3:1  Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar— Pontius Pilate being-governor of Judea, and Herod being-tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother being tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
3:2  in-the-time-of the high priest Annas and Caiaphas— the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
3:3  And he went into all the surrounding-region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
3:4  as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet [in Isa 40:3-5], “A voice of one shouting in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; be making His paths straight.
3:5  Every valley will be filled and every mountain and hill will be made-low. And the crooked paths will become straight, and the rough will become smooth paths.
3:6  And all flesh will see the salvation of God’”.
3:7  Therefore he was saying to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers— who showed you to flee from the coming wrath?
3:8  Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father’. For I say to you that God is able to raise-up children for Abraham from these stones!
3:9  And indeed the axe is already lying at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire”.
3:10  And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”
3:11  And having responded, he was saying to them, “Let the one having two tunics give to the one not having, and let the one having food be doing likewise”.
3:12  And tax collectors also came to be baptized. And they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”
3:13  And the one said to them, “Be collecting nothing more than the amount having been commanded”.
3:14  And ones serving-as-soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “And us, what should we do?” And he said to them, “Do not violently-extort anyone, nor extort-with-false-charges. And be content with your wages”.
3:15  And while the populace was waiting-in-expectation and all were pondering in their hearts about John— if perhaps he might be the Christ—
3:16  John responded, saying to everyone, “I am baptizing you with water, but the One more powerful than me is coming, of Whom I am not fit to untie the strap of His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire—
3:17  Whose winnowing-tool is in His hand so as to clean-out His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with an inextinguishable fire”.
3:18  So indeed, while also exhorting many other things, he was announcing-good-news-to the people.
3:19  But Herod the tetrarch— while being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the evil things which Herod did—
3:20  also added this to everything: he also locked-up John in prison.
3:21  And it came about when all the people were baptized, Jesus also having been baptized and praying, that the heaven was opened
3:22  and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in a bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son. With You I was well-pleased”.
3:23  And Jesus Himself was, [when] beginning His ministry, about thirty years old, being a son, as it was being supposed, of Joseph, the son of Heli,
3:24  the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,
3:25  the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Hesli, the son of Naggai,
3:26  the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,
3:27  the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,
3:28  the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
3:29  the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,
3:30  the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,
3:31  the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
3:32  the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon,
3:33  the son of Aminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,
3:34  the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
3:35  the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Heber, the son of Shelah,
3:36  the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
3:37  the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,
3:38  the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.
