ABP - Luke - 3

3:1  [2in 4year 1And 3the fifteenth] of the governing of Tiberius Caesar, and the governing of Pontius Pilate of the Jews, and [2being tetrarch 3of Galilee 1Herod], and Philip his brother being tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis the region, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,

3:2  with chief priests Annas and Caiaphas, came the word of God unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

3:3  And he went into all the place round about the Jordan proclaiming an immersion of repentance for a release of sins;

3:4  as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice yelling in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord! [2straight 1Make] his roads!

3:5  Every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered; and [3will be 1the 2crooked] for straight, and the rough for [2ways 1smooth];

3:6  and [3shall see 1all 2flesh] the deliverance of God.

3:7  He said then to the [2coming forth 1multitudes] to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers, who indicated to you to flee from the [2about to be 1wrath]?

3:8  Do then fruits worthy of the repentance! For you should not begin to say among yourselves, [2father 1We have] Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able from out of these stones to raise children to Abraham.

3:9  But already even the axe [2at 3the 4root 5of the 6trees 1is situated]. Every tree then not producing [2fruit 1good] is cut down, and [2into 3the fire 1thrown].

3:10  And [3asked 4him 1the 2multitudes], saying, What then shall we do?

3:11  And answering he says to them, The one having two inner garments, share with the one not having! And the one having foods, in like manner do!

3:12  And there came also tax collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?

3:13  And he said to them, [2nothing 3more 4beyond 5that 6being set in order 7to you 1exact]!

3:14  [3asked 1And 4him 5also 2soldiers], saying, And we, what shall we do? And he said to them, No one should you shake up nor extort, and let [2be sufficient 1your rations]!

3:15  [4were expecting 1And 2the 3people], and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John, if perhaps he may be the Christ.

3:16  John answered all together, saying, I indeed [3in water 1immerse 2you], but comes the one stronger than me, of whom I am not fit to untie the strap of his sandals; he will immerse you in [2spirit 1holy] and in fire;

3:17  of whom the winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather the grain into his storehouse; and the straw he will incinerate with [2fire 1inextinguishable].

3:18  [4many 2indeed 3then 1And] other things comforting he announced good news to the people.

3:19  But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all [2which 4did 1the evils 3Herod],

3:20  added also this unto all -- that he imprisoned John in the prison.

3:21  And it came to pass in the immersing all the people, and Jesus being immersed and praying, [3was opened 1the 2heaven],

3:22  and [4came down 1the 3spirit 2holy] bodily in a form as a dove upon him, and a voice out of heaven came, saying, You are my son the beloved; in you I take pleasure.

3:23  And [2himself 3was 1Jesus 4about 6years old 5thirty] in beginning, being as was thought the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

3:24  the son of Matthat, the son of Levi the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph,
