Luke:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar ,
Pontius Pilate being governor (
5723 )
of Judaea ,
and Herod being tetrarch (
5723 )
of Galilee ,
and his brother Philip tetrarch (
5723 )
of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis ,
and Lysanias the tetrarch (
5723 )
of Abilene ,
*
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests ,
the word of God came (
5633 )
unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness .
*
And he came (
5627 )
into all the country about Jordan ,
preaching (
5723 )
the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins ;
*
As it is written (
5769 )
in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet ,
saying (
5723 ),
The voice of one crying (
5723 )
in the wilderness ,
Prepare ye (
5657 )
the way of the Lord ,
make (
5720 )
his paths straight .
*
Every valley shall be (
5704 )
filled (
5701 ),
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low (
5701 );
and the crooked shall be made straight ,
and the rough ways shall be made smooth ;
*
And all flesh shall see (
5695 )
the salvation of God .
*
Then said (
5707 )
he to the multitude that came forth (
5740 )
to be baptized (
5683 )
of him ,
O generation of vipers ,
who hath warned (
5656 )
you to flee (
5629 )
from the wrath to come (
5723 )?
*
Bring forth (
5657 )
therefore fruits worthy of repentance ,
and begin (
5672 )
not to say (
5721 )
within yourselves ,
We have (
5719 )
Abraham to our father :
for I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
That God is able (
5736 )
of these stones to raise up (
5658 )
children unto Abraham .
*
And now also the axe is laid (
5736 )
unto the root of the trees :
every tree therefore which bringeth not forth (
5723 )
good fruit is hewn down (
5743 ),
and cast (
5743 )
into the fire .
*
And the people asked (
5707 )
him ,
saying (
5723 ),
What shall we do (
5692 )
then ?
*
He answereth (
5679 )
and saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
He that hath (
5723 )
two coats ,
let him impart (
5628 )
to him that hath (
5723 )
none ;
and he that hath (
5723 )
meat ,
let him do (
5720 )
likewise .
*
Then came (
5627 )
also publicans to be baptized (
5683 ),
and said (
5627 )
unto him ,
Master ,
what shall we do (
5692 )?
*
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Exact (
5719 )
no more than that which is appointed (
5772 )
you .
*
And the soldiers (
5734 )
likewise demanded (
5707 )
of him ,
saying (
5723 ),
And what shall we do (
5692 )?
And he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Do violence (
5661 )
to no man ,
neither accuse any falsely (
5661 );
and be content (
5744 )
with your wages .
*
And as the people were in expectation (
5723 ),
and all men mused (
5740 )
in their hearts of John ,
whether he were (
5751 )
the Christ ,
or not ;
*
John answered (
5662 ),
saying (
5723 )
unto them all ,
I indeed baptize (
5719 )
you with water ;
but one mightier than I cometh (
5736 ),
the latchet of whose shoes I am (
5748 )
not worthy to unloose (
5658 ):
he shall baptize (
5692 )
you with the Holy Ghost and with fire :
*
Whose fan is in his hand ,
and he will throughly purge (
5692 )
his floor ,
and will gather (
5692 )
the wheat into his garner ;
but the chaff he will burn (
5692 )
with fire unquenchable .
*
And many other things in his exhortation (
5723 )
preached (
5710 )
he unto the people .
*
But Herod the tetrarch ,
being reproved (
5746 )
by him for Herodias his brother Philips wife ,
and for all the evils which Herod had done (
5656 ),
*
Added (
5656 )
yet this above all ,
that he shut up (
5656 )
John in prison .
*
Now when all the people were baptized (
5683 ),
it came to pass (
5633 ),
that Jesus also being baptized (
5685 ),
and praying (
5740 ),
the heaven was opened (
5683 ),
*
And the Holy Ghost descended (
5629 )
in a bodily shape like a dove upon him ,
and a voice came (
5635 )
from heaven ,
which said (
5723 ),
Thou art (
5748 )
my beloved Son ;
in thee I am well pleased (
5656 ).
*
And Jesus himself began (
5734 )

5713 )
