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, LK 3:1 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. LK 3:2 And he came into all the country about [the] Jordan, preaching the [a WU] baptism of repentance for the remission [forgiveness WU] of sins; LK 3:3 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias [Isaiah] the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying [out WU] in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of [for WU] the Lord, make his paths straight. LK 3:4 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; LK 3:5 And all flesh [mankind WU] shall see the salvation of God. LK 3:6 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of [by] him, O generation [offspring] of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? LK 3:7 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [for] our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of [from] these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. LK 3:8 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. LK 3:9 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? LK 3:10 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart [give] to him that hath none; and he that hath meat [food], let him do likewise. LK 3:11 Then came also publicans [tax collectors] to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? LK 3:12 And he said unto them, Exact [collect] no more than that which is appointed [required for WU] you [to collect WU]. LK 3:13 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man [to extort his money WU], neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. LK 3:14 REPENT And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of [concerning] John, whether he were the Christ, or not; LK 3:15 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 [Spirit] and with fire: LK 3:16 APPLY Not Easy Whose fan
[winnowing fork WU] is in his hand, and he will throughly purge [clear WU] his [threshing] floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner [barn]; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. LK 3:17 JUDGEMENT By Christ And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. LK 3:18But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved [rebuked WU] by him [John WU] for [because of WU] Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, LK 3:19 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. LK 3:20
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, LK 3:21 And the Holy Ghost [Spirit] 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. LK 3:22
And Jesus himself began [his ministry WU] to be [when he was WU] about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, LK 3:23 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, LK 3:24 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, LK 3:25 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, LK 3:26 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, LK 3:27 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, LK 3:28 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, LK 3:29 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, LK 3:30 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David, LK 3:31 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson, LK 3:32 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda, LK 3:33 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor, LK 3:34 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala, LK 3:35 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe [Noah], which was the son of Lamech, LK 3:36 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan, LK 3:37 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. LK 3:38
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost [Spirit] returned from [the] Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, LK 4:1 Being [where he was WU] forty days tempted of [by] the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. LK 4:2
And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made [to become] bread. LK 4:3 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. LK 4:4
And the devil, taking him up into [on] an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. LK 4:5 And the devil said unto him, All this power [their authority WU] will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered [it has been given WU] unto me; and to whomsoever I will [want to give it WU] I [can WU] give it. LK 4:6 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. LK 4:7 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. LK 4:8
And he [the devil WU] brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence [here]: LK 4:9 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep [guard] thee: LK 4:10 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash [strike WU] thy foot against a stone. LK 4:11 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said [says WU], Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. LK 4:12
