ESV

1	In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
2	during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
3	And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4	As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5	Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places shall become level ways,
6	and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.“
7	He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8	Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.
9	Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.“
10	And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?”
11	And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”
12	Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”
13	And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.”
14	Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”
15	As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ,
16	John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17	His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.“
18	So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.
19	But Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done,
20	added this to them all, that he locked up John in prison.
21	Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
22	and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
23	Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
24	the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,
25	the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,
26	the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,
27	the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,
28	the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
29	the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi,
30	the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,
31	the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,
32	the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Sala, the son of Nahshon,
33	the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Arni, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah,
34	the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
35	the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah,
36	the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
37	the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,
38	the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

NIV

1	In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar–when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene–
2	during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert.
3	He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
4	As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.
5	Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth.
6	And all mankind will see God's salvation.'“
7	John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8	Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
9	The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.“
10	“What should we do then?” the crowd asked.
11	John answered, “The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same.”
12	Tax collectors also came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13	“Don't collect any more than you are required to,” he told
14	them. Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely–be content with your pay.”
15	The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Christ.
16	John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17	His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.“
18	And with many other words John exhorted the people and preached the good news to them.
19	But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the other evil things he had done,
20	Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.
21	When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened
22	and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
23	Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph,
24	the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melki, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,
25	the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli,
26	the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,
27	the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel,
28	the son of Neri, the son of Melki, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,
29	the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat,
30	the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,
31	the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan,
32	the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon,
33	the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez,
34	the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
35	the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber,
36	the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,
37	the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel,
38	the son of Kenan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

NLT

1	It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was ruler over Galilee; his brother Philip was ruler over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene.
2	Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness.
3	Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had turned to God to receive forgiveness for their sins.
4	Isaiah had spoken of John when he said, “He is a voice shouting in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the LORD's coming! Clear the road for him!
5	The valleys will be filled, and the mountains and hills made level. The curves will be straightened, and the rough places made smooth.
6	And then all people will see the salvation sent from God.' “
7	When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee God's coming wrath?
8	Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don't just say to each other, 'We're safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.' That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.
9	Even now the ax of God's judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.“
10	The crowds asked, “What should we do?”
11	John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”
12	Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13	He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.”
14	“What should we do?” asked some soldiers.John replied, “Don't extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
15	Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah.
16	John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am– so much greater that I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17	He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.“
18	John used many such warnings as he announced the Good News to the people.
19	John also publicly criticized Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, for marrying Herodias, his brother's wife, and for many other wrongs he had done.
20	So Herod put John in prison, adding this sin to his many others.
21	One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened,
22	and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy. ”

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 Philip's 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.
