orthjbc@Luke:3:1 @ In the shenat chamesh esreh (note:)15th year(:note) of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governing Yehudah, when Herod [Antipas] was tetrarch of the Galil, and when Philip the brother of Herod Antipas was tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis, and at the same time Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

orthjbc@Luke:3:2 @ and when, during the same historical period, Anan and Caiapha were Kohanim Gedolim, then it was that the dvar Hashem came to Yochanan Ben-Zecharyah bamidbar (note:)in the wilderness(:note). THE KOHEN-NAVI YOCHANAN OF THE TEVILAH OF TESHUVA COMES AS REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S MAGGID IN THE MIDBAR MT. strkjv@3:1-12; MK strkjv@1:2-8

orthjbc@Luke:3:3 @ And Yochanan went into all the surrounding region of the Yarden preaching a tevilah of teshuvah for the selichat avon,

orthjbc@Luke:3:4 @ as it has been written in the sefer divrei Yeshayah Hanavi, KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR (note:)"A voice of one shouting in the wilderness," YESHAYAH strkjv@40:3(:note): `Prepare the Derech Hashem the Way of the L-rd. Make his paths straight!'"

orthjbc@Luke:3:5 @ KOL GEY YINNASE V'KHOL HAR V'GEVAH YISHPALU (note:)"Every valley will be filled in and every mountain and hill will be leveled off"(:note), V'HAYAH HE'AKOV LEMISHOR V'HARKHASIM L'VIKAH "The crooked will be made straight the rough paths made into smooth roads";

orthjbc@Luke:3:6 @ V'RA'U KHOL BASAR ES YESHU'AT ELOHEINU (note:)"And all basar will see the salvation of our G-d"(:note). [Yeshayah strkjv@40:3-5; Tehillim strkjv@98:2; Yeshayah strkjv@42:16; strkjv@52:10]

orthjbc@Luke:3:7 @ Therefore, Yochanan was saying to the multitudes coming out to have the tevilah supervised by him, "You yeladim of nachashim, who warned you to flee from the charon af [Hashem] habah (note:)the coming burning wrath of Hashem(:note)?

orthjbc@Luke:3:8 @ "Therefore, produce p'ri tov l'teshuva (note:)fruit worthy of repentance(:note), and do not begin to presume within yourselves, saying, `We have the zechut Avot merit of the Fathers of Avraham Avinu,' for, I say to you, that Hashem is able from these avanim stones to raise up banim to Avraham Avinu. [Yeshayah strkjv@51:2]

orthjbc@Luke:3:9 @ "And already the ax is laid at the shoresh haAitzim (note:)the root of the trees(:note). Therefore, every aitz not producing p'ri tov is cut down and is thrown into the Aish."

orthjbc@Luke:3:10 @ And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, "What then should we do?"

orthjbc@Luke:3:11 @ And in reply, Yochanan was saying to them, "Let the one having two kaftans share with the one having none, and let the one having okhel do likewise." [Yeshayah strkjv@58:7; Yechezkel strkjv@18:7]

orthjbc@Luke:3:12 @ Now came also mochesim (note:)tax-collectors(:note) to receive the tevilah of teshuva, and they said to him, "Rabbi, what should we do?"

orthjbc@Luke:3:13 @ And Yochanan said to them, "Collect nothing more than the amount having been commanded you."

orthjbc@Luke:3:14 @ And also chaiyalim (note:)soldiers(:note) were asking him, "What should we do also?" And Yochanan said to them, "Extort kesef from no one, and let there be no lashon hora slander. And be satisfied with your gehalt wages." [Yechezkel strkjv@23:1; Vayikra strkjv@19:11]

orthjbc@Luke:3:15 @ As the Am [Berit] were filled with expectation, all wondering in their levavot concerning Yochanan, whether perhaps he might be the Moshiach,

orthjbc@Luke:3:16 @ Yochanan answered everyone, saying, "I give you a tevilah with a mikveh mayim, but Hu HaBa (note:)Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach(:note) has more ko'ach power than me; I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will give you a tevilah with the Ruach Hakodesh and with aish.

orthjbc@Luke:3:17 @ "The winnowing fork is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the MOTZ (note:)"chaff," Tehillim strkjv@1:4(:note) he will burn up with an AISH LO TIKHBEH fire not [ever] extinguished--Yeshayah strkjv@66:24. [Yeshayah strkjv@30:24; Ruth strkjv@3:2]

orthjbc@Luke:3:19 @ Now Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by Yochanan about Herodias, the wife of his brother, and about all the resha'im which he did,

orthjbc@Luke:3:20 @ Herod added this also on top of everything else: he locked up Yochanan in the beit hasohar (note:)prison(:note). REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TEVILAH IN THE MIKVEH MAYIM OF THE YARDEN RIVER MT.3:13-17; MK strkjv@1:9-11

orthjbc@Luke:3:21 @ And it came about while all the Am [Berit] were receiving the tevilah, and when Yehoshua also had been given the tevilah and was davening, Shomayim was opened,

orthjbc@Luke:3:22 @ and the Ruach Hakodesh descended in demut gashmit as a yonah upon Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach; and then came a Bat Kol out of Shomayim, saying, "ATAH BNI AHUVI ASHER B'CHA CHAFATSTI ("You are my Son, the beloved one, with you I am well pleased."
