Luke 3

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, 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,

anno autem quintodecimo imperii Tiberii Caesaris procurante Pontio Pilato Iudaeam tetrarcha autem Galilaeae Herode Philippo autem fratre eius tetrarcha Itureae et Trachonitidis regionis et Lysania Abilinae tetrarcha

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

sub principibus sacerdotum Anna et Caiapha factum est verbum Dei super Iohannem Zacchariae filium in deserto

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

et venit in omnem regionem Iordanis praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in remissionem peccatorum

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.

sicut scriptum est in libro sermonum Esaiae prophetae vox clamantis in deserto parate viam Domini rectas facite semitas eius

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;

omnis vallis implebitur et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur et erunt prava in directa et aspera in vias planas

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei

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?

dicebat ergo ad turbas quae exiebant ut baptizarentur ab ipso genimina viperarum quis ostendit vobis fugere a ventura ira

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.

facite ergo fructus dignos paenitentiae et ne coeperitis dicere patrem habemus Abraham dico enim vobis quia potest Deus de lapidibus istis suscitare filios Abrahae

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.

iam enim securis ad radicem arborum posita est omnis ergo arbor non faciens fructum exciditur et in ignem mittitur

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus

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.

respondens autem dicebat illis qui habet duas tunicas det non habenti et qui habet escas similiter faciat

Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

venerunt autem et publicani ut baptizarentur et dixerunt ad illum magister quid faciemus

And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

at ille dixit ad eos nihil amplius quam quod constitutum est vobis faciatis

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.

interrogabant autem eum et milites dicentes quid faciemus et nos et ait illis neminem concutiatis neque calumniam faciatis et contenti estote stipendiis vestris

And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

existimante autem populo et cogitantibus omnibus in cordibus suis de Iohanne ne forte ipse esset Christus

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:

respondit Iohannes dicens omnibus ego quidem aqua baptizo vos venit autem fortior me cuius non sum dignus solvere corrigiam calciamentorum eius ipse vos baptizabit in Spiritu Sancto et igni

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.

cuius ventilabrum in manu eius et purgabit aream suam et congregabit triticum in horreum suum paleas autem conburet igni inextinguibili

And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum

But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

Herodes autem tetrarcha cum corriperetur ab illo de Herodiade uxore fratris sui et de omnibus malis quae fecit Herodes

Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere

Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

factum est autem cum baptizaretur omnis populus et Iesu baptizato et orante apertum est caelum

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.

et descendit Spiritus Sanctus corporali specie sicut columba in ipsum et vox de caelo facta est tu es Filius meus dilectus in te conplacuit mihi
