Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius
Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother
Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of
Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
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? And he said unto them, Do
violence to no man, neither accuse any 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 with water; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to
unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and
with fire:
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his
garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire
unquenchable.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached
he unto the people.
19 But 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.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to
pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying,
the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape
like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am
well pleased.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years
of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,

Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son
