Good News to the people. ¹⁹ But Prince Herod, being rebuked by John respecting Herodias, the wife of Herod's brother, and for all the evil things that he had done, ²⁰ Crowned them all by shutting John up in prison.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the region round about the Jordan preaching the baptism of repentance unto the remissions of sins, ⁴ as has been written in the book of Isaiah the prophet, saying; The voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight His paths. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled up and every mountain and hill shall be cut down; and the crooked places shall be straight and the rough ways smooth. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ Then he said unto the multitudes coming out to be baptized by him; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves; We have Abraham our father. ⁹ But truly the ax is laid to the root of the trees; Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying; What then shall we do? ¹¹ And responding he says to them, Let the one having two coats, give to him having none, and let the one having food do likewise. ¹² And the publicans came also to be baptized, and said to him; Teacher, what shall we do! ¹³ And he said to them, Exact no more than that which has been appointed unto you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers were asking him saying; And what shall we do? And he said to them; Oppress no one, neither defraud; and be content with your wages. ¹⁵ And the people waiting and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest he might be the Christ. ¹⁶ John responded to all, saying; I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh One more powerful than I, the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy to loose; He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire. ¹⁷ Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purify His threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into His garner, and will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ Then indeed exhorting them as to many other things he continued to preach the gospel to the people. ¹⁹ And Herod the tetrarch, being convicted by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning the wickedness which Herod did, ²⁰ added also this to all, and shut up John in prison.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert. ³ John went into all the district about the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for the forgiveness of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah, "THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING ALOUD! 'IN THE DESERT PREPARE YE A ROAD FOR THE LORD: MAKE HIS HIGHWAY STRAIGHT. ⁵ EVERY RAVINE SHALL BE FILLED UP, AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL LEVELLED DOWN, THE CROOKED PLACES SHALL BE TURNED INTO STRAIGHT ROADS, AND THE RUGGED WAYS INTO SMOOTH; ⁶ AND THEN SHALL ALL MANKIND SEE GOD'S SALVATION.'" ⁷ Accordingly John used to say to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "O vipers' brood, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Live lives which shall prove your change of heart; and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our forefather,' for I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones. ⁹ And even now the axe is lying at the root of the trees, so that every tree which fails to yield good fruit will quickly be hewn down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?" ¹¹ "Let the man who has two coats," he answered, "give one to the man who has none; and let the man who has food share it with others." ¹² There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?" ¹³ "Do not exact more than the legal amount," he replied. ¹⁴ The soldiers also once and again inquired of him, "And we, what are we to do?" His answer was, "Neither intimidate any one nor lay false charges; and be content with your pay." ¹⁵ And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One, ¹⁶ he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing-shovel is in His hand to clear out His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His storehouse; but the chaff He will burn up in fire unquenchable." ¹⁸ With many exhortations besides these he declared the Good News to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the Tetrarch, being repeatedly rebuked by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all the wicked deeds that he had done, ²⁰ now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness; ³ and he came into all the region of the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance unto remission of sins; ⁴ as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight His paths. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ He was saying, therefore, to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, "Broods of vipers! who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And already the axe also is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, not producing good fruit, is cut down, and cast into the fire." ¹⁰ And the multitudes were asking him, saying, "What, then, shall we do?" ¹¹ And he, answering, said to them, "Let him who has two coats share with him who has none; and let him who has food do likewise." ¹² And there came also tax-collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" ¹³ And he said to them, "Exact no more than that which has been appointed you." ¹⁴ And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no one, neither accuse any one falsely, and be content with your wages." ¹⁵ And, as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he himself were the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered, saying to them all, "I, indeed, immerse you in water; but He is coming, Who is mightier than I—the latchet of Whose sandals I am not worthy to loose—He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire; ¹⁷ Whose fan is in His hand, thoroughly to cleanse His threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into His granary; but the chaff He will burn up with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ Therefore, indeed, exhorting them as to many and various things, he was proclaiming the good news to the people; ¹⁹ but Herod, the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the evils which Herod did, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the desert; ³ and he went into all the Jordan-district preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins — ⁴ as it is written in the book of the sayings of the prophet Isaiah, The voice of one who cries in the desert, 'Make the way ready for the Lord, level the paths for him. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled up, every hill and mound laid low, the crooked made straight, the rough roads smooth; ⁶ so shall all flesh see the saving power of God.' ⁷ To the crowds who came out to get baptized by him John said, "You brood of vipers, who told you to flee from the coming Wrath? ⁸ Now, produce fruits that answer to your repentance, instead of beginning to say to yourselves, 'We have a father in Abraham.' I tell you, God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones! ⁹ The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ The crowds asked him, "Then what are we to do?" ¹¹ He replied, "Let everyone who possesses two shirts share with him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise." ¹² Taxgatherers also came to get baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what are we to do?" ¹³ He said to them, "Never exact more than your fixed rate." ¹⁴ Soldiers also asked him, "And what are we to do?" He said to them, "Never extort money, never lay a false charge, but be content with your pay." ¹⁵ Now as people's expectations were roused and as everybody thought to himself about John, "Can he be the Christ," ¹⁶ John said to them all, "I baptize you with water, but after me one who is mightier will come, and I am not fit to untie the string of his sandals; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing-fan is in his hand to purge his threshing-floor, to gather the wheat into his granary and burn the straw with fire unquenchable." ¹⁸ Thus with many another appeal he spoke his message to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife as well as for all the wickedness that he, Herod, had committed, ²⁰ crowned all by shutting John up in prison.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to Zechariah's son John in the desert. ³ And he went all through the Jordan Valley preaching repentance and baptism in order to obtain the forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah says, "Hark! Someone is shouting in the desert, Get the Lord's way ready! Make his paths straight. ⁵ Every hollow must be filled up, And every mountain and hill leveled. What is crooked is to be made straight, And the rough roads are to be made smooth, ⁶ And all mankind is to see how God can save!" ⁷ So he would say to the crowds that came out there to be baptized by him, "You brood of snakes! Who warned you to fly from the wrath that is coming? ⁸ Then produce fruit that will be consistent with your professed repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you, God can produce descendants for Abraham right out of these stones! ⁹ But the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Any tree that fails to produce good fruit is going to be cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ The crowds would ask him, "Then what ought we to do?" ¹¹ And he answered, "The man who has two shirts must share with the man who has none, and the man who has food must do the same." ¹² Even tax-collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Master, what ought we to do?" ¹³ He said to them, "Do not collect any more than you are authorized to." ¹⁴ And soldiers would ask him, "And what ought we to do?" He said to them, "Do not extort money or make false charges against people, but be satisfied with your pay." ¹⁵ As all this aroused people's expectations, and they were all wondering in their hearts whether John was the Christ, ¹⁶ John said to them all, "I am only baptizing you in water, but someone is coming who is stronger than I am, whose shoes I am not fit to untie. He will baptize you in the holy Spirit and in fire. ¹⁷ He has his winnowing fork in his hand, to clean up his threshing-floor, and store his wheat in his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire." ¹⁸ So with many varied exhortations he would preach the good news to the people, ¹⁹ but Herod the governor, whom he condemned because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the wicked things Herod had done, ²⁰ crowned them all by putting John in prison.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wild lands. ³ Then he came into all the neighborhood of the Jordan proclaiming baptism for a change of heart in order to forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight!' ⁵ Every ravine shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be graded down, and the crooked places shall become straight and the rough roads shall become smooth, ⁶ and all men shall see the salvation of God." ⁷ He said to the crowds that went out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce then fruits suitable for a change of heart, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father.' For I tell you, God is able out of these stones to raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ Already the axe is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not yield good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ The crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?" ¹¹ He answered, "Let him who has two tunics give to him who has none, and let him who has food do likewise." ¹² Some tax collectors came to be baptized and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" ¹³ He said to them, "Do nothing beyond what you are authorized." ¹⁴ Soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" He said to them, "Do violence to no man; bring no false accusations; be content with your rations." ¹⁵ As the people were in expectation and all were debating in their minds about John, whether he was the Christ, ¹⁶ John said to them all, "I am baptizing you with water, but there is coming the One mightier than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to unfasten. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his granary. But the chaff he will burn up with fire unquenchable." ¹⁸ With many different exhortations John proclaimed the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod, the prince, because John reproved him regarding Herodias, his brother's wife, and regarding all the wicked things which Herod had done, ²⁰ added also this wickedness to all the rest — he shut up John in prison.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zachariah, in the Desert. ³ And John went into all the region about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the prophet Isaiah. The voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare the way for God, make straight paths for him. ⁵ Every ravine shall be filled up, Every hill and mountain shall be laid low, The crooked shall be made straight, And the rough roads smooth; ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ So John used to say to the crowd of those who were going out to be baptized by him. "You breed of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Then bring forth fruit befitting your penitence, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father." I tell you that God is able to raise up sons to Abraham out of these stones. ⁹ And now truly the axe is already laid at the root of the trees. So every tree which is not bearing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ And the crowd began to ask him questions. "What shall we do then?" they asked. In reply he said to them. ¹¹ "If you have two shirts share with him who has none; and let him who has food do the same." ¹² There came to him publicans also to be baptized, and they said to him, "Master, what must we do?" ¹³ And he said to them, "Exact no more than the sum allowed you." ¹⁴ The soldiers also repeatedly questioned him, saying, "And we, what shall we do?" "Do not intimidate any one," he replied, "nor lay false charges, and be content with your pay." ¹⁵ And while the people were in expectation, and all men were debating in their hearts about John, ¹⁶ whether perhaps he were the Christ, John answered, saying to all of them. "I indeed am baptizing you in water, but One is coming after me, mightier than I, whose shoe-latchet I am not worthy to unloose. He shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and in fire. ¹⁷ He has his fan in his hand to cleanse his threshing-floor thoroughly, and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff will he burn with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ With many other exhortations then John declared the gospel to the people; ¹⁹ but Herod, the Tetrarch, when reproved by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the wicked deeds that he had done, ²⁰ added yet this above them all that he shut up John in prison.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ² During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he came throughout the country around Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, who said, The voice which calls in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make the paths of our God straight in the plain. ⁵ Let all the valleys be filled up, and all the mountains and hills be levelled; let the crooked places be made straight, and the rough places like a plain; ⁶ And let every flesh see the salvation of God. ⁷ And he said to the people, who were coming to him to be baptized, O offspring of scorpions, who has warned you to escape from the anger which is coming? ⁸ Therefore bring forth fruits which are worthy of repentance; and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I say to you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones. ⁹ Behold, the axe is already placed at the root of the trees; therefore every tree which bears not good fruits will be cut down and dropped in the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, He who has two shirts, let him give to him who has not; and he who has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ He said to them, Do not exact anything more over what is commanded you to exact. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked him saying, What shall we do? And he said to them, Do not molest any man, and do not despise any man; your own wages should be enough for you. ¹⁵ While the people were placing their hope on John, and all of them were thinking in their hearts, that perhaps he is the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with water; but one is coming after me, who is greater than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; ¹⁷ He holds a shovel in his hand, and purifies his threshing; the wheat he gathers into his barns, and the straw he burns in the unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ Many other things also, he taught and preached to the people. ¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, because he was rebuked by John concerning Herodias wife of Philip his brother, and for all the evil things that he was doing, ²⁰ Added this also to them all, that he put John into prison.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² under Hannas and Caiaphas, the chief priests, came a declaration of God to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness." ³ And he came into the entire country about the Jordan, heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the scroll of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁵ 'Every ravine shall be filled And every mountain and hill shall be made low, And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough places into smooth roads,..." ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ He said, then, to the throngs going out to be baptized by him, "Progeny of vipers! Who intimates to you to be fleeing from the impending indignation? ⁸ Produce, then, fruits worthy of repentance. And you should not begin to be saying among yourselves, 'For a father we have Abraham,' for I am saying to you that God is able, out of these stones, to rouse children to Abraham." ⁹ Now already the ax also is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which is not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire." ¹⁰ And the throngs inquired of him, saying "What, then, should we be doing? ¹¹ Now answering, he said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him be sharing with him who has none, and let him who has food be doing likewise." ¹² Now tribute collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we be doing? ¹³ Now he said to them, "Impose nothing more than has been prescribed to you." ¹⁴ Now soldiers also inquired of him, saying, "What should we also be doing?And he said to them, "You should be intimidating no one, neither be blackmailing, and be sufficed with your rations." ¹⁵ Now at the people hoping, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest at some time he may be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, ¹⁷ Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor and be gathering the grain into His barn, yet the chaff shall He burn up with unextinguished fire." ¹⁸ Indeed, then, entreating about many different things also, he brought the evangel to the people." ¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, being exposed by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the wicked things which Herod does, ²⁰ adds this also to them all: he locks up John in jail.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the message of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the desert. ³ And he went all over the Jordan valley, preaching a baptism conditioned on repentance to obtain the forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the sermon-book of the prophet Isaiah: "Here is a voice of one shouting in the desert, 'Get the road ready for the Lord, make the paths straight for Him. ⁵ Every ravine must be filled up, and every mountain and hill leveled down; the crooked places must become straight roads, and the rough roads must be made smooth, ⁶ And all mankind must see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ So he used to say to the crowds that continued to come out there to be baptized by him: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to escape from the wrath that is coming? ⁸ Produce, then, fruit that is consistent with the repentance that you profess, and do not even begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you, God can raise up descendants for Abraham even out of these stones. ⁹ Now the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Every tree, then, that fails to bear good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ So the crowds were asking him this question, "What then ought we to do?" ¹¹ He answered them, "The man who has two shirts must share with him who has none, and the man who has food must do the same." ¹² Then even the tax-collectors came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what ought we to do?" ¹³ So he said to them, "Stop collecting any more than is prescribed for you." ¹⁴ Then some soldiers too were asking him, "What ought we too to do?" So he said to them, "Never extort money from anyone, never make a false accusation, and always be satisfied with your wages." ¹⁵ Now while the people were on tiptoe in their expectations, and they were all arguing in their hearts about John whether he was himself the Christ, ¹⁶ John expressly answered them all, "I am baptizing you in water only, but there is coming the One who is stronger than I am, whose shoestrings I am not fit to untie. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire; ¹⁷ His winnowing-fork is in His hand, and He will clean out His threshing-floor, and store His wheat in His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with fire inextinguishable." ¹⁸ So with many and varied exhortations John continued to proclaim the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the governor, because he was repeatedly reproved by him for Herodias his brother's wife, and for all the wicked deeds that Herod had done, ²⁰ added this on top of it all, that he put John in prison.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ² When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land. ³ And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed. ⁴ As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight. ⁵ Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; ⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God. ⁷ So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come? ⁸ Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham. ⁹ And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do? ¹¹ And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same. ¹² Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do? ¹³ And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount. ¹⁴ And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you. ¹⁵ And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not, ¹⁶ John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: ¹⁷ In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out. ¹⁸ And so comforting them with these and other words, he gave the good news to the people; ¹⁹ But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done, ²⁰ Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests-- the Word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country around Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the Words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked shall be straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God." ⁷ Then he said to the crowd that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. ⁹ And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. And he who has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And tax-collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Continue to do no more than that commanded to you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not forcibly extort anyone, nor accuse any falsely. And be content with your wages. ¹⁵ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, lest perhaps he was the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water, but He who is mightier than I comes, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire, ¹⁷ whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor and will gather the wheat into His storehouse. But He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ And then indeed exhorting many things, he proclaimed the gospel to the people. ¹⁹ 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 added still this above all, that he even shut John up in prison.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² upon the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came on John the son of Zacharias in the desert. ³ And he came into the neighborhood of the Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance for remission of sins, ⁴ as it has been written in the roll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: " the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. ⁵ every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made into straight, and the rough into smooth ways;" ⁶ "and all flesh shall see the salvation of God." Isa. 40:35 ⁷ Then he said to the crowds going out to be baptized by him, Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Then bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham out of these stones. ⁹ And also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees; therefore, every tree not producing good fruit is being cut down and being thrown into the fire. ¹⁰ And the crowd asked him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ And answering, he said to them, The one that has two tunics, let him give to him that has not. And the one that has foods, let him do the same. ¹² And tax collectors also came to be baptized. And they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Continue to do no more than that commanded to you. ¹⁴ And also ones serving as soldiers asked him, saying, And we, what shall we do? And he said to them, Do not shake violently anyone nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay. ¹⁵ But the people were expecting, and all reasoning in their hearts about John, lest perhaps he is the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water; but He stronger than I comes, of whom I am not fit to loosen the thong of His sandals. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire, ¹⁷ whose sifting fan is in His hand; and He will fully purge His threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn: the chaff with fire that cannot be put out. ¹⁸ And then indeed exhorting many different things, he preached the gospel to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning his brother Philip's wife, Herodias, and concerning all the evil things Herod did, ²⁰ he also added this above all, he even shut up John in the prison.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Hanan Yah and Caiaphas being the archpriests; the rhema of Elohim becomes to Yahn the son of Zechar Yah in the wilderness: ³ and he goes to all the region around Yarden preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins ⁴ - as scribed in the scroll of the words of Yesha Yah the prophet, wording, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Yah Veh, make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley is filled, and every mountain and hill humbled; and the crooked made into straight, and the jagged ways made smooth; ⁶ and all flesh sees the salvation of Elohim. ^{Isaiah 40:3-5} ⁷ So he words to the multitude who proceed to be baptized by him, O progeny of vipers, who exemplifies you to flee the wrath about to be? ⁸ So produce fruits worthy of repentance: and begin not to word within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father. For I word to you, that Elohim is able, from these stones, to raise children to Abraham. ⁹ And also the axe is already laid to the root of the trees: so that every tree not producing good fruit is exscinded, and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitude ask him, wording, So what do we? ¹¹ He answers them, wording, Whoever has two tunics, impart to him who has none: and whoever has food, do likewise. ¹² And customs agents also come to be baptized, and say to him, Doctor, what do we? ¹³ And he says to them, Exact no more than that ordained of you. ¹⁴ And the warriors likewise ask of him, wording, And what do we? And he says to them, Intimidate no one! Sycophant not! And be satisfied with your wages! ¹⁵ And as the people await and all men reason in their hearts about Yahn - lest ever he is the Messiah. ¹⁶ Yahn answers them all, wording, I indeed baptize you in water; but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not adequate to unloose: he baptizes you in Holy Spirit and in fire: ¹⁷ whose winnowing fan is in his hand and he throughly purges his threshing floor; and gathers the grain into his granary; but burns the chaff with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ - and indeed, in his beseeching, he evangelizes much other to the people. ¹⁹ And Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias the woman of his brother Phillipos, and concerning all the evils Herod did ²⁰ still adds this above all: he locks Yahn in the guardhouse.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² [During this time], while Annas and Caiaphas [Note: This man was Annas’ son-in-law. See John 18:13] were head priests, God’s message came to John [the Immerser], son of Zacharias, [when he was] in the desert [of Judea]. ³ He went into the whole region around the Jordan River proclaiming that those immersed on the basis of their repentance [i.e., determining to change their hearts and lives] would receive the forgiveness of sins [from God]. ⁴ This was according to what is written in the book containing the words of Isaiah, the prophet [Isa. 40:3ff], “The voice of a man who speaks out in the desert [urging people] to make the road for the Lord ready [for Him to travel]; to make a straight pathway for Him [to walk on]. ⁵ Every valley will be filled up and every mountain and hill will be leveled. And crooked [roads] will become straight and rough ones smoothed out. ⁶ And all mankind will see the salvation of God [i.e., become available to them].” ⁷ He said to the crowds of people that went out [to the desert] to be immersed by him, “You children of snakes, who warned you to run away from the coming wrath [of God]? ⁸ Demonstrate by your lives that you have [really] repented, and quit saying to yourselves, ‘We claim Abraham as our forefather,’ because I tell you, God is able to make Abraham’s children out of these stones. ⁹ And even now the axe is also ready to chop down the trees at their roots [i.e., you Jews]. Every tree [i.e., person] that does not produce wholesome fruit [i.e., a godly life] will be cut down and thrown into the fire [i.e., the punishment of hell].” ¹⁰ Then the crowds asked him, “What then must we do [i.e., to demonstrate our repentance]?” ¹¹ And he answered them, “The person who has two coats should give [one of them] to the person who does not have any; and the person who has food should do the same thing.” ¹² Then some tax collectors came to him to be immersed and asked him, “Teacher, what must we do [i.e., to demonstrate our repentance]?” ¹³ And he answered them, “Do not collect any more [tax money] than you are required to.” ¹⁴ Some soldiers on duty also asked him, “And what must we do [i.e., to demonstrate our repentance]?” And he answered them, “Do not force people to give you money or accuse them falsely, and be content with your pay.” ¹⁵ Now as people were anticipating [what would happen] and everyone was wondering in their hearts if perhaps John were the Christ [i.e., God’s specially chosen one], ¹⁶ John answered [their concerns] by saying to all of them, “I am [the one] immersing you in water, but One who is more powerful than I will follow my [ministry]. I am not [even] worthy to loosen the straps of His sandals. He will immerse you people with the Holy Spirit and with fire [i.e., the punishment of hell. See Matt. 3:10-12]. ¹⁷ His separating shovel is in His hand and He will completely clear off His threshing floor [i.e., by removing all of the husks]. And He will gather the wheat into His barn, but will burn up the husks with a fire that will never go out.” ¹⁸ So, John preached the good news to the people with many different appeals. ¹⁹ But because he had rebuked Herod, the tetrarch, for [marrying] his brother’s wife Herodias, and for all the other bad things he had done, ²⁰ to top it off, Herod put John in prison.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked things will be into straight and the rough into smooth ways. ⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be immersed by him, Ye offspring of vipers, who showed you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And even now the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore not making good fruit is cut down, and cast into fire. ¹⁰ And the crowds questioned him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ And having answered, he says to them, He who has two coats, let him share with him not having, and he who has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Collect not one thing more than from what has been appointed for you. ¹⁴ And men who were soldiers also questioned him, saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages. ¹⁵ And as the people were expectant, and all pondering in their hearts about John, if perhaps he was the Christ, ¹⁶ John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire, ¹⁷ whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ Indeed therefore, also exhorting the people with many other things, he preached the good news. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done, ²⁰ also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough ways smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. ⁹ And even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, "What then shall we do?" ¹¹ And he answered them, "He who has two tunics, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise." ¹² Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" ¹³ And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you." ¹⁴ Likewise the soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Rob no one by violence or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages." ¹⁵ As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but one mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ And with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the other evil things Herod had done, ²⁰ added this to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

2 G1909 in G749 the high priesthood G452 of Annas G2532 and G2533 Caiaphas, G4487 the word G2316 of God G1096 came G1909 to G2491 John, G5207 the son G2197 of Zacharias, G1722 in G2048 the wilderness.

3 G2532 He G2064 came G1519 into G3956 all G4066 the region around G2446 the Jordan, G2784 preaching G908 the baptism G3341 of repentance G1519 for G859 remission G266 of sins.

4 G5613 As G1125 it is written G1722 in G976 the book G3056 of the words G2268 of Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G3004 G5456 "The voice G994 of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G4160 ‘Make G3598 ready the way G2962 of the Lord. G4160 Make G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

5 G3956 Every G5327 valley G4137 will be filled. G2532 G3956 Every G3735 mountain G2532 and G1015 hill G5013 will be brought low. G2532 G4646 The crooked G2071 will become G2117 straight, G2532 and G5138 the rough G3598 ways G1519 G3006 smooth.

6 G3956 All G4561 flesh G3700 will see G2316 God's G4992 salvation.'"

7 G3004 He G3767 said therefore G3793 to the multitudes G1607 who went out G907 to be baptized G5259 by G846 him, G1081 "You offspring G2191 of vipers, G5101 who G5263 warned G5213 you G5343 to flee G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 to come?

8 G4160 Bring forth G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3341 of repentance, G2532 and G3361 don't G756 begin G3962 to G3004 say G1438 among yourselves, G2192 ‘We have G11 Abraham G1063 for G3962 our father;' G1063 for G3004 I tell G5213 you G3754 that G2316 God G1410 is able G1453 to raise up G5043 children G11 to Abraham G1537 from G5130 these G3037 stones!

10 G2532 The G3793 multitudes G1905 asked G846 him, G5101 "What G3767 then G4160 must we do?"

11 G611 He answered G846 them, G2192 "He who has G1417 two G5509 coats, G3330 let him give G2192 to him who has G3361 none. G2532 He G2192 who has G1033 food, G4160 let him do G3668 likewise."

12 G5057 Tax collectors G2532 also G2064 came G907 to be baptized, G2532 and G2036 they said G4314 to G846 him, G1320 "Teacher, G5101 what G4160 must we do?"

13 G1161 He G2036 said G4314 to G846 them, G4238 "Collect G3367 no G4119 more G3844 than G1299 that which is appointed G5213 to you."

14 G4754 Soldiers G2532 also G1905 asked G846 him, G3004 saying, G5101 "What about us? What G4160 must G2249 we G4160 do?" G2532 He G2036 said G4314 to G846 them, G1286 "Extort from G3367 no one G3366 by violence, neither G4811 accuse G4811 anyone wrongfully. G714 Be content G3800 with G5216 your G3800 wages."

15 G1161 As G2992 the people G1722 were in G4328 expectation, G1161 and G3956 all men G1260 reasoned G1722 in G846 their G2588 hearts G4012 concerning G2491 John, G3379 whether G846 perhaps he G5547 was G5547 the Christ,

16 G2491 John G611 answered G537 them G537 all, G1473 "I G3303 indeed G907 baptize G5209 you G5204 with water, G1161 but G2064 he comes G3450 who is G2478 mightier than G846 I, G2438 the latchet G3739 of whose G5266 sandals G846 I G1510 am G3756 not G2425 worthy G3089 to loosen. G846 He G907 will baptize G5209 you G4151 in the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit G2532 and G4442 fire,

17 G3739 whose G4425 fan G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand, G2532 and G1245 he will thoroughly cleanse G846 his G257 threshing floor, G2532 and G4863 will gather G4621 the wheat G1519 into G846 his G596 barn; G1161 but G2618 he will burn G892 up the chaff G762 with unquenchable G4442 fire."

18 G2532 Then G4183 with many G3870 other exhortations G2097 he G2087 preached good news G2992 to the people,

2 G452 Annas G2532 and G2533 Caiaphas G1909 being G749 the high priests, G4487 the word G2316 of God G1096 came G1909 unto G2491 John G5207 the son G2197 of Zacharias G1722 in G2048 the wilderness.

3 G2532 And G2064 he came G1519 into G3956 all G4066 the country about G2446 Jordan, G2784 preaching G908 the baptism G3341 of repentance G1519 for G859 the remission G266 of sins;

4 G5613 As G1125 it is written G1722 in G976 the book G3056 of the words G2268 of Isaiah G4396 the prophet, G3004 saying, G5456 The voice G994 of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G2090 Prepare you G3598 the way G2962 of the Lord, G4160 make G846 his G5147 paths G2117 straight.

5 G3956 Every G5327 valley G4137 shall be filled, G2532 and G3956 every G3735 mountain G2532 and G1015 hill G5013 shall be brought low; G2532 and G4646 the crooked G2071 shall be made G2117 straight, G2532 and G5138 the rough G3598 ways G1519 shall be made G3006 smooth;

6 G2532 And G3956 all G4561 flesh G3700 shall see G4992 the salvation G2316 of God.

7 G3767 Then G3004 said he G3793 to the multitude G1607 that came forth G907 to be baptized G5259 of G846 him, G1081 O generation G2191 of vipers, G5101 who G5263 has warned G5213 you G5343 to flee G575 from G3709 the wrath G3195 to come?

8 G4160 Bring forth G3767 therefore G2590 fruits G514 worthy G3341 of repentance, G2532 and G756 begin G3361 not G3004 to say G1722 inside G1438 yourselves, G2192 We have G11 Abraham G3962 to G3962 our father: G1063 for G3004 I say G5213 to you, G3754 That G2316 God G1410 is able G1537 of G5130 these G3037 stones G1453 to raise up G5043 sons G11 to Abraham.

9 G1161 And G2235 now G2532 also G513 the axe G2749 is laid G4314 to G4491 the root G1186 of the trees: G3956 every G1186 tree G3767 therefore G4160 which brings G3361 not G4160 forth G2570 good G2590 fruit G1581 is cut down, G2532 and G906 cast G1519 into G4442 the fire.

10 G2532 And G3793 the people G1905 asked G846 him, G3004 saying, G5101 What G4160 shall we do G3767 then?

11 G611 He answers G1161 and G3004 says G846 to them, G2192 He that has G1417 two G5509 coats, G3330 let him impart G2192 to him that has G3361 none; G2532 and G2192 he that has G1033 food, G4160 let him do G3668 likewise.

12 G1161 Then G2064 came G2532 also G5057 tax collectors G907 to be baptized, G2532 and G2036 said G4314 to G846 him, G1320 Master, G5101 what G4160 shall we do?

13 G1161 And G2036 he said G4314 to G846 them, G4238 Exact G3367 no G4119 more G3844 than G1299 that which is appointed G5213 you.

14 G1161 And G4754 the soldiers G2532 likewise G1905 demanded G846 of him, G3004 saying, G2532 And G5101 what G4160 shall G2249 we G4160 do? G2532 And G2036 he said G4314 to G846 them, G1286 Do violence to G3367 no man, G3366 neither G4811 accuse G4811 any falsely; G2532 and G714 be content G3800 with G5216 your G3800 wages.

15 G1161 And G2992 as the people G4328 were in expectation, G2532 and G3956 all men G1260 mused G1722 in G846 their G2588 hearts G4012 of G2491 John, G3379 whether G846 he G1498 were G5547 the Christ, G3379 or not;

16 G2491 John G611 answered, G3004 saying G537 to G537 them all, G1473 I G3303 indeed G907 baptize G5209 you G5204 with water; G1161 but G2478 one mightier than G3450 I G2064 comes, G2438 the latchet G846 G3739 of whose G5266 shoes G1510 I am G3756 not G2425 worthy G3089 to unloose: G846 he G907 shall baptize G5209 you G1722 with G4151 the G40 Holy G4151 Spirit G2532 and G4442 with fire:

17 G3739 Whose G4425 pitchfork G1722 is in G846 his G5495 hand, G2532 and G1245 he will throughly cleanse G846 his G257 floor, G2532 and G4863 will gather G4621 the wheat G1519 into G846 his G596 grainery; G1161 but G892 the chaff G2618 he will burn G4442 with fire G762 unquenchable.

18 G2532 And G4183 many G2087 other things G3870 in his exhortation G2097 preached he G2992 to the people.

19 G1161 But G2264 Herod G5076 the tetrarch, G1651 being reproved G5259 by G846 him G4012 for G2266 Herodias G846 his G80 brother G5376 Philip's G1135 wife, G2532 and G4012 for G3956 all G4190 the evils G3739 which G2264 Herod G4160 had done,

20 G4369 Added G2532 yet G5124 this G1909 above G3956 all, G2532 that G2623 he shut up G2491 John G1722 in G5438 prison.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness, ³ and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, ⁴ as it has been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, straight make you His paths; ⁵ every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' ⁷ Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptized by him, 'Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father -- Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham; ⁹ and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.' ¹⁰ And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, 'What, then, shall we do?' ¹¹ and he answering said to them, 'He having two coats -- let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals -- in like manner let him do.' ¹² And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?' ¹³ and he said unto them, 'Exact no more than that directed you.' ¹⁴ And questioning him also were those warring, saying, 'And we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, 'Do violence to no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.' ¹⁵ And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptize you, but he comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.' ¹⁸ And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people, ¹⁹ and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did, ²⁰ added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came upon John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; ⁴ 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 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the saving health of God. ⁷ Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who taught you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. ⁹ And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees; every tree therefore which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² Then the publicans also came to be baptized and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Oppress no one, neither accuse anyone falsely; and be content with your wages. ¹⁵ ¶ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not, ¹⁶ John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ And exhorting many other things he announced the gospel unto the people. ¹⁹ Then Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife and for all the evils which Herod had done, ²⁰ added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the time of the high priest Annas and the high priest Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "A voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD, make His paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be humbled; the crooked roads shall become straight, and the rough roads shall become smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' " ⁷ Then he said to the crowds which came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham out of these stones. ⁹ And even now the ax is being laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and is thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ So the people were asking him, saying, "What shall we do then?" ¹¹ He answered and said to them, "He who has two shirts, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise." ¹² Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" ¹³ And he said to them, "Collect nothing more than the amount which has been commanded to you." ¹⁴ Likewise the soldiers also were asking him, saying, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages." ¹⁵ Now while the people waited, and all considered in their hearts about John, whether he might be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn up with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ And with many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, ²⁰ he also added this to all his other sins, and locked up John in the prison.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high priesthood of Annas (also Caiaphas), the word of God came upon John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ So he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: “A voice calling out: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness, make His paths straight. ⁵ Every ravine will be filled up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; the crooked parts of the roads will be straightened out, and the rough parts will be smoothed out; ⁶ and all flesh will see the salvation of God.’” ⁷ Then he said to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him: “You sons of poisonous snakes! Who tipped you off to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Well then, produce fruits befitting repentance, and don’t even begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father’, because I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones! ⁹ But even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees; so then, every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” ¹⁰ So the people started asking him, “What then must we do?” ¹¹ In answer he said to them, “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food should do likewise”. ¹² Well even tax collectors came to be baptized by him and said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?” ¹³ So He said to them, “Don’t charge more than what was determined to you”. ¹⁴ So the soldiers started asking him too: “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Don’t extort or harass anyone, and be content with your wages”. ¹⁵ Now as the people were expectant and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he just might be the Messiah, ¹⁶ John anticipated them all saying: “I indeed am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal straps I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” ¹⁸ (Indeed, with many other exhortations as well he kept on preaching to the people; ¹⁹ but Herod the tetrarch—being reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, as also about all the wicked things that Herod perpetrated — ²⁰ added this also to them all: he actually locked John up in his prison.)

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² on the [occasion and term of the priesthood of] chief (or: ranking) priests, Annas and Caiaphas, a gush-effect which was God (or: the result of a flow from God; God’s spoken word; a declaration from God) came into existence (came to be; was birthed) upon John, son of Zechariah, within the midst of the wilderness (the uninhabited, desolate place). ³ And so he came (or: went) into all [the] region around the Jordan [River], repeatedly making a public proclamation heralding an immersion (or: baptism) of a change of mind and way of thinking [which also implied a return to God], into a flowing-away of failures (a sending-away of mistakes; a letting-go and release of failed attempts to hit the target and attain the goal; abandonment of sins; a divorce from, and a forgiveness of, errors). ⁴ As it has been and stands written within the scroll of [the] words of Isaiah the prophet, "A voice (or: sound) of someone repeatedly exclaiming and imploring loudly within the midst of the wilderness (the desolate place): 'You people at once make ready (or: 'Within the wilderness [now] prepare) the Way (Road) of [the] Lord [= Yahweh's Path]!

Then the crooked things (or: places) will proceed in being [made] into straight ones, and rough and uneven places, into smooth roads! ⁶ 'Then all flesh will proceed in seeing God's Deliverance (Salvation; Rescue; health and wholeness; Returning [all; things] to the original state and condition)!'" [Isa. 40:3-5] ⁷ However, he [i.e., John] kept on saying to the crowds that were one after another going their way out to be immersed by him, " [You] offsprings (or: Results of the births) of poisonous snakes (vipers), who (or: what) privately suggested (or: secretly showed; pointed out under [cover]) to you folks to be at once taking flight (fleeing) away from the progressively impending inherent fervor (internal swelling towards fruition; agitation of soul; or: anger; wrath)? ⁸ "Be at once, then, producing fruit of corresponding value to (or: of equal worth of; worthy of) the aforementioned change of mind and way of thinking! And so, you should not start (or: begin) to be repeatedly saying among yourselves, 'We continue having Abraham [as; for] a father,' for I am now saying to you folks that God continues able (constantly has power) to raise up children to (or: for) Abraham from out of the midst of these stones! ⁹ "Now the ax already continues lying [positioned with its aim] toward the root of the trees. So then, every tree not seasonally producing beautiful (fine; ideal; choice) fruit is customarily cut out [of the orchard] and is regularly being tossed into a fire [to heat or to cook]." ¹⁰ And so the crowds began putting questions to him, one after another saying, "What, then, should we be doing?" ¹¹ So, giving a decided reply, he began saying to them, "The person habitually having two tunics (undergarments), let him at once share with the one not normally having [one]; and the person habitually having things to eat (food), let him regularly do likewise." ¹² Now tax collectors (or: government revenue contractors; customs agents) also came to be immersed (baptized), and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we be doing?" ¹³ So he said to them, "Be habitually practicing (thus: collecting, demanding or exacting) nothing more besides the thing having been precisely arranged and prescribed for you (= charge nothing beyond the standard rates)." ¹⁴ And then soldiers (men serving in the army) also began putting questions to him, as a group saying, "What should we also be doing?" And he said to them, "You men should not at any time violently shake anyone (thus, also: intimidate, harass or extort from anyone), nor should you at any time inform on, blackmail or falsely accuse [people]. Also, be habitually content and satisfied with your subsistence rations and pay." ¹⁵ Now during the people's continued anticipation – keeping an eye open and directed forward in watchful expectation – [and] while everyone kept on reasoning and debating in their hearts concerning John, whether perchance he might be the Christ (the Anointed One; = the Messiah), ¹⁶ John gave a decided response, repeatedly saying, "I, myself, on the one hand am in the process of immersing (baptizing) you folks in (or: with) water. Yet on the other hand, the Person stronger than I is now progressively coming – the lace (or: strap; thong) of Whose sandals I am not competent (fit; sufficient) to loosen or untie. He, Himself, will proceed immersing (or: baptizing) you folks within the midst of set-apart Spirit (or: set-apart spirit; sacred attitude; Holy Breath-effect) and (or: even) Fire – ¹⁷ "Whose winnowing shovel (or: fork) [is] in His hand to thoroughly clean [other MSS: and He will thoroughly cleanse] His threshing floor and to gather together [with other MSS: He will collect] the grain into His storehouse (granary; barn) – but then He will progressively burn down (or: up) the chaff (husks and straw; = the useless remains of the dead plants) with (or: in) an inextinguishable Fire." [comment: the same fire as in vs. 16; cf 1 Cor. 3:7-17] ¹⁸ Then, indeed, constantly calling the people alongside to give encouragement, exhortation and assistance, he kept on bringing and announcing many and different things as good news of ease and wellness. ¹⁹ Now Herod, the tetrarch (district ruler) – being repeatedly put to the proof (or: being constantly questioned, as in a cross-examination, and refuted, exposed, convicted and treated with contempt) by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, as well as about all [the] worthless, malicious and wicked things which Herod did and does – ²⁰ added this also, upon everything [he had done]: he locked down John within the midst of a prison (or: jail).

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² This was in the time when Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests. The word of God was delivered to John the son of Zechariah. He was in the wilderness. ³ John traveled in the region near the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ This was according to the words of Isaiah the prophet: »The voice of one crying in the wilderness. Make ready the way of Jehovah. Make his paths straight. ⁵ »Every valley shall be filled. Every mountain and hill shall be brought low. The crooked shall become straight and the rough ways smooth. ⁶ »All flesh shall see the salvation of God.« (Isaiah 40:3-6) ⁷ He told the crowds that came to be baptized by him: »You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ »Produce fruit that is worthy of repentance. Do not say we have Abraham for our father. I tell you, that God is able to make these stones into children for Abraham. ⁹ »The axe is now at the root of the trees. Every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown in to the fire.« ¹⁰ The people asked him: »What must we do?« ¹¹ He answered: »He who has two coats let him give to him who has none. He who has food let him do likewise.« ¹² Tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him: »Teacher, what must we do?« ¹³ He told them: »Collect no more than that which is prescribed.« ¹⁴ Soldiers also asked him: »What must we do?« And he said: »Do not take money from any one by force. Never falsely accuse any one wrongfully and be content with your wages.« ¹⁵ Many people were expecting the Messiah. They reasoned in their hearts concerning John: »Perhaps he was the Messiah.« ¹⁶ John answered, saying to them: »I baptize you with water. He is coming who is mightier than I. I am not worthy to untie his shoelaces. He will baptize you in Holy Spirit and in fire. ¹⁷ »His winnowing fork is in his hand ready to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor. He will gather the wheat into his barn. He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.« ¹⁸ He preached good news to the people by offering many encouraging words. ¹⁹ John reproved Herod the tetrarch for all the evil things he had done for he took his brother Herodias’ wife. ²⁰ He added this also to them all. He locked up John in prison.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and Annas and Caiaphas high priests, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. ³ John went throughout the entire Jordan region, proclaiming a baptism about repentance for the forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “He is a voice calling out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight! ⁵ Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled. The crooked ways will be made straight, and the rough roads will be made smooth. ⁶ Everyone will see the salvation that God has provided.’”
⁷ John would say to the crowds that were coming out to be baptized by him, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! Don’t begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have father Abraham!’ because I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones! ⁹ The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.”
¹⁰ The crowds kept asking him, “What, then, should we do?”
¹¹ He answered them, “The person who has two coats must share with the one who doesn’t have any, and the person who has food must do the same.”
¹² Even some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
¹³ He told them, “Stop collecting more money than the amount you are told to collect.”
¹⁴ Even some soldiers were asking him, “And what should we do?”
He told them, “Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay.”
¹⁵ Now the people were filled with expectation, and all of them were wondering if John was perhaps the Messiah. ¹⁶ John replied to all of them, “I’m baptizing you with water, but one is coming who is more powerful than I, and I’m not worthy to untie his sandal straps. It is he who will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor. He’ll gather the grain into his barn, but he’ll burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”
¹⁸ With many other exhortations John continued to proclaim the good news to the people. ¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch had been rebuked by John because he had married his brother’s wife Herodias and because of all of the other evil things Herod had done. ²⁰ Added to all this, Herod locked John up in prison.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² in the time of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the surrounding region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah,
"The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight! ⁵ Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be leveled, and the crooked will become straight, and the rough road will become* smooth, ⁶ and all flesh will see the salvation of God.'"* ⁷ Therefore he was saying to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones! ⁹ And even now the ax is positioned at the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." ¹⁰ And the crowds were asking him, saying, "What then should we do?" ¹¹ And he answered and* said to them, "The one who has two tunics must share with the one who does not have one,* and the one who has food must do likewise." ¹² And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?" ¹³ And he said to them, "Collect no more than _⌊what you are ordered to_⌋."* ¹⁴ And those who served in the army were also asking him, saying, "What should we also do?" And he said to them, "Extort from no one, and do not blackmail anyone,* and be content with your pay." ¹⁵ And while* the people were waiting expectantly and all were pondering in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he might be the Christ,* ¹⁶ John answered them all, saying, "I baptize you with water, but the one who is more powerful than I am is coming, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing shovel is in his hand, to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ So with many other exhortations also he proclaimed good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him concerning Herodias, his brother's wife, and concerning all the evil deeds that Herod had done, ²⁰ added this also to them all: he also locked up John in prison.

Who warned you to flee from the future wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance and do not begin to say among yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I say to you, that God is able to lift up children to Abraham from these stones. ⁹ Now the ax is also already destined toward the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree which is not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
¹⁰ And the crowds asked him, saying, Therefore what shall we do?
¹¹ But he answered and said to them, He who has two tunics, let him give one to the one who has none, and he who has food, let him do likewise.
¹² Now tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?
¹³ Now he said to them, Appropriate no more than what has been appointed for you.
¹⁴ But the active soldiers were also asking him, saying, And we, what shall we do?
And he said to them, Intimidate no one, nor cheat anyone, and be content with your rations.
¹⁵ But the people are expecting, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, maybe, he might be the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but the mightier one than I is coming, the strap of whose shoes I am not sufficient to loose. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit, and in fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will be thoroughly cleansing his threshing floor, and will be gathering the grain into his barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
¹⁸ Therefore indeed, he was proclaiming the good-news to the people, encouraging them also with many other things.

¹⁹ But Herod the Tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias his brother’s wife and concerning all the evil things which Herod practiced, ²⁰ also added this to them all, and locked up John in the prison.

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the desert; ³ And he went into all the country about the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord; make straight paths for Him.’ ⁵ Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth. ⁶ And all mankind will see God’s salvation.” ⁷ Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ The ax lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” ¹⁰ "What are we to do then?" the people asked. ¹¹ John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.” ¹² Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” ¹³ “Collect no more than you are authorized,” he answered. ¹⁴ Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.” ¹⁵ The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John could be the Christ. ¹⁶ John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. ¹⁷ whose winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." ¹⁸ And with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. ¹⁹ But when he rebuked Herod the tetrarch regarding his brother’s wife Herodias and all the evils he had done, ²⁰ Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ² da Hannas und Kaiphas Hohepriester waren: da geschah der Befehl Gottes zu Johannes, des Zacharias Sohn, in der Wüste. ³ Und er kam in alle Gegend um den Jordan und predigte die Taufe der Buße zur Vergebung der Sünden. ⁴ wie geschrieben stehet in dem Buch der Reden Jesaja's, des Propheten, der da sagt: Es ist eine Stimme eines Predigers in der Wüste: Bereitet den Weg des HERRN und machet seine Steige richtig! ⁵ Alle Täler sollen voll werden, und alle Berge und Hügel sollen erniedriget werden; und was krumm ist, soll richtig werden und was uneben ist, soll schlechter Weg werden. ⁶ Und alles Fleisch wird den Heiland Gottes sehen. ⁷ Da sprach er zu dem Volk, das hinausging, daß es sich von ihm taufen ließe: Ihr Otterngezüchte, wer hat denn euch geweiset, daß ihr dem zukünftigen Zorn entrinnen werdet? ⁸ Sehet zu, tut rechtschaffene Früchte der Buße und nehmet euch nicht vor zu sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater. Denn ich sage euch: Gott kann dem Abraham aus diesen Steinen Kinder erwecken. ⁹ Es ist schon die Axt den Bäumen an die Wurzel gelegt; welcher Baum nicht gute Früchte bringet, wird abgehauen und in das Feuer geworfen. ¹⁰ Und das Volk fragete ihn und sprach: Was sollen wir denn tun? ¹¹ Er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Röcke hat, der gebe dem, der keinen hat; und wer Speise hat, tue auch also. ¹² Es kamen auch die Zöllner, daß sie sich taufen ließen, und sprachen zu ihm: Meister, was sollen denn wir tun? ¹³ Er sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr, denn gesetzt ist. ¹⁴ Da fragten ihn auch die, Kriegsleute und sprachen: Was sollen denn wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt noch Unrecht und lasset euch begnügen an eurem Solde. ¹⁵ Als aber das Volk im Wahn war und dachten alle in ihren Herzen von Johannes, ob er vielleicht Christus wäre ¹⁶ antwortete Johannes und sprach zu allen: Ich taufe euch mit Wasser; es kommt aber ein Stärkerer nach mir, dem ich nicht genugsam bin, daß ich die Riemen seiner Schuhe auflöse; der wird euch mit dem Heiligen Geist und mit Feuer taufen. ¹⁷ In desselbigen Hand ist die Worfschaufel; und er wird seine Tenne fegen und wird den Weizen in seine Scheuer sammeln und die Spreu wird er mit ewigem Feuer verbrennen. ¹⁸ Und viel, anderes mehr vermahnete und verkündigte er dem Volk. ¹⁹ Herodes aber der Vierfürst, da er von ihm gestraft ward um der Herodias willen, seines Bruders Weib, und um alles Übels willen, das Herodes tat - ²⁰ über das alles legte er Johannes gefangen.

6 G2532 Und G3956 alles G4561 Fleisch G4992 wird den Heiland G2316 Gottes G370 sehen .

7 G3004 Da sprach G575 er zu dem G3793 Volk G1607 , das hinausging G5259 , daß es sich von G907 ihm taufen G846 ließe: Ihr G1081 Otterngezüchte G5101 , wer G3767 hat denn G5213 euch G3709 geweiset, daß ihr dem zukünftigen Zorn G5343 entrinnen G3195 werdet ?

17 G1722 In G5495 desselbigen Hand G3739 ist die G2532 Worfschaufel; und G846 er wird seine G257 Tenne G1245 fegen G2532 und G4621 wird den Weizen G596 in seine Scheuer G4863 sammeln G1161 und G892 die Spreu G4442 wird er mit ewigem Feuer G2618 verbrennen .

11 G1161 Er aber G611 antwortete G3004 und sprach G846 zu ihnen: G1417 Wer zwei G5509 Leibröcke G2192 hat, G3330 teile G3330 dem mit, G3361 der keinen G2192 hat; G2532 und G1033 wer Speise G2192 hat, G4160 tue G3668 gleicherweise.

14 G1905 Es fragten G846 ihn G1161 aber G2532 auch G4754 Kriegsleute G3004 und sprachen: G2532 Und G2249 wir, G5101 was G4160 sollen wir tun? G2532 Und G2036 er sprach G4314 zu G846 ihnen: G3367 Tut niemandem G1286 Gewalt, G3366 und G4811 klaget niemanden fälschlich an, G2532 und G714 begnüget G5216 euch mit eurem G3800 Solde.

16 G611 antwortete G2491 Johannes G537 allen G2532 und G3004 sprach: G1473 Ich G3303 zwar G907 taufe G5209 euch G5204 mit Wasser; G2064 es kommt G1161 aber G2478 der stärker G3450 ist als ich, G3739 dessen G3756 ich nicht G2425 würdig G1510 bin, G846 ihm G2438 den Riemen G5266 seiner Sandalen G3089 zu lösen; G846 er G5209 wird euch G1722 mit G40 Heiligem G4151 Geist G2532 und G4442 Feuer G907 taufen;

18 G3767 Indem er nun G2532 auch G4183 G3303 mit vielem G2087 anderen G3870 ermahnte, G2097 verkündigte G2992 er dem Volke G2097 gute Botschaft.

19 G2264 Herodes G1161 aber, G5076 der Vierfürst, G4012 weil er wegen G2266 der Herodias, G1135 des Weibes G846 seines G80 G5376 Bruders, G2532 und G4012 wegen G3956 alles G4190 Bösen, G3739 das G2264 Herodes G4160 getan hatte, G5259 von G846 ihm G1651 gestraft wurde,

[Jes 40,3-5] ⁷ Er sprach nun zu den Volksmengen, die hinausgingen, um von ihm getauft zu werden: Otternbrut! Wer hat euch gewiesen, dem kommenden Zorn zu entfliehen? ⁸ Bringet nun der Buße würdige Früchte; und beginnet nicht, bei euch selbst zu sagen: Wir haben Abraham zum Vater; denn ich sage euch, daß Gott dem Abraham aus diesen Steinen Kinder zu erwecken vermag. ⁹ Schon ist aber auch die Axt an die Wurzel der Bäume gelegt; jeder Baum nun, der nicht gute Frucht bringt, wird abgehauen und ins Feuer geworfen. ¹⁰ Und die Volksmengen fragten ihn und sprachen: Was sollen wir denn tun? ¹¹ Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Wer zwei Leibröcke hat, teile dem mit, der keinen hat; und wer Speise hat, tue gleicherweise. ¹² Es kamen aber auch Zöllner, um getauft zu werden; und sie sprachen zu ihm: Lehrer, was sollen wir tun? ¹³ Er aber sprach zu ihnen: Fordert nicht mehr, als euch bestimmt ist. ¹⁴ Es fragten ihn aber auch Kriegsleute und sprachen: Und wir, was sollen wir tun? Und er sprach zu ihnen: Tut niemand Gewalt, O. Übet an niemand Erpressung und klaget niemand fälschlich an, und begnüget euch mit eurem Solde. ¹⁵ Als aber das Volk in Erwartung war, und alle in ihren Herzen wegen Johannes überlegten, ob er nicht etwa der Christus sei, ¹⁶ antwortete Johannes allen und sprach: Ich zwar taufe euch mit Wasser; es kommt aber, der stärker ist als ich, dessen ich nicht würdig Eig. genugsam, tüchtig bin, ihm den Riemen seiner Sandalen zu lösen; er wird euch mit Heiligem Geiste und Feuer taufen; ¹⁷ dessen Worfschaufel in seiner Hand ist, und er wird seine Tenne durch und durch reinigen und den Weizen in seine Scheune sammeln; die Spreu aber wird er verbrennen mit unauslöschlichem Feuer. ¹⁸ Indem er nun auch mit vielem anderen ermahnte, verkündigte er dem Volke gute Botschaft. ¹⁹ Herodes aber, der Vierfürst, weil er wegen der Herodias, des Weibes seines Bruders, und wegen alles Bösen, das Herodes getan hatte, von ihm gestraft wurde, ²⁰ fügte allem auch dies hinzu, daß er Johannes ins Gefängnis einschloß.

DarbyFR⁽ⁱ⁾ ² sous la souveraine sacrificature d'Anne et de Caïphe, la parole de Dieu vint à Jean, le fils de Zacharie, au désert. ³ Et il alla dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance en rémission de péchés; ⁴ comme il est écrit au livre des paroles d'Ésaïe le prophète: "Voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du *Seigneur, faites droits ses sentiers. ⁵ Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, et les choses tortues seront rendues droites, et les sentiers raboteux deviendront des sentiers unis; ⁶ et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu". ⁷ Il disait donc aux foules qui sortaient pour être baptisées par lui: Race de vipères, qui vous a avertis de fuir la colère qui vient? ⁸ Produisez donc des fruits qui conviennent à la repentance; et ne vous mettez pas à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis que Dieu peut, de ces pierres, susciter des enfants à Abraham. ⁹ Et déjà même la cognée est mise à la racine des arbres; tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit, est coupé et jeté au feu. ¹⁰ Et les foules l'interrogèrent, disant: Que faut-il donc que nous fassions? ¹¹ Et répondant, il leur dit: Que celui qui a deux tuniques en donne à celui qui n'en a point, et que celui qui a des vivres fasse de même. ¹² Et des publicains vinrent aussi pour être baptisés; et ils lui dirent: Maître, que faut-il que nous fassions? ¹³ Et il leur dit: Ne percevez rien au delà de ce qui vous est ordonné. ¹⁴ Et des gens de guerre l'interrogèrent aussi, disant: Et nous, que faut-il que nous fassions? Et il leur dit: Ne commettez pas d'extorsions, ni n'accusez faussement personne, et contentez-vous de vos gages. - ¹⁵
Et comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous raisonnaient dans leurs coeurs à l'égard de Jean si lui ne serait point le Christ, ¹⁶ Jean répondait à tous, disant: Moi, je vous baptise avec de l'eau; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, duquel je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie des sandales: lui vous baptisera de l'Esprit Saint, et de feu. ¹⁷ Il a son van dans sa main, et il nettoiera entièrement son aire et assemblera le froment dans son grenier, mais il brûlera la balle au feu inextinguible. ¹⁸ Et faisant aussi plusieurs autres exhortations, il évangélisait donc le peuple; ¹⁹ mais Hérode le tétrarque, étant repris par lui au sujet d'Hérodias, la femme de son frère, et à cause de toutes les choses méchantes qu'Hérode avait faites, ²⁰ ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle de mettre Jean en prison.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Anne et Caïphe étant souverains Sacrificateurs, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean fils de Zacharie, au désert. ³ Et il vint dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le Baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés; ⁴ Comme il est écrit au Livre des paroles d'Esaïe le Prophète, disant : la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert, est : Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, aplanissez ses sentiers. ⁵ Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, et les choses tortues seront redressées, et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis; ⁶ Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu. ⁷ Il disait donc à la foule de ceux qui venaient pour être baptisés par lui : Race de vipères, qui vous a avertis de fuir la colère à venir ? ⁸ Faites des fruits convenables à la repentance, et ne vous mettez point à dire en vous-mêmes : nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis, que Dieu peut faire naître, même de ces pierres, des enfants à Abraham. ⁹ Or la cognée est déjà mise à la racine des arbres; tout arbre donc qui ne fait point de bon fruit, s'en va être coupé, et jeté au feu. ¹⁰ Alors les troupes l'interrogèrent, disant : que ferons-nous donc ? ¹¹ Et il répondit, et leur dit : que celui qui a deux robes en donne une à celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de quoi manger en fasse de même. ¹² Il vint aussi à lui des péagers pour être baptisés, qui lui dirent : maître, que ferons-nous ? ¹³ Et il leur dit : n'exigez rien au-delà de ce qui vous est ordonné. ¹⁴ Les gens de guerre l'interrogèrent aussi, disant : et nous, que ferons-nous ? Il leur dit : n'usez point de concussion, ni de fraude contre personne, mais contentez-vous de vos gages. ¹⁵ Et comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et raisonnait en soi-même si Jean n'était point le Christ, ¹⁶ Jean prit la parole, et dit à tous : pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il en vient un plus puissant que moi, duquel je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie des souliers; celui-là vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit et de feu. ¹⁷ Il a son van en sa main, et il nettoiera entièrement son aire, et assemblera le froment dans son grenier, mais il brûlera la paille au feu qui ne s'éteint point. ¹⁸ Et en faisant plusieurs autres exhortations, il évangélisait au peuple. ¹⁹ Mais Hérode le Tétrarque étant repris par lui au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de Philippe son frère, et à cause de tous les maux qu'il avait faits, ²⁰ Ajouta encore à tous les autres celui de mettre Jean en prison.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ² et du temps des souverains sacrificateurs Anne et Caïphe, -la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert. ³ Et il alla dans tout le pays des environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés, ⁴ selon ce qui est écrit dans le livre des paroles d'Esaïe, le prophète: C'est la voix de celui qui crie dans le désert: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, Aplanissez ses sentiers. ⁵ Toute vallée sera comblée, Toute montagne et toute colline seront abaissées; Ce qui est tortueux sera redressé, Et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis. ⁶ Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu. ⁷ Il disait donc à ceux qui venaient en foule pour être baptisés par lui: Races de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir? ⁸ Produisez donc des fruits dignes de la repentance, et ne vous mettez pas à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père! Car je vous déclare que de ces pierres Dieu peut susciter des enfants à Abraham. ⁹ Déjà même la cognée est mise à la racine des arbres: tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bons fruits sera coupé et jeté au feu. ¹⁰ La foule l'interrogeait, disant: Que devons-nous donc faire? ¹¹ Il leur répondit: Que celui qui a deux tuniques partage avec celui qui n'en a point, et que celui qui a de quoi manger agisse de même. ¹² Il vint aussi des publicains pour être baptisés, et ils lui dirent: Maître, que devons-nous faire? ¹³ Il leur répondit: N'exigez rien au delà de ce qui vous a été ordonné. ¹⁴ Des soldats aussi lui demandèrent: Et nous, que devons-nous faire? Il leur répondit: Ne commettez ni extorsion ni fraude envers personne, et contentez-vous de votre solde. ¹⁵ Comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous se demandaient en eux-mêmes si Jean n'était pas le Christ, ¹⁶ il leur dit à tous: Moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il vient, celui qui est plus puissant que moi, et je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses souliers. Lui, il vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit et de feu. ¹⁷ Il a son van à la main; il nettoiera son aire, et il amassera le blé dans son grenier, mais il brûlera la paille dans un feu qui ne s'éteint point. ¹⁸ C'est ainsi que Jean annonçait la bonne nouvelle au peuple, en lui adressant encore beaucoup d'autres exhortations. ¹⁹ Mais Hérode le tétrarque, étant repris par Jean au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de son frère, et pour toutes les mauvaises actions qu'il avait commises, ²⁰ ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle d'enfermer Jean dans la prison.

2 G1909 et du temps G749 des souverains sacrificateurs G452 Anne G2532 et G2533 Caïphe G4487 , — la parole G2316 de Dieu G1096 fut adressée G5633 G1909 à G2491 Jean G5207 , fils G2197 de Zacharie G1722 , dans G2048 le désert.

3 G2532 Et G2064 il alla G5627 G1519 dans G3956 tout G4066 le pays des environs G2446 du Jourdain G2784 , prêchant G5723 G908 le baptême G3341 de repentance G1519 , pour G859 la rémission G266 des péchés,

4 G5613 selon G1125 ce qui est écrit G5769 G1722 dans G976 le livre G3056 des paroles G2268 d’Esaïe G4396 , le prophète G3004 G5723 G5456 : C’est la voix G994 de celui qui crie G5723 G1722 dans G2048 le désert G2090 : Préparez G5657 G3598 le chemin G2962 du Seigneur G4160 , Aplanissez G5720 G2117 G846 ses G5147 sentiers.

5 G3956 Toute G5327 vallée G2071 sera G5704 G4137 comblée G5701 G2532 , G3956 Toute G3735 montagne G2532 et G1015 toute colline G5013 seront abaissées G5701 G2532 ; G4646 Ce qui est tortueux G1519 sera G2117 redressé G2532 , Et G3598 les chemins G5138 raboteux G1519 seront G3006 aplanis.

6 G2532 Et G3956 toute G4561 chair G3700 verra G5695 G4992 le salut G2316 de Dieu.

7 G3004 Il disait G5707 G3767 donc G1607 à ceux qui venaient G5740 G5734 G3793 en foule G907 pour être baptisés G5683 G5259 par G846 lui G1081 : Races G2191 de vipères G5101 , qui G5213 vous G5263 a appris G5656 G5343 à fuir G5629 G575 G3709 la colère G3195 à venir G5723 ?

8 G4160 Produisez G5657 G3767 donc G2590 des fruits G514 dignes G3341 de la repentance G2532 , et G756 ne vous mettez G5672 G3361 pas G3004 à dire G5721 G1722 en G1438 vous-mêmes G2192 : Nous avons G5719 G11 Abraham G3962 pour père G1063 ! Car G5213 je vous G3004 déclare G5719 G3754 que G1537 de G5130 ces G3037 pierres G2316 Dieu G1410 peut G5736 G1453 susciter G5658 G5043 des enfants G11 à Abraham.

9 G1161 G2235 Déjà G2532 même G513 la cognée G2749 est mise G5736 G4314 à G4491 la racine G1186 des arbres G3956 : tout G1186 arbre G3767 donc G4160 qui ne produit G5723 G3361 pas G2570 de bons G2590 fruits G1581 sera coupé G5743 G2532 et G906 jeté G5743 G1519 au G4442 feu.

10 G2532 G3793 La foule G846 l G1905 ’interrogeait G5707 G3004 , disant G5723 G5101 : Que G4160 devons-nous G0 G3767 donc G4160 faire G5692 ?

11 G846 Il leur G611 répondit G5679 G1161 G3004 G5719 G2192 : Que celui qui a G5723 G1417 deux G5509 tuniques G3330 partage G5628 G2192 avec celui qui n’en a G5723 G3361 point G2532 , et G2192 que celui qui a G5723 G1033 de quoi manger G4160 agisse G5720 G3668 de même.

12 G1161 G2064 Il vint G5627 G2532 aussi G5057 des publicains G907 pour être baptisés G5683 G2532 , et G4314 ils lui G846 G2036 dirent G5627 G1320 : Maître G5101 , que G4160 devons-nous faire G5692 ?

13 G1161 G4314 Il leur G846 G2036 répondit G5627 G4238 : N’exigez G5719 G3367 rien G4119 au delà G3844 de G1299 ce qui G0 G5213 vous G1299 a été ordonné G5772 .

14 G1161 G4754 Des soldats G5734 G2532 aussi G846 lui G1905 demandèrent G5707 G3004 G5723 G2532 : Et G2249 nous G5101 , que G4160 devons-nous faire G5692 G2532 ? G4314 Il leur G846 G2036 répondit G5627 G1286 : Ne commettez ni extorsion G5661 G3366 ni G4811 fraude G5661 G3367 envers personne G2532 , et G714 contentez-vous G5744 G5216 de votre G3800 solde.

15 G1161 ¶ G2992 Comme le peuple G4328 était dans l’attente G5723 G2532 , et G3956 que tous G1260 se demandaient G5740 G1722 en G846 eux-mêmes G2588 G4012 G2491 si Jean G846 G1498 n’était G5751 G3379 pas G5547 le Christ,

16 G2491 il G611 leur dit G5662 G3004 G5723 G537 à tous G3303 : G1473 Moi G5209 , je vous G907 baptise G5719 G5204 d’eau G1161 ; mais G2064 il vient G5736 G2478 , celui qui est plus puissant G3450 que moi G1510 , et je ne suis G5748 G3756 pas G2425 digne G3089 de délier G5658 G2438 la courroie G3739 de ses G5266 souliers G846 . Lui G5209 , il vous G907 baptisera G5692 G1722 du G40 Saint G4151 -Esprit G2532 et G4442 de feu.

17 G3739 Il G846 a son G4425 van G1722 à G5495 la main G2532 ; G1245 il nettoiera G5692 G846 son G257 aire G2532 , et G4863 il amassera G5692 G4621 le blé G1519 dans G846 son G596 grenier G1161 , mais G2618 il brûlera G5692 G892 la paille G4442 dans un feu G762 qui ne s’éteint point.

18 G2532 G3767 G2097 C’est ainsi que Jean annonçait la bonne nouvelle G5710 G2992 au peuple G3870 , en lui adressant G5723 G4183 encore beaucoup G2087 d’autres G3303 exhortations.

19 G1161 Mais G2264 Hérode G5076 le tétrarque G1651 , étant repris G5746 G5259 par G846 Jean G4012 au sujet G2266 d’Hérodias G1135 , femme G846 de son G80 frère G2532 , et G4012 pour G3956 toutes G4190 les mauvaises G3739 actions qu G2264 ’il G4160 avait commises G5656 ,

20 G2532 G4369 ajouta G5656 G2532 encore G1909 à G3956 toutes G5124 les autres celle G2623 d’enfermer G5656 G2491 Jean G1722 dans G5438 la prison.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² nën kryepriftërinjtë Ana dhe Kajfa, fjala e Perëndisë iu drejtua Gjonit, birit të Zakarias, në shkretëtirë. ³ Atëherë ai e përshkoi gjithë krahinën përreth Jordanit, duke predikuar një pagëzim pendimi për faljen e mëkateve, ⁴ ashtu siç është shkruar në librin e fjalëve të profetit Isaia, që thotë: ''Ja zëri i njërit që bërtet në shkretirë: Përgatitni udhën e Zotit, drejtoni shtigjet e tij! ⁵ Çdo luginë të jetë e mbushur dhe çdo mal e kodër të jetë sheshuar; vendet dredha-dredha të drejtohen dhe rrugët e vështira të sheshohen ⁶ dhe çdo mish do të shohë shpëtimin e Perëndisë''. ⁷ Ai, pra, u thoshte turmave që shkonin të pagëzoheshin prej tij: ''Pjellë nepërkash, kush ju ka mesuar t'i arratiseni zemërimit që po vjen? ⁸ Bëni, pra, fryte të denja pendimi dhe mos filloni të thoni brenda jush: "Ne kemi Abrahamin për Atë", sepse unë po ju them se Perëndia mund t'i nxjerrë fëmijë Abrahamit edhe nga këta gurë. ⁹ Tashmë sëpata u vu në rrënjë të pemëve; çdo pemë që nuk jep fryt të mirë do të pritet dhe do të hidhet në zjarr''. ¹⁰ Dhe turmat e pyesnin, duke thënë: ''Dhe ne, pra, ç'të bëjmë?''. ¹¹ Atëherë ai, duke përgjigjur, u tha atyre: ''Ai që ka dy tunika le t'i ndajë me atë që s'ka, dhe ai që ka të hajë le të veprojë po kështu''. ¹² Tani erdhën edhe disa tagrambledhës që të pagëzohen dhe e pyetën: ''Mësues, ç'duhet të bëjmë?''. ¹³ Dhe ai u tha atyre: ''Mos vilni asgjë më tepër nga sa ju është urdhëruar''. ¹⁴ Edhe ushtarët e pyetën duke thënë: ''Dhe ne, ç'duhet të bëjmë?''.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ² при первосвященниках Анне и Каиафе, был глагол Божий к Иоанну, сыну Захарии, в пустыне. ³ И он проходил по всей окрестной стране Иорданской, проповедуя крещение покаяния для прощения грехов, ⁴ как написано в книге слов пророка Исаии, который говорит: глас вопиющего в пустыне: приготовьте путь Господу,прямыми сделайте стези Ему; ⁵ всякий дол да наполнится, и всякая гора и холм да понизятся, кривизны выпрямятся и неровные пути сделаются гладкими; ⁶ и узрит всякая плоть спасение Божие. ⁷ Иоанн приходившему креститься от него народу говорил: порождения ехиднины! кто внушил вам бежать от будущего гнева? ⁸ Сотворите же достойные плоды покаяния и не думайте говорить в себе: отец у насАвраам, ибо говорю вам, что Бог может из камней сих воздвигнуть детей Аврааму. ⁹ Уже и секира при корне дерев лежит: всякое дерево, не приносящее доброго плода, срубают и бросают в огонь. ¹⁰ И спрашивал его народ: что же нам делать? ¹¹ Он сказал им в ответ: у кого две одежды, тот дай неимущему, и у кого есть пища, делай то же. ¹² Пришли и мытари креститься, и сказали ему: учитель! что нам делать? ¹³ Он отвечал им: ничего не требуйте более определенного вам. ¹⁴ Спрашивали его также и воины: а нам что делать? И сказал им: никого не обижайте, не клевещите, и довольствуйтесь своим жалованьем. ¹⁵ Когда же народ был в ожидании, и все помышляли в сердцах своих об Иоанне, неХристос ли он, – ¹⁶ Иоанн всем отвечал: я крещу вас водою, но идет Сильнейший меня, у Которого я недостоин развязать ремень обуви; Он будет крестить вас Духом Святым и огнем. ¹⁷ Лопата Его в руке Его, и Он очистит гумно Свое и соберет пшеницу в житницу Свою, а солому сожжет огнем неугасимым. ¹⁸ Многое и другое благовествовал он народу, поучая его. ¹⁹ Ирод же четвертовластник, обличаемый от него за Иродиаду, жену брата своего, и за все, что сделал Ирод худого, ²⁰ прибавил ко всему прочему и то, что заключил Иоанна в темницу.

Прави правете Неговите пътеки. ⁵ Всяка долина ще се напълни и всяка планина и хълм ще се сниши; кривите пътеки ще станат прави и неравните места – гладки пътища; ⁶ и всяко създание ще види Божието спасение.“ ⁷ И казваше на множествата, които излизаха да се кръщават от него: Рожби на усойница! Кой ви предупреди да бягате от идещия гняв? ⁸ Затова, принасяйте плодове достойни за покаяние и не започвайте да си казвате: Имаме Авраам за баща. Защото ви казвам, че Бог може и от тези камъни да въздигне деца на Авраам. ⁹ А и брадвата лежи вече при корена на дърветата; и така, всяко дърво, което не дава добър плод, се отсича и се хвърля в огън. ¹⁰ И множествата го питаха, като казваха: Тогава какво да правим? ¹¹ А той в отговор им каза: Който има две ризи, нека даде на този, който няма; и който има храна, нека прави същото. ¹² Дойдоха да се кръстят и бирници и му казаха: Учителю, ние какво да правим? ¹³ А той им каза: Не изисквайте нищо повече от това, което ви е определено. ¹⁴ Питаха го и военнослужещи, като казаха: А ние какво да правим? Каза им: Не насилвайте никого и не наклеветявайте; и се задоволявайте със заплатите си. ¹⁵ И понеже народът беше в очакване и всички размишляваха в сърцата си за Йоан, да не би той да е Христос, ¹⁶ Йоан отговори на всички, като каза: Аз ви кръщавам с вода, но идва Онзи, който е по-силен от мен, на когото не съм достоен да развържа ремъка на сандалите Му. Той ще ви кръсти със Светия Дух и огън. ¹⁷ Той държи лопатата в ръката Си, за да очисти добре хармана Си и да събере житото в житницата Си; а плявата ще изгори в неугасимия огън. ¹⁸ И с много други увещания той благовестяваше на народа. ¹⁹ А четверовластникът Ирод, който беше изобличаван от него заради Иродиада, жената на брат си, и заради всичките други злини, които Ирод беше сторил, ²⁰ прибави над всичко и това, че затвори Йоан в тъмницата.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² za velikog svećenika Ane i Kajfe, dođe riječ Božja Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji. ³ On obiđe svu okolicu jordansku propovijedajući obraćeničko krštenje na otpuštenje grijeha ⁴ kao što je pisano u Knjizi besjeda Izaije proroka: Glas viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodinu, poravnite mu staze! ⁵ Svaka dolina neka se ispuni, svaka gora i brežuljak neka se slegne! Što je krivudavo, neka se izravna, a hrapavi putovi neka se izglade! ⁶ I svako će tijelo vidjeti spasenje Božje. ⁷ Govoraše dakle mnoštvu koje je dolazilo da se krsti: "Leglo gujinje! Tko vas samo upozori da bježite od skore srdžbe? ⁸ Donosite dakle plodove dostojne obraćenja. I nemojte početi u sebi govoriti: 'Imamo oca Abrahama!' Jer, kažem vam: Bog iz ovog kamenja može podići djecu Abrahamovu. ⁹ Već je sjekira položena na korijen stablima: svako dakle stablo koje ne donosi dobra roda siječe se i u oganj baca." ¹⁰ Pitalo ga mnoštvo: "Što nam je dakle činiti?" ¹¹ On im odgovaraše: "Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim koji nema. U koga ima hrane, neka učini isto tako." ¹² Dođoše krstiti se i carinici pa ga pitahu: "Učitelju, što nam je činiti?" ¹³ Reče im: "Ne utjerujte više nego što vam je određeno." ¹⁴ Pitahu ga i vojnici: "A nama, što je nama činiti?" I reče im: "Nikome ne činite nasilja, nikoga krivo ne prijavljujte i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom." ¹⁵ Narod bijaše u iščekivanju i svi se u srcu pitahu o Ivanu nije li on možda Krist. ¹⁶ Zato im Ivan svima reče: "Ja vas, istina, vodom krstim. Ali dolazi jači od mene. Ja nisam dostojan odriješiti mu remenje na obući. On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem. ¹⁷ U ruci mu vijača da pročisti gumno svoje i sabere žito u žitnicu svoju, a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim." ¹⁸ I mnogim je drugim pobudama Ivan narodu navješćivao evanđelje. ¹⁹ A Heroda je tetrarha Ivan prekorio zbog Herodijade, žene njegova brata i zbog svih njegovih zlodjela. ²⁰ Svemu tome nadoda Herod još i ovo: zatvori Ivana u tamnicu.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Za nejvyššího kněze Annáše a Kaifáše, stalo se slovo Páně nad Janem synem Zachariášovým na poušti. ³ I chodil po vší krajině ležící při Jordánu a kázal křest pokání na odpuštění hříchů, ⁴ Jakož psáno jest v knihách proroctví Izaiáše proroka, řkoucího: Hlas volajícího na poušti: Připravujte cestu Páně, přímé čiňte stezky jeho. ⁵ Každé údolí bude vyplněno, a každá hora a pahrbek bude ponížen; i budou křivé věci spraveny a ostré cesty budou hladké. ⁶ A uzříť všeliké tělo spasení Boží. ⁷ Pravil pak k zástupům vycházejícím, aby se křtili od něho: Plemeno ještěrčí, kdo je vám ukázal, abyste utekli před budoucím hněvem? ⁸ Protož čiňte ovoce hodné pokání, a neříkejtež u sebe: Otce máme Abrahama. Neboť pravím vám, žeť jest mocen Bůh z kamení tohoto vzbuditi syny Abrahamovi. ⁹ A jižť jest i sekera k kořenu stromů přiložena. Protož každý strom, jenž nenese ovoce dobrého, vyťat a na oheň uvržen bude. ¹⁰ I tázali se ho zástupové, řkouce: Což tedy činiti budeme? ¹¹ A on odpovídaje, pravil jim: Kdo má dvě sukně, dej jednu nemajícímu, a kdo má pokrmy, tolikéž učiň. ¹² Přišli pak i celní křtíti se, i řekli jemu: Mistře, co budeme činiti? ¹³ A on řekl k nim: Nic více nevybírejte než to, což jest ustaveno. ¹⁴ I tázali se ho také i žoldnéři, řkouce: A my což činiti budeme? I řekl jim: Nižádného neutiskujte, ani podvodně čiňte, a dosti mějte na svých žoldích. ¹⁵ A když pak lid očekával, a myslili všickni v srdcích svých o Janovi, nebyl-li by snad on Kristus, ¹⁶ Odpověděl Jan všechněm, a řka: Jáť zajisté křtím vás vodou, ale jdeť silnější nežli já, kteréhožto nejsem hoden rozvázati řeménka u obuvi jeho. Tenť vás křtíti bude Duchem svatým a ohněm. ¹⁷ Jehožto věječka v ruce jeho, a vyčistíť humno své, a shromáždí pšenici do obilnice své, ale plevy páliti bude ohněm neuhasitelným. ¹⁸ A tak mnohé jiné věci, napomínaje, zvěstoval lidu. ¹⁹ Herodes pak čtvrták, když od něho byl trestán pro Herodiadu manželku Filipa bratra svého, i ze všech zlých věcí, kteréž činil Herodes, ²⁰ Přidal i toto nade všecko, že jest vsadil Jana do žaláře.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ² der Annas og Caiphas vare Ypperstepræster: skete Guds Ord til Johannes, Zacharias' Søn, i Ørknen. ³ Og han kom i den hele Egn omkring Jordan og prædikede Omvendelses Daab til Syndernes Forladelse, ⁴ som skrevet er i Esaias den Prophets Talers Bog, hvor han siger: det er hans Røst, som raaber i Ørken: bereder Herrens Vei, gjører hans Stier jævne; ⁵ hver Dal skal opfyldes, og hvert Bjerg og Høi skal nedtrykkes, og det krumme skal gjøres lige, og de ujævne Veie skulle slettes; ⁶ og alt Kjød skal see Guds Frelse. ⁷ Derfor sagde han til Folket, som gik ud at døbes af ham: I Øgleunger, hvo viste Eder, at flye fra den tilkommende Vrede? ⁸ Bærer da Omvendelsens værdige Frugter, og begynder ikke at sige ved Eder selv: vi have Abraham til Fader; thi jeg siger Eder, at Gud kan opvække Abraham Børn af disse Stene. ⁹ Men Øxen ligger allerede ved Roden af Træerne; derfor skal hvert Træ, som ikke bærer god Frugt, afhugges og kastes i Ilden. ¹⁰ Og Folket adspurgte ham sigende: hvad skulle vi da gjøre? ¹¹ Men han svarede og sagde til dem: hvo som har to Kjortler, dele med den, som ingen har; og hvo som har Mad, gjøre ligesaa. ¹² Ogsaa Toldere kom at døbes og de sagde til ham: Mester! hvad skulle vi gjøre? ¹³ Men han sagde til dem: kræver intet mere, end Eder er forordnet. ¹⁴ Men og Stridsmændene spurgte ham og sagde: hvad skulle da vi gjøre? og han sagde til dem: gjører ikke Vold, bruger ikke Underfundighed; og lader Eder nøie med Eders Sold. ¹⁵ Men da Folket var i Forventning, og Alle tænkte i deres Hjerter om Johannes, om han ikke skulde være den Christus, ¹⁶ da svarede Johannes og sagde til Alle: jeg døber Eder vel med Vand, men den kommer, som er stærkere end jeg, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse; han skal døbe Eder med den Hellig Aand og Ild. ¹⁷ Hans Kasteskovl er i hans Haand, og han skal gjennemrense sin Lo og kaste Hveden i sin Lade, men Avnerne skal han opbrænde med uslukkelig Ild. ¹⁸ Ogsaa meget Andet lærte og forkyndte han Folket. ¹⁹ Men der Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes blev straffet af ham for Herodias, hans Broder Philippus' Hustrus, Skyld og for alt det Onde, som Herodes gjorde, ²⁰ saa lagde han til alt det Øvrige ogsaa dette, at han kastede Johannes i Fængsel.

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ² dum la cxefpastreco de Anas kaj Kajafas, venis la vorto de Dio al Johano, filo de Zehxarja, en la dezerto. ³ Kaj li venis en la tutan regionon cxirkaux Jordan, predikante la bapton de pento por la pardonado de pekoj, ⁴ kiel estas skribite en la libro de la vortoj de la profeto Jesaja: Vocxo de krianto en la dezerto: Pretigu la vojon de la Eternulo, Rektigu Liajn irejojn. ⁵ CXiu valo levigxos, Kaj cxiu monto kaj monteto malaltigxos, Kaj la malebenajxo farigxos ebenajxo, Kaj la malglataj vojoj glatigxos; ⁶ Kaj cxiu karno vidos la savon de Dio. ⁷ Li do diris al la homamasoj, kiuj eliris, por esti baptitaj de li:Ho vipuridoj! kiu vin avertis forkuri de la venonta kolero? ⁸ Donu do fruktojn tauxgajn por pento. Kaj ne komencu diri en vi:Ni havas Abrahamon kiel patron; cxar mi diras al vi, ke Dio povas el cxi tiuj sxtonoj starigi idojn al Abraham. ⁹ Kaj la hakilo jam kusxas cxe la radiko de la arboj; tial cxiu arbo, kiu ne donas bonan frukton, estas dehakata, kaj jxetata en fajron. ¹⁰ Kaj la homamasoj lin demandis, dirante:Kion do ni faru? ¹¹ Kaj responde li diris al ili:Kiu havas du tunikojn, tiu donu al la nehavanto; kaj kiu havas mangxajxon, tiu faru tiel same. ¹² Venis ankaux impostistoj, por esti baptitaj, kaj ili diris al li:Majstro, kion ni faru? ¹³ Kaj li diris al ili:Ne postulu pli multe, ol estas ordonite. ¹⁴ Kaj ankaux soldatoj lin demandis, dirante:Kaj kion ni faru? Kaj li diris al ili:Ne perfortu iun, nek maljuste ion postulu, kaj estu kontentaj je via salajro. ¹⁵ Kaj kiam la popolo atendis, kaj cxiuj diskutis en siaj koroj pri Johano, cxu eble li estas la Kristo, ¹⁶ Johano respondis al cxiuj, dirante:Mi ja vin baptas per akvo, sed venas tiu, kiu estas pli potenca ol mi; la rimenon de liaj sxuoj mi ne estas inda malligi; li vin baptos per la Sankta Spirito kaj per fajro; ¹⁷ lia ventumilo estas en lia mano, por ke li elpurigu sian drasxejon, kaj kolektu la tritikon en sian grenejon; sed la grenventumajxon li bruligos per fajro neestingebla. ¹⁸ Kaj per multaj aliaj konsiloj li evangeliis al la popolo. ¹⁹ Sed Herodo, la tetrarhxo, riprocxite de li pri Herodias, la edzino de lia frato, kaj pri cxiuj malbonajxoj, kiujn Herodo faris, ²⁰ aldonis al cxio ankaux cxi tion, ke li ensxlosis Johanon en malliberejo.

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² kui ülempreestreiks olid Annas ja Kaifas, sai Jumala sõna Sakariase poja Johannese kätte kõrves. ³ Ja ta tuli kogu Jordani ümberkaudsele maale ja kuulutas meeleparandusristimist pattude andekssaamiseks, ⁴ nagu on kirjutatud prohvet Jesaja sõnade raamatus: "Hüüdja hääl on kõrves: Valmistage Issanda teed, õgvendage tema teerajad! ⁵ Kõik kuristikud täidetagu ja kõik mäed ja mäekünkad tehtagu madalaks; mis on kõver, saagu sirgeks, ja mis on mätlik, siledaks teeks; ⁶ siis kõik liha näeb Jumala päästet!" ⁷ Siis ta ütles rahvale, kes tuli välja ennast laskma tema poolt ristida: "Te rästikute sigitis, kes on teile annud märku põgeneda tulevase viha eest? ⁸ Seepärast kandke õiget meeleparanduse vilja ja ärge hakake iseenestes ütlema: Meil on isaks Aabraham!

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Kuin Hannas ja Kaiphas ylimmäiset papit olivat: silloin tapahtui Jumalan sana Johannekselle Sakariaan pojalle korvessa, ³ Ja hän tuli kaikkiin maan paikkoihin Jordanin ympäri ja saarnasi parannuksen kastetta syntein anteeksi antamiseksi, ⁴ Niinkuin kirjoitettu on Jesaias prophetan saarnaraamatussa, joka sanoo: huutavan ääni on korvessa: valmistakaat Herran tietä ja tehkäät hänen polkunsa oikiaksi. ⁵ Kaikki laaksot pitää täytettämän ja kaikki vuoret ja mäet alennettaman, väärät pitää ojennettaman, ja koliat tasaiseksi tieksi tehtämän, ⁶ Ja kaikki liha pitää näkemän Jumalan autuuden. ⁷ Niin hän sanoi kansalle, joka tuli antamaan itsiänsä kastaa häneltä: te kyykärmetten sikiät, kuka teitä neuvoi välttämään tulevaista vihaa? ⁸ Tehkäät siis soveliaat parannuksen hedelmät ja älkäät ruvetko sanomaan itsellänne: Abraham on meidän isämme; sillä minä sanon teille, että Jumala taitaa näistä kivistä herättää Abrahamille lapset. ⁹ Mutta jo on myös kirves pantu puiden juurelle; sentähden jokainen puu, joka ei tee hyvää hedelmää, hakataan pois ja tuleen heitetään. ¹⁰ Ja kansa kysyi häneltä, sanoen: mitä meidän pitää tekemän? ¹¹ Niin hän vastaten sanoi heille: jolla on kaksi hametta, antakaan sille, jolla ei yhtään ole, ja jolla on ruokaa, hän tehkään myös niin. ¹² Mutta Publikanit tulivat myös antamaan heitänsä kastaa ja sanoivat hänelle: Mestari, mitä meidän pitää tekemän? ¹³ Vaan hän sanoi heille: älkäät enempää vaatiko kuin teille säätty on. ¹⁴ Niin kysyivät myös häneltä sotamiehet, sanoen: mitä myös meidän pitää tekemän? Ja hän sanoi heille: älkäät kenellekään väkivaltaa taikka vääryyttä tehkö, ja tyytykäät palkkaanne. ¹⁵ Mutta kuin kansa odotti, ja kaikki ajattelivat sydämessänsä Johanneksesta: lieneekö hän Kristus? ¹⁶ Vastasi Johannes, sanoen kaikille: minä tosin kastan teitä vedellä; mutta minua väkevämpi tulee, jonka kengän nauhoja en minä ole kelvollinen päästämään: hän kastaa teitä Pyhällä Hengellä ja tulella. ¹⁷ Jonka viskin on hänen kädessänsä, ja hän perkaa riihensä ja kokoo nisunsa aittaansa, mutta ruumenet polttaa hän sammumattomalla tulella. ¹⁸ Monta tosin myös muuta hän neuvoi ja saarnasi kansalle. ¹⁹ Mutta kun Herodes tetrarka nuhdeltiin häneltä, Herodiaksen veljensä Philippuksen emännän tähden ja kaikesta pahuudesta, jota Herodes teki, ²⁰ Niin hän ylitse kaikkein teki myös sen, että hän salpasi Johanneksen vankiuteen.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ² siihen aikaan kun Hannas oli ylimmäisenä pappina, ynnä myös Kaifas, tuli Jumalan sana Johannekselle, Sakariaan pojalle, erämaassa. ³ Ja hän vaelsi kaikissa seuduissa Jordanin varrella ja saarnasi parannuksen kastetta syntien anteeksisaamiseksi, ⁴ niinkuin on kirjoitettuna profeetta Esaiaan sanojen kirjassa: "Huutavan ääni kuuluu erämaassa: 'Valmistakaa Herralle tie, tehkää polut hänelle tasaisiksi'. ⁵ Kaikki laaksot täytettäköön, ja kaikki vuoret ja kukkulat alennettakoon, ja mutkat tulkoot suoriksi ja koleikot tasaisiksi teiksi, ⁶ ja kaikki liha on näkevä Jumalan autuuden." ⁷ Niin hän sanoi kansalle, joka vaelsi hänen kastettavakseen: "Te kyykäärmeitten sikiöt, kuka on teitä neuvonut pakenemaan tulevaista vihaa? ⁸ Tehkää sentähden parannuksen soveliaita hedelmiä, älkääkä ruvetko sanomaan mielessänne: 'Onhan meillä isänä Aabraham', sillä minä sanon teille, että Jumala voi näistä kivistä herättää lapsia Aabrahamille. ⁹ Jo on myös kirves pantu puitten juurelle; jokainen puu, joka ei tee hyvää hedelmää, siis hakataan pois ja heitetään tuleen." ¹⁰ Ja kansa kysyi häneltä sanoen: "Mitä meidän siis pitää tekemän?" ¹¹ Hän vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Jolla on kaksi ihokasta, antakoon toisen sille, joka on ilman; ja jolla on ruokaa, tehköön samoin". ¹² Niin tuli myös publikaaneja kastettaviksi, ja he sanoivat hänelle: "Opettaja, mitä meidän pitää tekemän?" ¹³ Hän sanoi heille: "Älkää vaatiko enempää, kuin mikä teille on säädetty". ¹⁴ Myös sotamiehet kysyivät häneltä sanoen: "Mitäs meidän pitää tekemän?" Ja hän sanoi heille: "Älkää kiskoko keneltäkään älkääkä kiristäkö, vaan tyytykää palkkaanne". ¹⁵ Mutta kun kansa yhä odotti ja kaikki ajattelivat sydämessään Johanneksesta, eikö hän itse ehkä ollut Kristus, ¹⁶ niin Johannes vastasi kaikille sanoen: "Minä kastan teidät vedellä, mutta on tuleva minua väkevämpi, jonka kengänpaulaakaan minä en ole kelvollinen päästämään; hän kastaa teidät Pyhällä Hengellä ja tulella. ¹⁷ Hänellä on viskimensä kädessään, ja hän puhdistaa puimatanterensa ja kokoaa nisut aittaansa, mutta ruumenet hän polttaa sammumattomassa tulessa." ¹⁸ Antaen myös monia muita kehoituksia hän julisti kansalle evankeliumia. ¹⁹ Mutta kun Herodes, neljännysruhtinas, sai häneltä nuhteita veljensä vaimon, Herodiaan, tähden ja kaiken sen pahan tähden, mitä hän, Herodes, oli tehnyt, ²⁰ niin hän kaiken muun lisäksi teki senkin, että sulki Johanneksen vankeuteen.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Lè sa a, se An ak Kayif ki t'ap sèvi tankou granprèt. Nan menm epòk sa a, Bondye pale ak Jan, pitit Zakari a, ki te nan dezè a. ³ Jan mache nan tout peyi bò larivyè Jouden an; li t'ap bay mesaj sa a: Tounen vin jwenn Bondye. vin resevwa batèm: Bondye va padonnen peche nou yo. ⁴ Se konsa, sa ki te ekri nan Liv ki gen pawòl pwofèt Ezayi a vin rive vre: Se vwa yon nonm k'ap rele nan dezè a: Pare gran wout Seyè nou an. Plani chemen an byen plani pou li. ⁵ Tout fon gen pou konble. Tout gwo mòn, tout ti mòn gen pou vin plat. Kote ki gen detou gen pou vin dwat. Chemen ki an movèz eta gen pou vin bèl. ⁶ Tout moun va wè jan Bondye ap delivre nou an. ⁷ Moun t'ap vin an foul bò kote Jan pou l' te batize yo. Lè konsa li di yo: Bann vèmen! Ki moun ki fè nou konnen nou kapab chape anba kòlè Bondye k'ap vini an? ⁸ Fè bagay ki pou fè wè nou chanje lavi nou tout bon. Sispann di nan kè nou: Se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye! Paske, mwen pa kache di nou sa: Bondye kapab pran wòch sa yo, li fè yo tounen pitit pou Abraram. ⁹ Epitou, rach la tou pare pou koupe rasin pyebwa yo. Nenpòt pyebwa ki pa bay bon donn, yo pral koupe sa, jete nan dife. ¹⁰ Foul moun yo mande l' konsa: Kisa pou nou fè menm? ¹¹ Li reponn yo: Sa ki gen de rad, se pou yo bay sak pa genyen an yonn. Sa ki gen manje pou manje, se pou l' separe l' bay yon lòt. ¹² Kèk pèseptè kontribisyon te vini tou pou l' te batize yo. Yo mande Jan: Mèt, kisa pou nou fè? ¹³ Li reponn yo: Pa fè moun peye plis pase sa lalwa mande a. ¹⁴ Kèk sòlda tou mande li: E nou menm, kisa pou nou fè? Li reponn yo: Pa fè brital ak pesonn. Pa fè manti sou pesonn pou pran lajan nan men yo. Fè kè nou kontan ak sa yo peye nou an. ¹⁵ Pèp la t'ap tann konsa: yo t'ap mande nan kè yo si se pa Jan ki Kris la. ¹⁶ Lè sa a, Jan di yo tout: Mwen batize nou nan dlo. Men, gen yon moun ki gen pou vini ki gen plis pouvwa anpil pase mwen. Mwen menm, mwen pa bon ase pou m' ta demare kòd sapat ki nan pye li. Se li menm ki va batize nou nan Sentespri ak nan dife. ¹⁷ Laye l' nan men li, l'ap vannen tout grenn ki sou glasi a. La ranmase grenn ki bon yo, la mete yo nan galata li.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Yang menjabat imam-imam agung ialah Hanas dan Kayafas. Pada tahun itulah Allah berbicara kepada Yohanes, anak Zakharia di padang pasir. ³ Maka Yohanes pergi ke mana-mana di seluruh daerah Sungai Yordan dan menyampaikan berita dari Allah. Yohanes berseru, "Bertobatlah dari dosa-dosamu, dan kamu harus dibaptis, supaya Allah mengampuni kamu." ⁴ Itu sesuai dengan yang tertulis di dalam buku Nabi Yesaya: "Ada orang berseru-seru di padang pasir, 'Siapkanlah jalan untuk Tuhan, ratakanlah jalan bagi Dia. ⁵ Setiap lembah hendaklah ditimbun, setiap gunung dan bukit diratakan. Jalan yang berliku-liku hendaklah diluruskan, dan jalan yang lekak-lekuk diratakan. ⁶ Orang-orang di seluruh dunia akan melihat Allah menyelamatkan manusia!'" ⁷ Banyak orang datang kepada Yohanes untuk dibaptis. Yohanes berkata kepada mereka, "Kamu orang jahat! Siapa yang mengatakan bahwa kamu dapat luput dari hukuman Allah yang akan datang? ⁸ Tunjukkanlah dengan perbuatanmu bahwa kamu sudah bertobat dari dosa-dosamu! Jangan mulai berkata bahwa Abraham adalah nenek moyangmu. Ingat: Dari batu-batu ini pun Allah sanggup membuat keturunan untuk Abraham! ⁹ Kapak sudah siap untuk menebang pohon sampai ke akar-akarnya. Setiap pohon yang tidak menghasilkan buah yang baik akan ditebang dan dibuang ke dalam api." ¹⁰ "Jadi, apa yang harus kami buat?" tanya orang-orang kepada Yohanes. ¹¹ Yohanes menjawab, "Orang yang mempunyai dua helai baju, harus memberikan sehelai kepada yang tidak punya; dan orang yang mempunyai makanan, harus membagikannya." ¹² Penagih-penagih pajak juga datang kepada Yohanes untuk dibaptis. Mereka bertanya, "Bapak Guru, apa yang harus kami buat?" ¹³ Yohanes menjawab, "Janganlah menagih lebih banyak dari apa yang sudah ditetapkan." ¹⁴ Ada juga prajurit yang bertanya, "Bagaimana dengan kami? Apa yang harus kami buat?" Yohanes menjawab, "Jangan memeras siapa pun dan jangan merampas uang dengan tuduhan-tuduhan palsu. Puaslah dengan gajimu!" ¹⁵ Pada waktu itu orang-orang mulai bertanya-tanya, apakah Yohanes Raja Penyelamat yang mereka nantikan. ¹⁶ Itu sebabnya Yohanes berkata kepada mereka semua, "Saya membaptis kamu dengan air, tetapi nanti akan datang Orang yang lebih besar daripada saya. Membuka tali sepatu-Nya pun saya tidak layak. Ia akan membaptis kamu dengan Roh Allah dan api. ¹⁷ Di tangan-Nya ada nyiru untuk menampi semua gandum-Nya sampai bersih.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² sotto Anna, e Caiafa, sommi sacerdoti; la parola di Dio fu indirizzata a Giovanni, figliuol di Zaccaria, nel deserto. ³ Ed egli venne per tutta la contrada d’intorno al Giordano, predicando il battesimo del ravvedimento, in remission de’ peccati. ⁴ Siccome egli è scritto nel libro delle parole del profeta Isaia, dicendo: Vi è una voce d’uno, che grida nel deserto: Acconciate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri. ⁵ Sia ripiena ogni valle, e sia abbassato ogni monte, ed ogni colle; e sieno ridirizzati i luoghi distorti, e le vie aspre appianate. ⁶ Ed ogni carne vedrà la salute di Dio. ⁷ Egli adunque diceva alle turbe, che uscivano per esser da lui battezzate: Progenie di vipere, chi vi ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire? ⁸ Fate adunque frutti degni del ravvedimento; e non prendete a dir fra voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abrahamo per padre; perciocchè io vi dico che Iddio può, eziandio da queste pietre, far sorgere de’ figliuoli ad Abrahamo. ⁹ Or già è posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero adunque che non fa buon frutto è tagliato, e gettato nel fuoco. ¹⁰ E le turbe lo domandarono, dicendo: Che faremo noi dunque? ¹¹ Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Chi ha due vesti ne faccia parte a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare faccia il simigliante. ¹² Or vennero ancora de’ pubblicani, per essere battezzati, e gli dissero: Maestro, che dobbiam noi fare? ¹³ Ed egli disse loro: Non riscotete nulla più di ciò che vi è stato ordinato. ¹⁴ I soldati ancora lo domandarono, dicendo: E noi, che dobbiam fare? Ed egli disse loro: Non fate storsione ed alcuno, e non oppressate alcuno per calunnia; e contentatevi del vostro soldo. ¹⁵ Ora, stando il popolo in aspettazione, e ragionando tutti ne’ lor cuori, intorno a Giovanni, se egli sarebbe punto il Cristo; ¹⁶ Giovanni rispose, dicendo a tutti: Ben vi battezzo io con acqua; ma colui ch’è più forte di me, di cui io non son degno di sciogliere il correggiuol delle scarpe, viene; esso vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo, e col fuoco. ¹⁷ Egli ha la sua ventola in mano, e netterà interamente l’aia sua, e raccoglierà il grano nel suo granaio; ma arderà la paglia col fuoco inestinguibile. ¹⁸ Così egli evangelizzava al popolo, esortandolo per molti altri ragionamenti. ¹⁹ Or Erode il tetrarca, essendo da lui ripreso a motivo di Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; e per tutti i mali ch’egli avea commessi; ²⁰ aggiunse ancora questo a tutti gli altri, ch’egli rinchiuse Giovanni in prigione.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ² sotto i sommi sacerdoti Anna e Caiàfa, la parola di Dio fu diretta a Giovanni, figliuol di Zaccaria, nel deserto. ³ Ed egli andò per tutta la contrada d’intorno al Giordano, predicando un battesimo di ravvedimento per la remissione de’ peccati, ⁴ secondo che è scritto nel libro delle parole del profeta Isaia: V’è una voce d’uno che grida nel deserto: Preparate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri. ⁵ Ogni valle sarà colmata ed ogni monte ed ogni colle sarà abbassato; le vie tortuose saran fatte diritte e le scabre saranno appianate; ⁶ ed ogni carne vedrà la salvezza di Dio. ⁷ Giovanni dunque diceva alle turbe che uscivano per esser battezzate da lui: Razza di vipere, chi v’ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire? ⁸ Fate dunque dei frutti degni del ravvedimento, e non vi mettete a dire in voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abramo per padre! Perché vi dico che Iddio può da queste pietre far sorgere dei figliuoli ad Abramo. ⁹ E ormai è anche posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero dunque che non fa buon frutto, vien tagliato e gittato nel fuoco. ¹⁰ E le turbe lo interrogavano, dicendo: E allora, che dobbiam fare? ¹¹ Ed egli rispondeva loro: Chi ha due tuniche, ne faccia parte a chi non ne ha; e chi ha da mangiare, faccia altrettanto. ¹² Or vennero anche dei pubblicani per esser battezzati, e gli dissero: Maestro, che dobbiam fare? ¹³ Ed egli rispose loro: Non riscotete nulla di più di quello che v’è ordinato. ¹⁴ Lo interrogaron pure de’ soldati, dicendo: E noi, che dobbiam fare? Ed egli a loro: Non fate estorsioni, né opprimete alcuno con false denunzie e contentatevi della vostra paga. ¹⁵ Or stando il popolo in aspettazione e domandandosi tutti in cuor loro riguardo a Giovanni se talora non fosse lui il Cristo, ¹⁶ Giovanni rispose, dicendo a tutti: Ben vi battezzo io con acqua; ma vien colui che è più forte di me, al quale io non son degno di sciogliere il legaccio dei calzari. Egli vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo e col fuoco. ¹⁷ Egli ha in mano il suo ventilabro per nettare interamente l’aia sua, e raccogliere il grano nel suo granaio; ma quant’è alla pula la brucerà con fuoco inestinguibile. ¹⁸ Così, con molte e varie esortazioni, evangelizzava il popolo; ¹⁹ ma Erode, il tetrarca, essendo da lui ripreso riguardo ad Erodiada, moglie di suo fratello, e per tutte le malvagità ch’esso Erode avea commesse, ²⁰ aggiunse a tutte le altre anche questa, di rinchiudere Giovanni in prigione.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² prie vyriausiųjų kunigų Ano ir Kajafo, buvo Viešpaties žodis Zacharijo sūnui Jonui dykumoje. ³ Jis apėjo visą Pajordanę, skelbdamas atgailos krikštą nuodėmėms atleisti, ⁴ kaip parašyta pranašo Izaijo žodžių knygoje: “Dykumoje šaukiančiojo balsas: ‘Paruoškite Viešpačiui kelią, ištiesinkite Jam takus! ⁵ Kiekvienas slėnis tebūna užpiltas, kiekvienas kalnas bei kalnelisnulygintas. Kreivi keliai tetampa tiesūs, o duobėtiišlyginti. ⁶ Ir kiekvienas kūnas išvys Dievo išgelbėjimą’ ”. ⁷ Ateinančioms pas jį krikštytis minioms Jonas sakė: “Angių išperos, kas perspėjo jus bėgti nuo besiartinančios rūstybės? ⁸ Duokite vaisių, vertų atgailos! Ir nebandykite ramintis: ‘Mūsų tėvasAbraomas’. Aš jums sakau, kad Dievas gali pažadinti Abraomui vaikų iš šitų akmenų. ⁹ Štai kirvis jau prie medžių šaknų.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Za najwyższych kapłanów Annasza i Kaifasza, stało się słowo Boże do Jana, Zacharyjaszowego syna, na puszczy. ³ I przyszedł do wszystkiej krainy leżącej około Jordanu, każąc chrzest pokuty na odpuszczenie grzechów. ⁴ Jako napisano w księgach proroctw Izajasza proroka, mówiącego: Głos wołającego na puszczy; gotujcie drogę Pańską, proste czyńcie ścieżki jego. ⁵ Każdy padół będzie wypełniony, a każda góra i pagórek będzie zniżony, i miejsca krzywe wyprostują się, a ostre drogi będą gładkiemi; ⁶ I ogląda wszelkie ciało zbawienie Boże. ⁷ Mówił tedy ludowi, który wychodził, aby był ochrzczony od niego: Rodzaju jaszczurczy! któż wam pokazał, żebyście uciekali przed przyszłym gniewem? ⁸ Przynoścież tedy owoce godne pokuty, a nie poczynajcie mówić sami w sobie: Ojca mamy Abrahama; albowiem powiadam wam, że Bóg może i z tych kamieni wzbudzić dzieci Abrahamowi. ⁹ A już siekiera do korzenia drzew przyłożona jest; przetoż każde drzewo, które nie przynosi owocu dobrego, bywa wycięte i w ogień wrzucone. ¹⁰ I pytał go lud mówiąc: Cóż tedy czynić będziemy? ¹¹ A on odpowiadając rzekł im: Kto ma dwie suknie, niechaj udzieli temu, co nie ma; a kto ma pokarm niech także uczyni. ¹² Przyszli też i celnicy, aby byli chrzczeni, i rzekli do niego: Nauczycielu! a my cóż czynić będziemy? ¹³ A on rzekł do nich: Nic więcej nie wyciągajcie nad to, co wam postanowiono. ¹⁴ Pytali go też i żołnierze, mówiąc: A my cóż czynić będziemy? I rzekł do nich: Nikomu gwałtu nie czyńcie, i nikogo nie potwarzajcie, a przestawajcie na żołdzie waszym. ¹⁵ A gdy lud oczekiwał, i myślili wszyscy w sercach swych o Janie, jeśliby snać on nie był Chrystusem, ¹⁶ Odpowiedział Jan wszystkim, mówiąc: Jać was chrzczę wodą; lecz idzie mocniejszy nad mię, któremum nie jest godzien rozwiązać rzemyka u butów jego; ten was chrzcić będzie Duchem Świętym i ogniem. ¹⁷ Którego łopata jest w ręku jego, a wyczyści bojewisko swoje, i zgromadzi pszenicę do gumna swego, ale plewy spali ogniem nieugaszonym. ¹⁸ A tak wiele i innych rzeczy napominając, odpowiadał ludowi. ¹⁹ A Herod Tetrarcha, będąc strofowany od niego dla Herodyjady, żony Filipa, brata jego, i dla wszystkich złych spraw, które czynił Herod. ²⁰ Przydał i to nade wszystko, iż wsadził Jana do więzienia.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ² sendo Anás e Caifás sumos sacerdotes, veio a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacarias, no deserto. ³ E ele percorreu toda a circunvizinhança do Jordão, pregando o baptismo de arrependimento para remissão de pecados; ⁴ como está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaías: Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor; endireitai as suas veredas. ⁵ Todo vale se encherá, e se abaixará todo monte e outeiro; o que é tortuoso se endireitará, e os caminhos escabrosos se aplanarão; ⁶ e toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus. ⁷ João dizia, pois, às multidões que saíam para ser baptizadas por ele: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensina a fugir da ira vindoura? ⁸ Produzi, pois, frutos dignos de arrependimento; e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos por pai a Abrão; porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abrão. ⁹ Também já está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda árvore, pois, que não produz bom fruto, é cortada e lançada no fogo. ¹⁰ Ao que lhe perguntavam as multidões: Que faremos, pois? ¹¹ Respondia-lhes então: Aquele que tem duas túnicas, reparta com o que não tem nenhuma, e aquele que tem alimentos, faça o mesmo. ¹² Chegaram também uns publicanos para serem baptizados, e perguntaram-lhe: Mestre, que havemos nós de fazer? ¹³ Respondeu-lhes ele: Não cobreis além daquilo que vos foi prescrito. ¹⁴ Interrogaram-no também uns soldados: E nós, que faremos? Disse-lhes: A ninguém queirais extorquir coisa alguma; nem deis denúncia falsa; e contentai-vos com o vosso soldo. ¹⁵ Ora, estando o povo em expectativa e arrazoando todos em seus corações a respeito de João, se porventura seria ele o Cristo, ¹⁶ respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, vos baptizo em água, mas vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; ele vos baptizará no Espírito Santo e em fogo. ¹⁷ A sua pá ele tem na mão para limpar bem a sua eira, e recolher o trigo ao seu celeiro; mas queimará a palha em fogo inextinguível. ¹⁸ Assim pois, com muitas outras exortações ainda, anunciava o evangelho ao povo. ¹⁹ Mas o tetrarca Herodes, sendo repreendido por ele por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão, e por todas as maldades que havia feito, ²⁰ acrescentou a todas elas ainda esta, a de encerrar João no cárcere.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² mens Annas og Kaifas var yppersteprester, da kom Guds ord til Johannes, Sakarias' sønn, i ørkenen; ³ og han kom rundt i hele landet om Jordan og forkynte omvendelses dåp til syndenes forlatelse, ⁴ således som det er skrevet i profeten Esaias' talers bok: Det er en røst av en som roper i ørkenen: Rydd Herrens vei, gjør hans stier jevne! ⁵ Hver dal skal fylles, og hvert fjell og hver haug skal senkes, og det krokete skal rettes, og de knudrete veier jevnes, ⁶ og alt kjød skal se Guds frelse. ⁷ Han sa da til folket som drog ut for å døpes av ham: Ormeyngel! hvem lærte eder å fly for den kommende vrede? ⁸ Bær derfor frukter som er omvendelsen verdige, og gi eder ikke til å si ved eder selv: Vi har Abraham til far! for jeg sier eder at Gud kan opvekke Abraham barn av disse stener. ⁹ Øksen ligger også allerede ved roten av trærne; derfor blir hvert tre som ikke bærer god frukt, hugget ned og kastet på ilden. ¹⁰ Og folket spurte ham: Hvad skal vi da gjøre? ¹¹ Han svarte dem: Den som har to kjortler, skal dele med den som ingen har, og den som har mat, skal gjøre likeså! ¹² Men også toldere kom for å døpes, og de sa til ham: Mester! hvad skal vi gjøre? ¹³ Han sa til dem: Krev ikke mere enn hvad eder er foreskrevet! ¹⁴ Men også krigsfolk spurte ham og sa: Og vi, hvad skal vi gjøre? Og han sa til dem: Press ikke penger ut av nogen ved vold eller ved svik, og la eder nøie med eders lønn! ¹⁵ Men da folket gikk i forventning, og alle tenkte i sitt hjerte på Johannes, om ikke han var Messias, ¹⁶ da svarte Johannes og sa til alle: Jeg døper eder med vann; men den kommer som er sterkere enn jeg, han hvis skorem jeg ikke er verdig til å løse; han skal døpe eder med den Hellige Ånd og ild; ¹⁷ han har sin kasteskovl i sin hånd, og han skal rense sin låve og samle hveten i sin lade, men agnene skal han brenne op med uslukkelig ild. ¹⁸ Også mange andre formaninger gav han folket, og forkynte dem evangeliet. ¹⁹ Men fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, som blev refset av ham for sin brorkone Herodias' skyld, og for alt det onde Herodes hadde gjort, ²⁰ han la også dette til alt det andre, at han kastet Johannes i fengsel.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² şi în zilele marilor preoţi Ana şi Caiafa, -Cuvîntul lui Dumnezeu a vorbit lui Ioan, fiul lui Zaharia în pustie. ³ Şi Ioan a venit prin tot ţinutul din împrejurimile Iordanului, şi propovăduia botezul pocăinţei, pentru iertarea păcatelor, ⁴ după cum este scris în cartea cuvintelor proorocului Isaia:,,Iată glasul celui ce strigă în pustie:,Pregătiţi calea Domnului, neteziţi -I cărările. ⁵ Orice vale va fi astupată, orice munte şi orice deal va fi prefăcut în loc neted; căile strîmbe vor fi îndreptate, şi drumurile zgronţuroase vor fi netezite. ⁶ Şi orice făptură va vedea mîntuirea lui Dumnezeu.`` ⁷ Ioan zicea dar noroadelor, cari veneau să fie botezate de el:,,Pui de năpîrci, cine v'a învăţat să fugiţi de mînia viitoare? ⁸ Faceţi dar roduri vrednice de pocăinţa voastră, şi nu vă apucaţi să ziceţi în voi înşivă:,Avem pe Avraam ca tată!` Căci vă spun că Dumnezeu din pietrele acestea poate să ridice fii lui Avraam. ⁹ Securea a şi fost înfiptă la rădăcina pomilor: deci, orice pom care nu face roadă bună, este tăiat şi aruncat în foc.`` ¹⁰ Noroadele îl întrebau, şi ziceau:,,Atunci ce trebuie să facem?`` ¹¹ Drept răspuns, el le zicea:,,Cine are două haine, să împartă cu cine n'are nici una; şi cine are de mîncare, să facă la fel.`` ¹² Au venit şi nişte vameşi să fie botezaţi, şi i-au zis:,,Învăţătorului, noi ce trebuie să facem?`` ¹³ El le -a răspuns:,,Să nu cereţi nimic mai mult peste ce v'a fost poruncit să luaţi.`` ¹⁴ Nişte oştaşi îl întrebau şi ei, şi ziceau:,,Dar noi ce trebuie să facem?`` El le -a răspuns:,,Să nu stoarceţi nimic dela nimeni prin ameninţări, nici să nu învinuiţi pe nimeni pe nedrept, ci să vă mulţămiţi cu lefurile voastre.`` ¹⁵ Fiindcă norodul era în aşteptare, şi toţi se gîndeau în inimile lor cu privire la Ioan, dacă nu cumva este el Hristosul, ¹⁶ Ioan, drept răspuns, a zis tuturor:,,Cît despre mine, eu vă botez cu apă; dar vine Acela care este mai puternic decît mine, şi căruia eu nu sînt vrednic să -I desleg cureaua încălţămintelor. El vă va boteza cu Duhul Sfînt şi cu foc. ¹⁷ Acela are lopata în mînă; Îşi va curăţi aria cu desăvîrşire, şi Îşi va strînge grîul în grînar, iar pleava o va arde într'un foc care nu se stinge.`` ¹⁸ Astfel propovăduia Ioan norodului Evanghelia, şi -i dădea încă multe alte îndemnuri. ¹⁹ Dar cîrmuitorul Irod, care era mustrat de Ioan pentru Irodiada, nevasta fratelui său Filip, şi pentru toate relele pe cari le făcuse, ²⁰ a mai adăugat la toate celelalte rele şi pe acela că a închis pe Ioan în temniţă.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² за первосвящеників Анни й Кайяфи було Боже слово в пустині Іванові, сину Захарія. ³ І він перейшов усю землю Йорданську, проповідуючи хрищення покаяння для прощення гріхів, ⁴ як написано в книзі пророцтва пророка Ісаї: Голос того, хто кличе: У пустині готуйте дорогу для Господа, рівняйте стежки Йому! ⁵ Нехай кожна долина наповниться, гора ж кожна та пригорок знизиться, що нерівне, нехай випростовується, а дороги вибоїсті стануть гладенькі, ⁶ і кожна людина побачить Боже спасіння! ⁷ А Іван говорив до людей, хто приходив, христитися в нього: Роде зміїний, хто навчив вас тікати від гніву майбутнього? ⁸ Отож, учиніть гідний плід покаяння. І не починайте казати в собі: Маємо батька Авраама. Бо кажу вам, що Бог може піднести дітей Авраамові з цього каміння. ⁹ Бо вже он до коріння дерев і сокира прикладена: кожне ж дерево, що доброго плоду не родить, буде зрубане та до огню буде вкинене. ¹⁰ А люди питали його й говорили: Що ж нам робити? ¹¹ І сказав він у відповідь їм: У кого дві сорочці, нехай дасть немаючому; а хто має поживу, нехай робить так само. ¹² І приходили й митники, щоб христитись від нього, і питали його: Учителю, що ми маємо робити? ¹³ А він їм казав: Не стягайте нічого над те, що вам звелено. ¹⁴ Питали ж його й вояки й говорили: А нам що робити? І він їм відповів: Нікого не кривдьте, ані не оскаржайте фальшиво, удовольняйтесь платнею своєю. ¹⁵ Коли ж усі люди чекали, і в серцях своїх думали всі про Івана, чи то він не Христос, ¹⁶ Іван відповідав усім, кажучи: Я хрищу вас водою, але йде ось Потужніший за мене, що Йому розв'язати ремінця від Його взуття я негідний, Він христитиме вас Святим Духом й огнем! ¹⁷ У руці Своїй має Він віячку, і перечистить Свій тік: пшеницю збере до засіків Своїх, а полову попалить ув огні невгасимім. ¹⁸ Тож багато навчав він і іншого, звіщаючи Добру Новину народові. ¹⁹ А Ірод тетрарх, що Іван докоряв йому за Іродіяду, дружину брата свого, і за все зло, яке заподіяв був Ірод, ²⁰ до всього додав іще й те, що Івана замкнув до в'язниці.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² за архиєреїв Анни та Каяфи, стало ся слово Боже до Йоана, Захаріїного сина, у пустинї. ³ І ходив він по всій околицї Йорданській, проповідуючи хрещеннє покаяння на прощенне гріхів, ⁴ як писано в книзї словес Ісаїї пророка, глаголючого: Голос покликуючого в пустині: Приготовте дорогу Господню, правими робіть стежки Його. ⁵ Всяка долина нехай заповнить ся, і всяка гора і горб принизить ся, і крива нехай буде права, й груднисті нехай будуть дорогами рівними; ⁶ і побачить усяке тіло спасеннє Боже. ⁷ Говорив тодї до людей, що вийшли охреститись від него: Кодло гадюче, хто остеріг вас, щоб утїкали від настигаючого гнїва? ⁸ Принесіть же овощ достойний покаяння, і не починайте казати самі собі: В нас отець Авраам; глаголю бо вам: Що зможе Бог з каміння сього підняти дітей Авраамові. ⁹ Вже ж і сокира коло кореня дерева лежить; тим кожне дерево, що не дає доброго овощу, зрубують та й в огонь кидають. ¹⁰ І питав його народ, кажучи: Що ж оце робити мем ? ¹¹ Озвав ся ж і каже їм: Хто має дві одежинї, нехай наділить немаючого; й хто має харч, нехай так само робить. ¹² Прийшли ж і митники хреститись, і промовили до него: Учителю, що нам робити? ¹³ Він же каже до них: Нічого більш над те, що звелено вам, не вимагайте. ¹⁴ Питали ж його й воїни, кажучи: А нам що робити? І рече до них: Нїкому не робіть насилля, анї обвинувачуйте криво, і вдовольняйтесь платою вашою. ¹⁵ Як же були в непевностї люде, і всі говорили в серці своїм про Йоана, чи не Христос він, ¹⁶ озвавсь Йоан до всіх, глаголючи: Я водою хрещу вас; ійде ж потужніший від мене, котрому недостоєн я розвязати ременя обувя Його: Той хрестити ме вас Духом сьвятим і огнем; ¹⁷ котрого лопата в руці Його, й перечистить тік свій, і збере пшеницю в клуню свою, а полову спалить огнем невгасаючим. ¹⁸ І багато иншого, навчаючи, благовіствував людям. ¹⁹ Ірод же четверовластник, докорений від него за Іродияду, жінку Филипа, брата свого, і за все, що коїв лихого Ірод, ²⁰ додав ще й се до всього, й запер Йоана в темниці.
