Ang Pangangaral ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo(A)
3 Nang mga panahong iyon, dumating si Juan na Tagapagbautismo sa ilang ng Judea at nagsimulang mangaral. 2 Ganito(B) ang kanyang sinasabi, “Magsisi kayo at talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan sapagkat malapit nang dumating ang kaharian ng langit!” 3 Si(C) Juan ang tinutukoy ni Propeta Isaias nang sabihin niya,
“Ito ang pahayag ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang:
‘Ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon,
gumawa kayo ng mga tuwid na landas na kanyang lalakaran!’”
4 Gawa(D) sa balahibo ng kamelyo ang damit ni Juan at sa balat naman ng hayop ang kanyang sinturon. Ang kanya namang pagkain ay balang at pulot-pukyutan. 5 Dinarayo siya ng mga tao mula sa Jerusalem, sa buong Judea at sa magkabilang panig ng Ilog Jordan. 6 Ipinapahayag nila ang kanilang mga kasalanan at sila'y binautismuhan niya sa Ilog Jordan.
7 Nang(E) makita niyang lumalapit din sa kanya ang maraming Pariseo at mga Saduseo upang magpabautismo, sinabi niya sa kanila, “Lahi ng mga ulupong! Akala ba ninyo'y makakatakas kayo sa parusa ng Diyos? 8 Patunayan muna ninyo sa inyong mga buhay na kayo'y talagang nagsisisi, 9 at(F) huwag ninyong akalain na makakaiwas kayo sa parusa ng Diyos dahil sinasabi ninyong ama ninyo si Abraham. Sinasabi ko sa inyo na kahit sa mga batong ito ay makakalikha ang Diyos ng mga anak ni Abraham. 10 Ngayon(G) pa lamang ay nakaamba na ang palakol sa ugat ng mga punongkahoy; ang bawat punong hindi mabuti ang bunga ay puputulin at itatapon sa apoy.
11 “Binabautismuhan ko kayo sa tubig bilang patunay ng inyong pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa kasalanan. Ngunit ang darating na kasunod ko ay magbabautismo sa inyo sa Espiritu Santo at sa apoy. Higit siyang makapangyarihan kaysa akin; ni hindi man lamang ako karapat-dapat magdala ng kanyang sandalyas. 12 Hawak(H) na niya ang kanyang kalaykay upang alisin ang dayami. Titipunin niya sa kamalig ang trigo ngunit ang ipa ay susunugin sa apoy na di mamamatay kailanman.”
Binautismuhan si Jesus(I)
13 Dumating si Jesus sa Ilog Jordan mula sa Galilea upang magpabautismo kay Juan. 14 Ngunit tinangka ni Juan na pigilan siya at sinabi, “Ako po ang dapat magpabautismo sa inyo! Bakit kayo nagpapabautismo sa akin?” 15 Subalit sumagot si Jesus, “Hayaan mong ito ang mangyari ngayon, sapagkat ito ang nararapat nating gawin upang matupad ang kalooban ng Diyos.” Kaya't pumayag din si Juan. 16 Nang mabautismuhan si Jesus, kaagad siyang umahon sa tubig. Nabuksan ang langit at nakita ni Jesus ang Espiritu ng Diyos na bumababang parang isang kalapati at dumapo sa kanya. 17 At(J) isang tinig mula sa langit ang nagsabi, “Ito ang minamahal kong Anak na lubos kong kinalulugdan!”

King James Version
3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think 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.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days (B)John the Baptist came preaching (C)in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for (D)the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying:
(E)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(F)‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 Now (G)John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was (H)locusts and (I)wild honey. 5 (J)Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 (K)and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, (L)“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from (M)the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, (N)‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. (O)Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 (P)I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. (Q)He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit [a]and fire. 12 (R)His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will (S)burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
John Baptizes Jesus(T)
13 (U)Then Jesus came (V)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 (W)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [b]He saw (X)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (Y)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (Z)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 In those days John the Baptist(B) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(C) has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[a](D)
4 John’s(E) clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.(F) His food was locusts(G) and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized(H) by him in the Jordan River.
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers!(I) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(J) 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(K) 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 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.(M)
11 “I baptize you with[b] water for repentance.(N) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit(O) and fire.(P) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(Q)
The Baptism of Jesus(R)
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(S) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(T) and he saw the Spirit of God(U) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(V) said, “This is my Son,(W) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(X)

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
3 About this time,[a] John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the Judean wilderness, 2 “Repent, because the kingdom from[b] heaven is near!” 3 He was the one the prophet Isaiah was referring to when he said,
“He is a voice calling out in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way for the Lord![c]
Make his paths straight!’”[d]
4 John had clothing made of camel’s hair and wore[e] a leather belt around his waist. His diet consisted of grasshoppers[f] and wild honey.
5 Then the people of[g] Jerusalem, all Judea, and the entire region along the Jordan began flocking to him, 6 being baptized by him in the Jordan River while they confessed their sins.
7 But when John[h] saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing,[i] he told them, “You children of serpents! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit that is consistent with repentance! 9 Don’t think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have father Abraham!’ because I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones! 10 The ax already lies against the roots of the trees. So every tree that isn’t producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I am baptizing you with[j] water as evidence of repentance,[k] but the one who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not worthy to carry his sandals. It is he who will baptize you with[l] the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand. He will clean up his threshing floor and gather his grain into the barn, but he will burn the chaff with inextinguishable fire.”
Jesus is Baptized(B)
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to stop him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be this way for now, because this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness.”[m]
At this, he permitted him to be baptized.[n] 16 When Jesus had been baptized, he immediately came up out of the water. Suddenly, the heavens opened up for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him. 17 Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him!”
