Luke 3

1 The preaching and baptism of John: 15 his testimony of Christ. 20 Herod imprisoneth John. 21 Christ baptized, receiveth testimony from heaven. 23 The age, and genealogy of Christ from Joseph upwards.

 3:1 Now 1161 in the fifteenth 4003 year 2094 of the reign 2231 of Tiberius 5086 Caesar 2541, when Pontius 4194 Pilate 4091 was governor 2230 of Judea 2453, and Herod 2264 was tetrarch 5067b of Galilee 1056, and his brother 80 Philip 5376 was tetrarch 5067b of the region 5561 of Ituraea 2484 and Trachonitis 5139, and Lysanias 3078 was tetrarch 5067b of Abilene 9,

 3:2 in the high 749 priesthood 749 of Annas 452 and Caiaphas 2533, the word 4487 of God 2316 came 1096 to John 2491, the son 5207 of Zacharias 2197, in the wilderness 2048.

 3:3 And he came 2064 into all 3956 the district 4066 around 4066 the Jordan 2446, preaching 2784 a baptism 908 of repentance 3341 for the forgiveness 859 of sins 266;

 3:4 as it is written 1125 in the book 976 of the words 3056 of Isaiah 2268 the prophet 4396, “THE VOICE 5456 OF ONE CRYING 994 IN THE WILDERNESS 2048, ‘MAKE 2090 READY 2090 THE WAY 3598 OF THE LORD 2962, MAKE 4160 HIS PATHS 5147 STRAIGHT 2117.

 3:5 ‘EVERY 3956 RAVINE 5327 WILL BE FILLED 4137, AND EVERY 3956 MOUNTAIN 3735 AND HILL 1015 WILL BE BROUGHT 5013 LOW 5013; THE CROOKED 4646 WILL BECOME 1510 1519 STRAIGHT 2117, AND THE ROUGH 5138 ROADS 3598 SMOOTH 3006;

 3:6 AND ALL 3956 FLESH 4561 WILL SEE 3708 THE SALVATION 4992 OF GOD 2316.’”

 3:7 ¶ So 3767 he [began] saying 3004 to the crowds 3793 who were going 1607 out to be baptized 907 by him, “You brood 1081 of vipers 2191, who 5101 warned 5263 you to flee 5343 from the wrath 3709 to come 3195?

 3:8 “Therefore 3767 bear 4160 fruits 2590 in keeping 514 with repentance 3341, and do not begin 757 to say 3004 to yourselves 1438, ‘We have 2192 Abraham 11 for our father 3962,’ for I say 3004 to you that from these 3778 stones 3037 God 2316 is able 1410 to raise 1453 up children 5043 to Abraham 11.

 3:9 “Indeed 2532 the axe 513 is already 2235 laid 2749 at the root 4491 of the trees 1186; so 3767 every 3956 tree 1186 that does not bear 4160 good 2570 fruit 2590 is cut 1581 down 1581 and thrown 906 into the fire 4442.”

 3:10 ¶ And the crowds 3793 were questioning 1905 him, saying 3004, “Then 3767 what 5101 shall we do 4160?”

 3:11 And he would answer 611 and say 3004 to them, “The man who has 2192 two 1417 tunics 5509 is to share 3330 with him who has 2192 none 3361; and he who has 2192 food 1033 is to do 4160 likewise 3668.”

 3:12 And [some] tax 5057 collectors 5057 also 2532 came 2064 to be baptized 907, and they said 3004 to him, “Teacher 1320, what 5101 shall we do 4160?”

 3:13 And he said 3004 to them, “Collect 4238 no 3367 more 4183 than 3844 what you have been ordered 1299 to.”

 3:14 [Some] soldiers 4754 were questioning 1905 him, saying 3004, “And [what about] us, what 5101 shall we do 4160?” And he said 3004 to them, “Do not take 1286 money 1286 from anyone 3367 by force 1286, or 3366 accuse 4811 [anyone] falsely 4811, and be content 714 with your wages 3800.”

 3:15 ¶ Now 1161 while the people 2992 were in a state 4328 of expectation 4328 and all 3956 were wondering 1260 in their hearts 2588 about 4012 John 2491, as to whether 3379 he was the Christ 5547,

 3:16 John 2491 answered 611 and said 3004 to them all 3956, “As for me, I baptize 907 you with water 5204; but One is coming 2064 who is mightier 2478 than I, and I am 1510 not fit 2425 to untie 3089 the thong 2438 of His sandals 5266; He will baptize 907 you with the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 and fire 4442.

 3:17 “His winnowing 4425 fork 4425 is in His hand 5495 to thoroughly 1245a clear 1245a His threshing 257 floor 257, and to gather 4863 the wheat 4621 into His barn 596; but He will burn 2618 up the chaff 892 with unquenchable 762 fire 4442.”

 3:18 ¶ So 3767 with many 4183 other 2087 exhortations 3870 he preached 2097 the gospel 2097 to the people 2992.

 3:19 But when Herod 2264 the tetrarch 5068a was reprimanded 1651 by him because 4012 of Herodias 2266, his brother’s 80 wife 1135, and because 4012 of all 3956 the wicked 4190 things 4190 which 3739 Herod 2264 had done 4160,

 3:20 Herod also 2532 added 4369 this 3778 to them all 3956: he locked 2623 John 2491 up in prison 5438.

 3:21 ¶ Now 1161 when 1722 all 537a the people 2992 were baptized 907, Jesus 2424 was also 2532 baptized 907, and while He was praying 4336, heaven 3772 was opened 455,

 3:22 and the Holy 40 Spirit 4151 descended 2597 upon Him in bodily 4984 form 1491b like 5613 a dove 4058, and a voice 5456 came 1096 out of heaven 3772, “You are My beloved 27 Son 5207, in You I am 2106 well-pleased 2106.”

 3:23 ¶ When He began 757 His ministry, Jesus 2424 Himself 846 was about 5616 thirty 5144b years 2094 of age 2094, being 1510, as was supposed 3543, the son 5207 of Joseph 2501, the son 5207 of Eli 2242,
