3:1 Now
in
the
fifteenth
yeere
of
the
reigne
of
Tiberius
Cesar,
Pontius
Pilate
being
Gouernour
of
Iudea,
&
Herode
being

of

and
his
brother
Philip
Tetrarch
of

and

region
of

and
Lysanias

3:2 Annas
and
Caiaphas
being
the
high
Priests,
the
word
of
God
came
vnto
Iohn
the
sonne
of
Zacharias,
in
the
wildernesse.
3:3 And
he
came
into
all
the
countrey
about
Iordane,
preaching
the
baptisme
of
repentance,
for
the
remissio
of
sinnes,
3:4 As
it
is
written
in
the
book
of
the
words
of
Esaias
the
Prophet,
saying,
The
voyce
of
one
crying
in
the
wildernesse,
Prepare
ye
the
way
of
the
Lord,
make
his
paths
straight.
3:5 Euery
valley
shall
be
filled,
and
euery
mountaine
and
hill
shalbe
brought
low,
and
the
crooked
shall
bee
made
straight,
and
the
rough
wayes
shall
be
made
smooth.
3:6 And
all
flesh
shal
see
the
saluation
of
God.
3:7 Then
said
hee
to
the
multitude
that
came
forth
to
bee
baptized
of
him,
O
generation
of
vipers,
who
hath
warned
you
to
flee
from
the
wrath
to
come
3:8 Bring
forth
therfore
fruits
worthy
of
repentance,
and
begin
not
to
say
within
your
selues,
We
haue
Abraham
to
our
father:
For
I
say
vnto
you,
that
God
is
able
of
these
stones
to
raise
vp
children
vnto
Abraham.
3:9 And
now
also
the
axe
is
laid
vnto
the
root
of
the
trees:
Euery
tree
therefore
which
bringeth
not
foorth
good
fruit,
is
hewen
downe,
and
cast
into
the
fire.
3:10 And
the
people
asked
him,
saying,
What
shall
we
doe
then
3:11 He
answereth,
and
saith
vnto
them,
He
that
hath
two
coats,
let
him
impart
to
him
that
hath
none,
and
he
that
hath
meat,
let
him
doe
likewise.
3:12 Then
came
also
Publicanes
to
be
baptized,
and
said
vnto
him,
Master,
what
shall
we
doe
3:13 And
he
said
vnto
them,
Exact
no
more
then
that
which
is
appointed
you.
3:14 And
the
souldiers
likewise
demanded
of
him,
saying,
And
what
shall
we
doe
And
he
said
vnto
them,
Doe
violence
to
no
man,
neither
accuse
any
falsely,
&
be
content
with
your
wages.
3:15 And
as
the
people
were
in
expectation,
and
all
men
mused
in
their
hearts
of
Iohn,
whether
he
were
the
Christ
or
not:
3:16 Iohn
answered,
saying
vnto
them
all,
I
indeede
baptize
you
with
water,
but
one
mightier
then
I
commeth,
the
latchet
of
whose
shooes
I
am
not
worthy
to
vnloose,
he
shall
baptize
you
with
the
holy
Ghost,
and
with
fire.
3:17 Whose
fanne
is
in
his
hand,
and
he
will
thorowly
purge
his
floore,
and
will
gather
the
wheat
into
his
garner,
but
the
chaffe
he
will
burne
with
fire
vnquencheable.
3:18 And
many
other
things
in
his
exhortation
preached
he
vnto
the
people.
3:19 But
Herode
the
Tetrarch
being
reprooued
by
him
for
Herodias
his
brother
Philips
wife,
and
for
all
the
euils
which
Herode
had
done,
3:20 Added
yet
this
aboue
all,
that
he
shut
vp
Iohn
in
prison.
3:21 Now
when
all
the
people
were
baptized,
and
it
came
to
passe
that
Iesus

being
baptized,
and
praying,
the
heauen
was
opened:
3:22 And
the
holy
Ghost
descended
in
a
bodily
shape
like
a
Doue
vpon
him,
and
a
voice
came
from

I
am
well
pleased.
