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 Philips 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

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

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. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
