King James Version

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, which was the son of Heli, 24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, 30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, 31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, 32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, 33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, 34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, 35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, 36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech, 37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, 38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Lucrarea lui Ioan Botezătorul

1 În anul al cincisprezecelea al domniei lui Tiberiu Cezar,^[1] pe când Ponțiu Pilat era guvernator^[2] al Iudeei, Irod era tetrarh^[3] al Galileei, Filip, fratele acestuia, era tetrarh^[4] al ținutului Ituriei și Trahonitei, iar Lisanias^[5] era tetrarh al Abilenei, (Mt 3:1; Mr 1:2; Joh 1:19; Ac 13:7)

Mt 3:1Mr 1:2Joh 1:19Ac 13:7

2 în timpul marilor preoți Ana^[6] și Caiafa^[7], Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu a venit la Ioan, fiul lui Zaharia, în pustie. (Nu 25:13) 3 Ioan s‑a dus în întreaga vecinătate a Iordanului, proclamând botezul pocăinței spre iertarea păcatelor, 4 așa cum este scris în cartea cuvintelor profetului Isaia: „Un glas al celui ce strigă în pustie: «Pregătiți calea Domnului, neteziți‑I cărările! 5 Orice vale va fi umplută^[8] și orice munte și deal va fi smerit; căile strâmbe vor fi îndreptate, iar locurile denivelate vor fi netezite. 6 Și orice om va vedea mântuirea lui Dumnezeu!»“^[9] (Isa 40:3) 7 Atunci Ioan a spus mulțimilor care veneau să fie botezate de el: – Pui de vipere, cine v‑a avertizat să fugiți de mânia care vine?! 8 Faceți deci roade vrednice de pocăință! Și să nu începeți să spuneți în voi înșivă: „Îl avem ca tată pe Avraam!“, căci vă spun că Dumnezeu poate să‑i ridice copii lui Avraam chiar din pietrele acestea! 9 Securea este pusă deja la rădăcina pomilor! Prin urmare, orice pom care nu face rod bun este tăiat și aruncat în foc. 10 Mulțimile îl întrebau, zicând: – Dar atunci ce să facem? 11 El, răspunzând, le zicea: – Cel ce are două cămăși^[10] să le împartă cu cel ce n‑are niciuna, iar cel ce are mâncare să facă la fel! 12 Au venit și niște vameși^[11] să fie botezați și l‑au întrebat: – Învățătorule, noi ce să facem? 13 El le‑a răspuns: – Să nu colectați mai mult decât vi s‑au dat îndrumări! 14 Niște soldați l‑au întrebat și ei: – Dar noi ce să facem? El le‑a răspuns: – Să nu stoarceți nimic de la nimeni cu forța, nici să nu aduceți acuzații false împotriva nimănui;^[12] fiți mulțumiți cu salariile voastre! 15 Pentru că poporul era în așteptare și toți se întrebau în inimile lor, cu privire la Ioan, dacă nu cumva este el Cristosul, 16 Ioan le‑a răspuns tuturor, zicând: – Eu, într-adevăr, vă botez cu^[13] apă^[14], dar vine Cel Care este mai puternic decât mine, Căruia eu nu sunt vrednic să‑I dezleg cureaua sandalelor! El vă va boteza cu Duhul Sfânt și cu foc. 17 El Își are în mână furca de treierat ca să‑Și curețe aria și să‑Și adune grâul în hambar. Pleava însă o va arde într‑un foc care nu se stinge. 18 Și, prin multe alte îndemnuri, el vestea poporului Evanghelia^[15]. 19 Însă tetrarhul Irod, care era mustrat^[16] de Ioan din cauza Irodiadei^[17], soția fratelui său, și din cauza tuturor lucrurilor rele pe care le săvârșise, (Le 18:16; Le 20:21; Lu 3:1) 20 a mai adăugat la ele și pe acela că l‑a închis pe Ioan în închisoare.

Botezul și genealogia lui Isus

21 După ce a fost botezat întregul popor, a fost botezat și Isus. Și, pe când Se ruga, cerul a fost deschis (Mt 1:1; Mt 3:13; Mr 1:9; Joh 1:32)

Mt 1:1Mt 3:13Mr 1:9Joh 1:32

22 și Duhul Sfânt S‑a coborât peste El^[18] în formă trupească, asemenea unui porumbel. Și din cer s‑a auzit un glas: „Tu ești Fiul Meu preaiubit;^[19] în Tine Îmi găsesc plăcerea!^[20]“ (Ps 2:7; Isa 42:1) 23 Isus avea în jur de treizeci de ani^[21] când Și‑a început lucrarea și era, după cum se credea, fiul lui Iosif, fiul lui Eli, (Nu 4:47) 24 fiul lui Mattat, fiul lui Levi, fiul lui Melchi, fiul lui Ianai, fiul lui Iosif, 25 fiul lui Matatia, fiul lui Amos, fiul lui Naum, fiul lui Esli, fiul lui Nagai, 26 fiul lui Maat, fiul lui Matatia, fiul lui Semein, fiul lui Ioseh, fiul lui Ioda, 27 fiul lui Iohanan, fiul lui Resa, fiul lui Zerub-Babel, fiul lui Șealtiel, fiul lui Neri, 28 fiul lui Melchi, fiul lui Addi, fiul lui Cosam, fiul lui Elmadam, fiul lui Er, 29 fiul lui Iosua, fiul lui Eliezer, fiul lui Iorim, fiul lui Mattat, fiul lui Levi, 30 fiul lui Simeon, fiul lui Iuda, fiul lui Iosif, fiul lui Ionam, fiul lui Eliachim, 31 fiul lui Melea, fiul lui Menna, fiul lui Mattata, fiul lui Natan, fiul lui David, 32 fiul lui Ișai, fiul lui Obed, fiul lui Boaz, fiul lui Salmon^[22], fiul lui Nahșon, 33 fiul lui Aminadab, fiul lui Ram,^[23] fiul lui Hețron, fiul lui Pereț, fiul lui Iuda, 34 fiul lui Iacov, fiul lui Isaac, fiul lui Avraam, fiul lui Terah, fiul lui Nahor, 35 fiul lui Serug, fiul lui Reu, fiul lui Peleg, fiul lui Eber, fiul lui Șelah, 36 fiul lui Cainan, fiul lui Arpahșad,^[24] fiul lui Sem, fiul lui Noe, fiul lui Lameh, (Ge 10:24; Ge 11:12) 37 fiul lui Metușelah, fiul lui Enoh, fiul lui Iared, fiul lui Mahalalel, fiul lui Chenan, 38 fiul lui Enoș, fiul lui Set, fiul lui Adam, fiul lui Dumnezeu.
