Luke 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 In the fifteenth year of the rule of Caesar Tiberius - it was while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea; Herod, ruler of Galilee; his brother Philip, ruler of Iturea and Trachonitis; Lysanias, ruler of Abilene;

2 during the Chief-Priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas - John, Zachariah's son, out in the desert at the time, received a message from God.

3 He went all through the country around the Jordan River preaching a baptism of life-change leading to forgiveness of sins,

4 as described in the words of Isaiah the prophet: Thunder in the desert! "Prepare God's arrival! Make the road smooth and straight!

5 Every ditch will be filled in, Every bump smoothed out, The detours straightened out, All the ruts paved over.

6 Everyone will be there to see The parade of God's salvation."

7 When crowds of people came out for baptism because it was the popular thing to do, John exploded: "Brood of snakes! What do you think you're doing slithering down here to the river? Do you think a little water on your snakeskins is going to deflect God's judgment?

8 It's your life that must change, not your skin. And don't think you can pull rank by claiming Abraham as 'father.' Being a child of Abraham is neither here nor there - children of Abraham are a dime a dozen. God can make children from stones if he wants.

9 What counts is your life. Is it green and blossoming? Because if it's deadwood, it goes on the fire."

10 The crowd asked him, "Then what are we supposed to do?"

11 "If you have two coats, give one away," he said. "Do the same with your food."

12 Tax men also came to be baptized and said, "Teacher, what should we do?"

13 He told them, "No more extortion - collect only what is required by law."

14 Soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?" He told them, "No shakedowns, no blackmail - and be content with your rations."

15 The interest of the people by now was building. They were all beginning to wonder, "Could this John be the Messiah?"

16 But John intervened: "I'm baptizing you here in the river. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out.

17 He's going to clean house - make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he'll put out with the trash to be burned."

18 There was a lot more of this - words that gave strength to the people, words that put heart in them. The Message!

19 But Herod, the ruler, stung by John's rebuke in the matter of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,

20 capped his long string of evil deeds with this outrage: He put John in jail.

21 After all the people were baptized, Jesus was baptized. As he was praying, the sky opened up

22 and the Holy Spirit, like a dove descending, came down on him. And along with the Spirit, a voice: "You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life." Son of Adam, Son of God

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 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

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

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

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

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

6 et videbit omnis caro salutare Dei

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

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

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

10 et interrogabant eum turbae dicentes quid ergo faciemus

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

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

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

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

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

16 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

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

18 multa quidem et alia exhortans evangelizabat populum

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

20 adiecit et hoc supra omnia et inclusit Iohannem in carcere

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

22 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
