December 22, 2024 -- Pr. Kevin Kritzer -- "Coming Soon: Peace!" -- Luke 1: 6-80; 3:1-18 76 “You, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. You will go ahead of the Lord to prepare his way. 77 You will make his people know that they can be saved through the forgiveness of their sins. 78 A new day will dawn on us from above because our God is loving and merciful. 79 He will give light to those who live in the dark and in death's shadow. He will guide us into the way of peace.” 80 The child John grew and became spiritually strong. He lived in the desert until the day he appeared to the people of Israel. --- (Ch.3) It was the fifteenth year in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod ruled Galilee, and his brother Philip ruled Iturea and Trachonitis. Lysanias was the ruler of Abilene. 2 It was at the time when Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests that God spoke to John, son of Zechariah, in the desert. 3 John traveled throughout the region around the Jordan River. He told people about a baptism of repentance [a] for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As the prophet Isaiah wrote in his book, “A voice cries out in the desert: ‘Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight! 5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be leveled. The crooked ways will be made straight. The rough roads will be made smooth. 6 All people will see the salvation that God gives.' ” 7 Crowds of people were coming to be baptized by John. He would say to them, “You poisonous snakes! Who showed you how to flee from God's coming anger? 8 Do those things that prove that you have turned to God and have changed the way you think and act. Don't say, ‘Abraham is our ancestor.' I guarantee that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones. 9 The ax is now ready to cut the roots of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.” 10 The crowds asked him, “What should we do?” 11 He answered them, “Whoever has two shirts should share with the person who doesn't have any. Whoever has food should share it too.” 12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13 He told them, “Don't collect more money than you are ordered to collect.” 14 Some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He told them, “Be satisfied with your pay, and never use threats or blackmail to get money from anyone.” 15 People's hopes were rising as they all wondered whether John was the Messiah. 16 John replied to all of them, “I baptize you with water. But the one who is more powerful than I is coming. I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing [b] shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor.[c] He will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.” 18 With many other encouraging words, he told the Good News to the people. --GW http://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Lecturas interpretadas de La Santa Palabra De Dios, Elohim Adonai. 1 En el año decimoquinto del imperio de Tiberio César, siendo Poncio Pilato gobernador de Judea, y Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, y su hermano Felipe tetrarca de la región de Iturea y Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia,   2 durante el sumo sacerdocio de Anás y Caifás, vino la palabra de Dios a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto.   3 Y él fue por toda la región contigua al Jordán, predicando un bautismo de arrepentimiento para el perdón de los pecados;   4 como está escrito en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías:  Voz del que clama en el desierto: «Preparad el camino del Señor, haced derechas sus sendas.  5 -»Todo valle  será rellenado,  y todo monte y collado rebajado  ;  lo torcido se hará recto,  y las sendas ásperas  se volverán  caminos llanos;  6  y toda carne    verá la salvación de Dios».  7 Por eso, decía a las multitudes que acudían para que él las bautizara: ¡Camada de víboras! ¿Quién os enseñó a huir de la ira que vendrá?   8 Por tanto, dad frutos dignos de arrepentimiento; y no comencéis a deciros a vosotros mismos: «Tenemos a Abraham por padre», porque os digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras.   9 Y también el hacha ya está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; por tanto, todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego.   10 Y las multitudes le preguntaban, diciendo: ¿Qué, pues, haremos?   11 Respondiendo él, les decía: El que tiene dos túnicas, comparta con el que no tiene; y el que tiene qué comer, haga lo mismo.   12 Vinieron también unos recaudadores de impuestos para ser bautizados, y le dijeron: Maestro, ¿qué haremos?   13 Entonces él les respondió: No exijáis más de lo que se os ha ordenado.   14 También algunos soldados le preguntaban, diciendo: Y nosotros, ¿qué haremos? Y él les dijo: A nadie extorsionéis, ni a nadie acuséis falsamente, y contentaos con vuestro salario.  15 Como el pueblo estaba a la expectativa, y todos se preguntaban en sus corazones acerca de Juan, si no sería él el Cristo,   16 Juan respondió, diciendo a todos: Yo os bautizo con agua; pero viene el que es más poderoso que yo; a quien no soy digno de desatar la correa de sus sandalias; Él os bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y fuego.   17 El bieldo está en su mano para limpiar completamente su era y recoger el trigo en su granero; pero quemará la paja en fuego inextinguible.  18 Y también con muchas otras exhortaciones Juan anunciaba las buenas nuevas al pueblo.   19 Pero Herodes el tetrarca, siendo reprendido por él por causa de Herodías, mujer de su hermano, y por todas las maldades que Herodes había hecho,   20 añadió además a todas ellas, esta: que encerró a Juan en la cárcel.  21Y aconteció que cuando todo el pueblo era bautizado, Jesús también fue bautizado: y mientras Él oraba, el cielo se abrió,   22 y el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre Él en forma corporal, como una paloma, y vino una voz del cielo, que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en ti me he complacido.  23 Y cuando comenzó su ministerio, Jesús mismo tenía unos treinta años, siendo, como se suponía, hijo de José, quien era hijo de Elí,   24 y Elí, de Matat; Matat, de Leví; Leví, de Melqui; Melqui, de Jana; Jana,de José;   25 José, de Matatías; Matatías, de Amós; Amós, de Nahúm; Nahúm, de Esli; Esli, de Nagai;   26 Nagai, de Maat; Maat, de Matatías; Matatías, de Semei; Semei, de José; José, de Judá;   27 Judá, de Joana; Joana, de Resa; Resa, de Zorobabel; Zorobabel,de Salatiel; Salatiel, de Neri;   28 Neri, de Melqui; Melqui,de Adi; Adi, de Cosam; Cosam, de Elmodam; Elmodam,de Er;   29 Er, de Josué; Josué, de Eliezer; Eliezer, de Jorim; Jorim, de Matat; Matat, de Leví;   30 Leví, de Simeón; Simeón, de Judá; Judá, de José; José, de Jonán; Jonán, de Eliaquim...  ------------- 1986, 1995, 1997 by The Lockman Foundation⁠⁠ Más información sobre La Biblia de las Américas⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paulino.solorzano@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tunetank.com/?via=paulino⁠

Luke 3:1-6 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "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 brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough ways smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' "   Luke is presenting the historical Jesus to us as the perfect Son of Man and reminding us at the same time that Jesus is the sinless Son of God. God Himself robed in human flesh! In chapters one and two, Luke records the details of the births of John, the son of Zacharias, and Jesus, the Son of God! After a brief account of Jesus being taken to the Temple as a twelve-year-old boy, Luke now jumps forward thirty years and describes the beginning of the ministries of both John and Jesus.   When John the Baptist appeared on the scene, no prophetic voice had been heard in Israel for 400 years. His coming was a part of God's perfect timing, for everything that relates to God's Son is always on schedule (Gal. 4:4; John 2:4; 13:1). The "silent years" were nearly over. God was about to speak again, first through a prophet and then through His Son. Because of this fact and because it was so important, Luke carefully dates the event. He tells us specifically that John's ministry began in the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar was between A.D. 28/29.   In his introduction to the ministries of John and Jesus, Luke named seven different men in Luke 3:1-2, including a Roman emperor, a governor, three tetrarchs (rulers over a fourth part of an area), and two Jewish high priests. But God's Word was not sent to any of them! Instead, the message of God came to John the Baptist, a humble Jewish prophet.   So, Luke amasses all of this weight of historical evidence to document the sudden appearance of John with his rousing cry: "Repent!" An emperor, a governor, three tetrarchs, and two high priests, all to introduce the man who was, by all outward appearances, just a backwoods, desert preacher. But what a man! And what a preacher! And what a message!   Notice how John came in verse 3.  He came resembling the Prophet Elijah in manner and dress (Luke 1:17; Matt. 3:4; 2 Kings 1:8). John came to the same area “in the wilderness” near the Jordan River where Elijah had ascended into heaven in a chariot of fire, preaching and baptizing. He announced the arrival of the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 3:3) and urged the people to repent. Centuries before, Israel had crossed the Jordan (a national baptism) to claim their Promised Land. Now God summoned them to turn from sin and enter His spiritual kingdom.   Keep in mind that John did much more than preach against sin; he also proclaimed the Gospel. The word preached in Luke 3:18 gives us the English word evangelize ("to preach the Good News"). John introduced Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29) and told people to trust in Him. John was only the best man at the wedding: Jesus was the Bridegroom (John 3:25-30). John rejoiced at the opportunity of introducing people to the Savior, and then getting out of the way.   Yes, the Word of God came to John, and he began to preach! Today, the Word of God, (the Bible in your hands), will come to you if you will take the time to read and receive it! And Jesus, the Living Word, will come to you and abide in your heart if you will repent, believe and receive Him!   God bless!

Sunday, 25 August 2024   In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, Matthew 3:1   “And in those days, comes John the Baptist, proclaiming in the desolate of Judea,” (CG).   The previous verse ended Chapter 2, noting that Jesus was settled in Nazareth, thus He would be called a Nazarene. Now the narrative changes direction and introduces a new figure.   Chronologically, he has already been introduced in Luke's gospel, but Matthew begins his arrival on the scene many years later, beginning with, “And in those days.”   The meaning is “in the days when Jesus dwelt in Nazareth.” Even though this is quite some years later, it is during that time. This is evidenced by Matthew 3:13 which says, “Then Jesus came from Galilee to John.” He will leave the area of Nazareth to begin His ministry at this time, a point which begins with the ministry of John the Baptist.   The exact time of this appearance by John is noted in Luke 3:1, 2 –   “Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.”   The name John is from the Hebrew name Yokhanan. That is derived from Yah, a shortened form of the divine name, and khanan, a verb meaning to be gracious. Thus, the name means Yah is Gracious or Yah Has Been Gracious. Of those days when Jesus still dwelt in Nazareth, it next says, “comes John the Baptist.”   The title is a transliteration. It literally means “John the Immerser.” However, as “Baptist” is the common usage in English, that will be retained in the translation.   As for the verb, it is present tense, thus aligning the two thoughts as occurring together. Jesus is living in the area of the Galilee and John comes forth at that time. This type of writing is known as a historical present. It brings the narrative alive in the mind of the reader. The purpose of such literary tools is obliterated when translators ignore them. At the time he comes, it next says that he is “proclaiming in the desolate of Judea.”   The Greek word is kérussó, to proclaim, preach, or herald. In this case, John is making his proclamation that the Messiah is about to be revealed. It was his job to be the forerunner of the Messiah, preparing the way. As for the word “desolate,” this does not necessarily mean a barren wasteland devoid of any life.   Despite being translated as a noun, wilderness, by almost every translation, the Greek word is an adjective. Thus, “desolate” fits in meaning and intent. It is a place that is uncultivated and unpopulated, thus a deserted area.   Shepherds feeding their flocks would occur in such a place. In the Bible, it is a place of God's grace and of closeness to God, but it is also typical of a place of testing. The Hebrew word is a noun, midbar, coming from davar, to speak. The sense is speaking as in driving a flock.   In the Song of Solomon 4:3, using the word midbar, it says this –   Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, And your mouth [midbar] is lovely. Your temples behind your veil Are like a piece of pomegranate.   Solomon is poetically taking the mouth and calling it a wilderness. This shows the closeness in thought between the words.   This gives us an idea of what John has come to do. He has come to speak in the open to the pasture of God's people, driving them to be prepared for the coming of the ministry of Jesus.   Life application: When the books of the Bible were written, there were no chapter and verse divisions. These were simply scrolls that were written and maintained as complete books. Even if the beginning of Chapter 3 seems disconnected from what was said in Chapter 2, it is not. Rather, it is a new direction built upon what was just said.   Thus, it is a logical point to make a chapter break, but it is still good to see the ongoing connection between the two. At times, what is helpful in considering the narrative is to stop and pretend there is no chapter division in what you are reading. Imagine that you are simply reading a continuous scroll. That can help eliminate confusion in what is being said.   For example, you may read a scholar who says that the words of Matthew 3:1 cannot be connected to the words of Matthew 2:23 because Matthew 2:23 referred to a time when Jesus was just a young child. This thinking is actually bolstered by the chapter division. Our minds can make a full stop and then start again. But this is not Matthew's intent.   By imagining there is no chapter division, that type of thinking can often be cleared up. From there, going forward and seeing that Jesus departed Galilee to meet up with John then solidifies the notion that the narrative did not break. It simply redirected.   Consider what you are reading as you go. The Bible is a marvelous book that will keep instructing you and informing you as long as you continue to ask it questions as you go.   Glorious God, it is a joy and a delight to read the word that You have given to us. The stories of times past come alive as if they are happening before our eyes as we read. And all the while, we are communing with You through Your word. What a treasure and what a pleasure. Thank You for Your precious word that tells us of Jesus. Amen.

31En el año decimoquinto del imperio del emperador Tiberio, siendo Poncio Pilato gobernador de Judea, y Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, y su hermano Filipo tetrarca de Iturea y Traconítide, y Lisanio tetrarca de Abilene, 2bajo el sumo sacerdocio de Anás y Caifás, vino la palabra de Dios sobre Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto. 3Y recorrió toda la comarca del Jordán, predicando un bautismo de conversión para perdón de los pecados, 4como está escrito en el libro de los oráculos del profeta Isaías: «Voz del que grita en el desierto: | Preparad el camino del Señor, | allanad sus senderos; 5los valles serán rellenados, | los montes y colinas serán rebajados; | lo torcido será enderezado, | lo escabroso será camino llano. 6Y toda carne verá la salvación de Dios». 7A los que venían para ser bautizados les decía: «¡Raza de víboras!, ¿quién os ha enseñado a escapar del castigo inminente? 8Dad el fruto que pide la conversión. Y no os hagáis ilusiones, pensando: “Tenemos por padre a Abrahán”, pues os digo que Dios es capaz de sacar de estas piedras hijos de Abrahán. 9Ya toca el hacha la raíz de los árboles, y todo árbol que no dé buen fruto será talado y echado al fuego».

Luke 3:1-22In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the region around the Jordan River, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.As it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah,“The voice of one shouting in the wilderness:‘Prepare the way for the Lord,make his paths straight.Every valley will be filled,and every mountain and hill will be brought low,and the crooked will be made straight,and the rough ways will be made smooth,and all humanity will see the salvation of God.'”So John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Therefore produce fruit that proves your repentance, and don't begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones! Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”So the crowds were asking him, “What then should we do?” John answered them, “The person who has two tunics must share with the person who has none, and the person who has food must do likewise.” Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” He told them, “Collect no more than you are required to.” Then some soldiers also asked him, “And as for us—what should we do?” He told them, “Take money from no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your pay.”While the people were filled with anticipation and they all wondered whether perhaps John could be the Christ, John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one more powerful than I am is coming—I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand to clean out his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with inextinguishable fire.”And in this way, with many other exhortations, John proclaimed good news to the people. But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the evil deeds that he had done, Herod added this to them all: He locked up John in prison.Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.”

Luke 3:1-3 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. 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. 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 repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven 2) Turn - What should we do? Luke 3:10-15 The crowds asked, “What should we do?” John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.” Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?” He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.” “What should we do?” asked some soldiers. John replied, “Don't extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.” 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.* 3) Are you ready? - What does it mean to be prepared?

THIS EPISODE:Jesus' vision of God's kingdom differed radically from ours. On this second Sunday in Epiphany, we are looking at the true King, and considering what his vision is for his Kingdom.We look first at John the Baptist's sudden announcement of Jesus as the Messiah, immediately followed by Jesus' baptism, which points us to the cross. And from this we can see that the true king has a radical vision for sharing, fairness and contentment. A radical vision for our identity, for power, and for true glory.  Let's unpack this and more in today's message…___PRIMARY TEXT:—Luke 3:1-22 (CSB)—The Messiah's Herald3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch[a] of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, God's word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the vicinity of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah: A voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way for the Lord; make his paths straight!5 Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low;[b] the crooked will become straight, the rough ways smooth, 6 and everyone will see the salvation of God.[c]7 He then said to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. And don't start saying to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham from these stones. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”10 “What then should we do?” the crowds were asking him.11 He replied to them, “The one who has two shirts must share with someone who has none, and the one who has food must do the same.”12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”13 He told them, “Don't collect any more than what you have been authorized.”14 Some soldiers also questioned him, “What should we do?”He said to them, “Don't take money from anyone by force or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”15 Now the people were waiting expectantly, and all of them were questioning in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah. 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but one who is more powerful than I am is coming. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with[d] the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with fire that never goes out.” 18 Then, along with many other exhortations, he proclaimed good news to the people. 19 But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the evil things he had done, 20 Herod added this to everything else—he locked up John in prison.The Baptism of Jesus21 When all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. As he was praying, heaven opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well-pleased.”

Wilderness Wanderings

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—during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all people will see God's salvation'” (Luke 1:1-6). When coastal people are warned that a tsunami or hurricane is on the way, the wise ones prepare or evacuate. Imminent danger needs urgent action. That's the kind of work John the Baptist was doing. People believed John and came to him for baptism. What was the emergency, and how would being plunged into the Jordan help people to avoid danger?  Luke's introduction to the story of John the Baptist gives us the context to answer these questions. Its a story of oppression and misery that was building up to explosion point. The social tension was like that in the USA during their last presidential election. About 25 years earlier the Roman emperor had sent a governor to Judea to enforce Roman rule against constant unrest. The current emperor, Tiberius, was a ruthless tyrant who was worshipped as a god in parts of the empire. Herod's sons had Roman permission to rule in Galilee, but they were barely holding onto power. Rome had taken direct control of Judea, including Jerusalem. But every sign of Rome's power rankled the Jews. The family providing the high priests at the time wasn't fairing much better. Many Jews considered them in bed with the Romans. Even though various resistance movements had been brutally put down revolt was in the air. Everybody knew things couldn't go on as they were. Something had to happen. But what? Devout Jews longed for a new word from God bringing Israel out of slavery into a new freedom. The old prophets had spoken of a time of renewal, through which God himself would come back to them. Details of the renewal were sketchy, but when a fiery young prophet appeared in the Judaean wilderness, telling people that the time had come, they were ready to listen. Baptism, plunging into the river Jordan, was a powerful sign of this renewal, reminding them how God brought their ancestors through the Red Sea, through the Sinai wilderness, then through the Jordan into the promised land. Now they were in slavery again – in their own land! – and wanted a new Exodus to bring them to freedom. The prophets had declared that this slavery was the result of Israel's sin, worshipping idols rather than their one true God. The new Exodus, when it happened, would deal with this as well. The way to escape slavery was to ‘return' to God with heart and soul; that is, to ‘repent'. ‘Return to me, and I will return to you', Malachi had said (3:7). Hence John's agenda: ‘a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.' John was doing what the prophet Isaiah had said: preparing a pathway for the Lord himself to return to his people. This was the time. Rescue was at hand. But the people were not in good shape. Baptism was part of the ritual Gentiles had to undergo if they wanted to convert to Judaism, so John's summoning of Israel to baptism speaks for itself. There was a national crisis at hand, but John called each person to search their own hears. And so, it has been through the ages, all spiritual renewal begins with a turning away from what is hindering our obedience. If John were to come down your street with his megaphone, what would he be saying to you?

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, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” 12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13 “Don't collect any more than you are required to,” he told them. 14 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 Messiah. 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and 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 proclaimed the good news to them.

MABUTING BALITA | DISYEMBRE 5, 2021 Ikalawang Linggo ng Adbiyento EBANGHELYO: Lc 3:1-6 Ito ang nangyari sa ikalabinlimang taon ng paghahari ni Emperador Tiberio. Gobernador noon ng Judea si Poncio Pilato at mga tetrarka si Herodes sa Galilea, si Felipe na kapatid nito sa Iturea at Traconitide, at si Lisanias sa Abilene; sina Anas at Caifas naman ang mga Punong-pari nang panahong iyon. At noon dumating kay Juan na anak ni Zacarias ang salita ng Diyos sa disyerto. Ipinahayag ni Juan ang binyag na may pagbabalik-loob sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan, at nilibot niya ang buong rehiyon sa tabi ng Jordan. Nasusulat nga sa aklat ng pahayag ni Propeta Isaias: “Naririnig ang sigaw sa disyerto: Ihanda ang daan para sa Panginoon, ituwid ang kanyang landas. Patataasin ang bawat lambak at pabababain ang bawat bundok at burol. Papatagin ang mga batong kinatitisuran at papantayin ang lupang lubak-lubak. At makikita ng lahat ng tao ang pagliligtas ng Diyos.” Pagninilay: Papalapit na ang Pasko, kaya naman nagsimula ng maghanda ang mga tao para sa pinakamasayang pagdiriwang ng taon. Hindi mapipigilan ang galak, ang excitement ng mga tao na maski hindi naging matiwasay ang taon dahil sa patuloy na banta ng COVID-19 Pandemic, maghahanda pa rin ng mga dekorasyon sa bahay, mga regalong pamasko, mga pang-Noche Buena at Media Noche, mga plano para sa company year-end thanksgiving – mapavirtual man o face to face celebration. Mga kapanalig, kumusta naman kaya ang ating espirituwal o pangkaloobang paghahanda? Sa ating Mabuting Balita matutunghayan ang mga kaganapan sa unang Adbiyento. Sino nga ba ang huwaran ng ating paghahanda sa pagsilang ng Mesiyas? Walang iba kundi si Juan Bautista, ang pinsan ng ating Panginoong Hesus, na nangaral ng pagpapatawad at pagliligtas ng Diyos na makakamit kung magkakaroon ng radikal na pagbabagong-loob. Nasaan si Juan Bautista? Sa disyerto, o sa ilang niya nahanap ang Diyos! Hindi maranasan ni Juan sa mga lider noon ang paghahari at presensya ng Diyos kaya pumunta siya sa disyerto. Dahil sa karaniwang tigang at tuyo na klima o madalang na pag-ulan, mabuhangin, at mabato, halos walang nakatira sa disyerto; bagamat mayroon ring malamig na disyerto na natatakpan ng niyebe. Sa Bibliya, ang disyerto ay maaaring kumatawan sa lugar kung saan nagpapakilala ang Diyos, katulad ng kanyang paghahayag sa kasaysayan ng Israel. Sa unang banda, sa disyerto, maaaring mas makilala ang Diyos at ang sarili; si Hesus ay tinukso ng diyablo sa disyerto, pagkatapos ng kanyang pag-aayuno ng apatnapung araw at apatnapung gabi. Sa kabilang banda, kinakatawan din ng disyerto, ang pagkatuyo, ang pagsubok na espirituwal at kahirapan. Mga kapanalig, maaaring itong COVID-19 Pandemic ay isang “desert experience” para sa atin, upang mas makilala natin ang Diyos at ang sarili at kung ano nga ba ang mga tunay at higit na mahalaga sa buhay. Ito ang tunay na paghahanda: pasukin ang disyerto ng ating puso o kalooban, patirin ang uhaw at gutom, sa pamamagitan ng pagyakap natin sa kaligtasan. - Fr. Paolo Asprer, SSP | Society of St Paul

Wij zijn ook uitgenodigd om de mensen om ons heen te vertellen over de Redder die geboren gaat worden met Kerstmis. Zo wordt Kerst niet alleen feest voor onszelf, maar kunnen anderen in deze vreugde delen.   Lucas 3 1-6 Het gebeurde in het vijftiende regeringsjaar van keizer Tiberius; Pontius Pilatus was landvoogd van Judea; Herodes gouverneur van Galilea; zijn broer Filippus gouverneur van het gewest Iturea en Trachonitis en Lysanias gouverneur van Abilene; Annas en Kajafas bekleedden het hogepriesterschap. Toen kwam het woord van God over Johannes, zoon van Zacharias die in de woestijn verbleef. Hij begon op te treden in heel de Jordaanstreek en een doopsel van bekering te preken tot vergeving van zonden, volgens de profetie die geschreven staat in het boek van Jesaja: Een stem roept in de woestijn: bereidt de weg van de Heer, maakt zijn paden recht. Elk dal moet gevuld elke berg of heuvel geslecht worden; de kronkel- paden moeten recht, de ruwe wegen effen worden.

Luke 3:1-6In the fifteenth year of the Emperor Tiberius, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, while Herod was ruler over Galilee, and his brother Philip was ruler over the region of Iturea and Trachonitis, Lysanius was ruler over Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.He went out around the region of the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord and make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, every mountain and high place shall be made low, the crooked will be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth, and all flesh will see the salvation of God.”Some of you know this, because you've been part of them, but when I lead discussions on race relations, racism, and diversity, I often suggest that participants, in order to get familiar with a perspective different from their own, they be more deliberate about reading, listening to, even following on social media, voices from different walks of life.For me – a straight, white, middle-class man in the United States, it has meant that I do simple things like follow People of Color on social media and read Black authors like Ibram X. Kendi, Colson Whitehead, and Isabel Wilkerson. (I can't recommend her latest book, Caste, highly enough.)It's why I learn so much from female theologians like Rachel Held Evans, Nadia Bolz Weber, and colleagues who are women, too.It's why I am as entertained as I am informed by the music of gay and lesbian artists like the Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile.And it's why I'm so blessed and better for the perspective I gain about poverty and wealth from my friends in Haiti.And thinking about this with today's Gospel on the brain made me think about John the Baptist in a new way, too.See, for a long time, I believed all those names listed in this chunk of Luke's Gospel, were nothing more than date stamps; historical markers; ways to establish the place in time that all of this took place; “all of this” being the beginning of what we know of John the Baptist's ministry. And it is that to some degree. It's interesting and telling – especially for people who know their history – to know that all of this happened when Tiberius and Pontius Pilate and Herod and Philip and Lysanius and Annas and Caiaphas were doing their thing, all of which happened sometime in the late 20's or early 30's of the first century, according to smarter people than me. I was never great with dates and timelines.But it's even more interesting to me to understand that Luke's Gospel is up to something much more meaningful than recording history by time-stamping his Gospel with the names of political and religious leaders; emperors, governors, high priests, and whatnot. Luke was also pointing out that God's word and God's ways were not always proclaimed to – or by the likes of – the people in high places.Instead, the word of God came to and came through the likes of this camel-fur-wearing, honey-and-locust-eating, crying-out-in-the-wilderness, down-by-the-river-baptizing, repentance-and-forgiveness-preaching Jesus freak, named – not Tiberius or Lysanius, not Pontius Pilate or Herod, but John. Just John, the son of Zechariah. And he wasn't from anywhere that mattered or that you could find on a map, like Judea or Galilee or Iturea or Trachonitis or Abilene, either. He was out in the wilderness … down by the river somewhere … if you could find him.It might go something like this today: in the first year of the presidency of Joseph R. Biden, when Eric Holcomb was governor of Indiana, and Joe Hogsett was mayor of Indianapolis, during the papacy of Pope Francis and the bishopry of Bill Gafkjen and Elizabeth Eaton, the word of God came to Steve … or Stacy … or Jamaal … or Jesula – over the river and through the woods; on the other side of the tracks; or under the bridge; or maybe “down at the B.A.R. with the B.U.M.'s,” as Christa's favorite aunt used to say.Because what John was saying was the same thing the prophet Isaiah proclaimed: that God would show up first, for those who needed God most. That Jesus would be a welcome guest for those who were suffering and struggling and sick and in need. And that Jesus would be a fly in the ointment, a thorn in the side, a pain in the behind for those in power; for those in high places; for those with titles before – and with letters after – their names.Which is to say, those in low places will be lifted up; those in high places will be knocked down; those doing wrong will be righted; those who are rich will be made poor; those who are poor will have enough; and any other way you can think to promise that the status quo would, could, and should be upset for the benefit of those who rarely benefit from the status quo, such as it is. And all of that is why we do so much of what we do as God's people in the Church – especially during these holiday days. It's why we give gifts to foster kids. It's why we pack Thanksgiving dinners for our food pantry families. It's why we send a little something extra to our Agape Alliance friends and give so generously to the Grace Quest students to buy all of those animals from the ELCA Good Gifts program. And every bit of that is good and gracious and holy. Don't get me wrong. But let's not break our arms patting ourselves on the back about it.Because I think the reason John named – and the reason Jesus challenged – the likes of emperors, governors, rulers and religious leaders of all shapes and sizes, is because the kind of confession and repentance John called for, the kind of challenge and change Jesus championed, was meant to be deeper and wider and structural and systemic in such a way that it would last longer than the holiday season and have impacts so far-reaching, so culture-shifting, so world-rocking that heaven and nature might sing at the results and ramifications of it all.“Every valley shall be filled,” remember. “The mountains and the high places shall be made low.” “The crooked made straight and the rough ways made smooth,” after all. And, you realize, none of this “prepare the way of the Lord” stuff is about landscaping or road work or the new round-about over at Gem Road and 300 South. John is talking about the repairing and restoring and reinventing the broken social, cultural, political, religious systems of the world as we know it.He's talking about God's desire to create a level playing field of justice and mercy… of healing and hope… of peace and prosperity that would, could, should be available to all of God's children – especially for those relegated to the valleys; especially for those who get screwed by the crookedness of corruption and injustice; especially for those who can't ever seem to get over the rough road of their station in life.Like, what if, among other things, we could smooth out the rough, rocky roads in the Holy Land by having great compassion for our Jewish brothers and sisters there, yes, but without also condoning or ignoring the plight of the Palestinians, too.Like, what if, among other things, the glass ceiling of sexism in this country could be brought low, so that women don't make a mere 82 cents for every dollar that a man makes?What if the crooked ways of systemic racism could be hammered flat so that, among so many other things, people of color weren't incarcerated for longer sentences than white people for the exact same crimes?What if the low places of homophobia were raised up so that, among other things, gay and lesbian people didn't have to call me, before showing up for worship here, just to be sure they'll be safe and feel welcomed, if they muster the courage to give it a go?See, God knows it's so often the emperors and governors, the rulers and religious leaders, the people of power and privilege, who rest easy in the status quo and who resist change for the sake of others because of it. It's why God's word comes to the likes of John down by the river, and sends people like him to cry out in the wilderness, to prepare the way of the Lord, and to make his paths straight.Tupac Shakur, a Black rapper from my generation – a voice in the wilderness of his day, for sure – wrote something that made me think about all of this: So let's stop long enough to listen, you and I, during these Advent days, and beyond. Let's hear the cry of John's voice and others like it these days: voices different from our own; voices different from the powers that be; voices that tell of struggle and oppression and suffering and a life's experience many of us can't fathom or fully grasp. And let's respond to God's invitation to confess, repent, and do something to change what's broken in this world until all flesh – all flesh – shall see, receive, and experience the salvation God brings in Jesus Christ, our Lord.Amen.

Simon reads the Bible

Luke 3 NLT read aloud by Simon MacFarlane. 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 repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. 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. ” 23 Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry. Jesus was known as the son of Joseph. Joseph was the son of Heli. [...]

Luke 3:1-20 | By Charlie LaceyIn 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— during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 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. 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.”“What should we do then?” the crowd asked.John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”“Don't collect any more than you are required to,” he told 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.”The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 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.” And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.But when John rebuked Herod the tetrarch because of his marriage to Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the other evil things he had done, Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.James 3:1-20New International Version (NIV)Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® Used by permission.

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— during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 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. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all mankind will see God's salvation.'” (Luke 3:1-6 NIV) Luke is speaking of John the Baptist in this passage, and he quotes a prophecy from the book of Isaiah given some 700 years earlier. Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that God is working in the world and has been working for many centuries. We get caught up in the busyness of life and we become spiritually sleepy. The call of Advent is to “Wake Up!” from our spiritual slumber, allow God to refresh and renew us, and to see the world through God's eyes. One key element of “waking up” is making time for spiritual contemplation, which looks like this:1) Reflect Luke 1:5-25 tells about an incident when Zechariah could not speak.Our lives can be very noisy, and we fail to develop inner quietness and peace.Consider the “Quiet Game” challenge (devotional, p. 31-32)2) Repent Luke 3:3 – John the Baptist calls people to a baptism of repentance. When we make time to reflect and find inner quiet, God often speaks to us about areas of our lives He would like to change. Repent is a good word! (devotional p. 39) Repentance is not just walking away from something bad, it is running towards what is good. Take this time to receive forgiveness from God and find a new direction.3) Realign  Matthew 11:2-6 – Christ instructs His disciples to go report to John all the good they see Jesus doing.“We want life to turn out the way we think it should. It doesn't work like that. Our expectations of others and of God are unrealistic.” (devotional, p. 45) We find ourselves frustrated and disappointed. We must realign our assumptions and expectations.Conclusion- How can you Reflect this week? How might you make more time for inner silence and contemplation? Is this already a part of your daily ritual, or something you need to add?- How can you make time to Repent this week? When you find silence, what is God speaking to you about? How can your repenting be not just “I'm sorry” but constructively picking a new direction?- How do you need to Realign your expectations this week? Are there areas of life where you are frustrated or disappointed - with yourself, others, or God? Don't be afraid to admit your disappointment. What would more realistic expectations look like?

December 2, 2020 Advent 2 Luke 3:1-18 3 It was the fifteenth year in the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. Herod ruled Galilee, and his brother Philip ruled Iturea and Trachonitis. Lysanias was the ruler of Abilene. 2 It was at the time when Annas and Caiaphas were chief priests that God spoke to John, son of Zechariah, in the desert. 3 John traveled throughout the region around the Jordan River. He told people about a baptism of repentance [a] for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As the prophet Isaiah wrote in his book, “A voice cries out in the desert: ‘Prepare the way for the Lord! Make his paths straight! 5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be leveled. The crooked ways will be made straight. The rough roads will be made smooth. 6 All people will see the salvation that God gives.' ” 7 Crowds of people were coming to be baptized by John. He would say to them, “You poisonous snakes! Who showed you how to flee from God's coming anger? 8 Do those things that prove that you have turned to God and have changed the way you think and act. Don't say, ‘Abraham is our ancestor.' I guarantee that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones. 9 The ax is now ready to cut the roots of the trees. Any tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire.” 10 The crowds asked him, “What should we do?” 11 He answered them, “Whoever has two shirts should share with the person who doesn't have any. Whoever has food should share it too.” 12 Some tax collectors came to be baptized. They asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13 He told them, “Don't collect more money than you are ordered to collect.” 14 Some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He told them, “Be satisfied with your pay, and never use threats or blackmail to get money from anyone.” 15 People's hopes were rising as they all wondered whether John was the Messiah. 16 John replied to all of them, “I baptize you with water. But the one who is more powerful than I is coming. I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing [b] shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor.[c] He will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.” 18 With many other encouraging words, he told the Good News to the people.

La predicación de Juan el Bautista 52Mt. 3. 1-12 Mc. 1. 2-8 Jn. 1. 23, 26-27 3 1 El año decimoquinto del reinado del emperador Tiberio, cuando Poncio Pilato gobernaba la Judea, siendo Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, su hermano Filipo tetrarca de Iturea y Traconítide, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene, 2 bajo el pontificado de Anás y Caifás, Dios dirigió su palabra a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, que estaba en el desierto. 3 Este comenzó entonces a recorrer toda la región del río Jordán, anunciando un bautismo de conversión para el perdón de los pecados, 4 como está escrito en el libro del profeta Isaías: 4 Una voz grita en el desierto: 4 Preparen el camino del Señor, 4 allanen sus senderos. 5 Los valles serán rellenados, 5 las montañas y las colinas serán aplanadas. 5 Serán enderezados los senderos sinuosos 5 y nivelados los caminos desparejos. 6 Entonces, todos los hombres 6 verán la Salvación de Dios.

Los cristianos en Jerusalén habían estado relativamente libres de la persecución desde la muerte de Esteban (8:1). Aunque Pablo había recibido amenazas contra su vida (9:29), había podido moverse con bastante libertad en Jerusalén. En años posteriores, la iglesia recibió una amenaza no de los líderes religiosos de los judíos, ni de la gente común y corriente, sino de una persona a quien Lucas describe como el rey Herodes. ¿Quién era este rey? Era Herodes Agripa I (nacido en el año 10 a.C.), nieto de Herodes el Grande (Mt. 2:1) y de Mariamne, una judía. Era hijo de Aristóbulo, quien murió en el año 7 a.C. Su madre lo envió a Roma, donde Herodes Agripa fue educado y donde trabó amistad con Gaio (Calígula), quien llegó a ser emperador en el año 37 d.C. Este emperador proclamó a Herodes Agripa rey sobre Iturea, Traconite, y Abilene (Lc. 3:1), las tetrarquías al este de Galilea. En el año 39, el tío de Herodes Agripa, Herodes Antipas, como su sobrino, solicitó al emperador un título real. Antipas había gobernado la tetrarquía de Galilea y Perea desde la muerte de su padre en el año 4 a.C. Sin embargo, en lugar de recibir el codiciado título, Antipas fue depuesto y exiliado, y Herodes Agripa, quien obviamente había influenciado al emperador, obtuvo la tetrarquía de Antipas. Después de la muerte de Calígula en el año 41 d.C. Herodes Agripa apeló al emperador Claudio y recibió de éste Judea y Samaria. Por ese tiempo, el rey Herodes Agripa gobernó sobre territorios que igualaban los de su abuelo, Herodes el Grande.

Det var en gang... Sånn begynner de aller fleste eventyr. Det var en gang, en eller annen plass. Men når Lukas skriver, så er det helt annerledes. I Evangeliet etter Lukas 3.1-2 står det: ---------- I keiser Tiberius' femtende regjeringsår, mens Pontius Pilatus var landshøvding i Judea og Herodes var landsfyrste over Galilea, hans bror Filip over Iturea og Trakonitis, og Lysanias over Abilene, 2 og mens Annas og Kaifas var øversteprester, da kom Guds ord til Johannes, Sakarjas sønn, i ødemarken. ------------ Det var noe viktig som skjedde og Lukas er ganske detaljert når han innleder denne historien. For dette er ikke et eventyr, men noe som faktisk har skjedd. En annen ting som jeg legger merke til her er at Lukas tar med ikke bare at Johannes hørte noe fra Gud, men hvor Johannes var da det skjedde. I ødemarken. Guds ord kom ikke til Johannes mens han så på Netflix, eller var superstresset på jobb. Han var i ødemarken. Hva kjennetegner ødemarken? Det er som ofte ganske øde der. Få distraksjoner. Stille. Muligens litt krevende å ubehagelig å være der. Og du opplever kanskje at du er liten og sårbar. Der i ødemarken møtte Johannes Gud. Dagens utfordring til deg og meg kan være å finne en «ødemark», et stille sted, der vi har tid til å lytte etter Guds stemme. ------------ Hva tenker du om disse ordene her i Lukas 2?

As we begin our study on John the Baptist, we are going to take the Scripture accounts of his life from all four gospels and merge them into one single narrative.  But rest assured, all you will see is nothing but Scripture.  Nothing has been added.  This helps us get a complete view of John's incredible ministry, the man Jesus said was without rival in all of humanity (Matthew 11:11). The following is the beginning of John's ministry as told from Matthew 3:1-12, Mark 1:4-8 and Luke 3:1-18. (LK) Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. (MT) In those days John the Baptist (MK) came baptizing in the wilderness (MT) of Judea. (LK) And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, (MT) saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"  For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, (LK) saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough ways smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" (MT) Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. (MK) Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, (MT) and all the region around the Jordan went out to him (MK) and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. (MT) But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, (LK) he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, (MT) "Brood of vipers!  Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.'  For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.  And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees.  Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." (LK) So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?"  He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise." Then tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"  And he said to them, "Collect no more than what is appointed for you."  Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, "And what shall we do?"  So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages." Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, John answered, (MK) and he preached, (LK) saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water (MT) unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry, [and] (MK) whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.  I indeed baptized you with water, but (LK) He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.  His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”  And with many other exhortations he preached to the people. But there is so much more.  And note the substance of John's preaching.  It was of repentance and the coming Kingdom of Heaven.  Are they both related?  Absolutely. The Word of God Came to John Did you catch the open phrase of John's ministry?  It says "the word of God came to John in the wilderness" (Luke 3:2).  How did that happen?  What was that like?  Does God still reveal Himself to others as He did to John?  Or has that time of specific, intimate instruction from God to man somehow ceased?  And if the "word of God" doesn't come to individuals today, did God stop transmitting or did we stop receiving?  These are important questions you must answer for yourself as you grow in your understanding of Him.  But remember, God can do anything He wants to anyone under any circumstance and at any time that pleases Him, period.  And He doesn't ask you or me for permission or how comfortable we feel about what He is doing.  We just hang on for the ride. That's why it says in Ephesians 3:20-21: Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.  Amen. Did you get that?  Ask or think.  It may take a measure of faith to ask God for something, but it takes even less to think it.  And God can do "exceedingly abundantly" beyond what we dream about in the solitude of our mind late at night but would never allow it to pass our lips and be heard by others.  God has them both covered. Join with us as we look at the life of the greatest man that ever lived, according to Jesus.  And I think He is a perfect judge of character.  Don't you? The following is a study on the Beginning of the Ministry of John the Baptist and the Preaching of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Juan el Bautista (en griego ??????? ? ?????????, Ioann?s ho baptist?s o ??????? ? ????????, Ioann?s ho baptiz?n;conocido como profeta Yahya en el Corán), o simplemente el Bautista o san Juan, fue un predicador ambulante judío coetáneo de Jesús de Nazaret, nacido a finales del siglo I a.C.1 Es venerado como un importante personaje religiosoen el cristianismo, el islam y la fe bahá'í. Está considerado un profeta por todas estas confesiones y varias ramas del cristianismo le han proclamado santo. Es considerado un personaje muy importante en el mandeísmo, pero no su fundador. Juan usaba el bautismo como sacramento central de su movimiento mesiánico. La mayoría de los académicos está de acuerdo en que Juan bautizó a Jesús.1617 Algunos estudiosos creen que Jesús fue discípulo de Juan181920 y varios evangelios cuentan que algunos de los seguidores de Jesús habían sido antes discípulos de Juan. Juan el Bautista también fue mencionado por el historiador judío Flavio Josefo. Algunos expertos mantienen que Juan estaba influenciado por los esenios, una secta con algunas características ascéticas que esperaba un apocalipsis y practicaba rituales muy relacionados con el bautismo24 aunque no hay evidencias que apoyen esta hipótesis.2 Según el Nuevo Testamento, Juan anticipó a una figura mesiánica mayor que él mismo,26 y el que vino fue Jesús. Los cristianos hablan de Juan como si fuera el precursor de Jesús,27 por haber anunciado su venida. Juan también tiene elementos en común con el profeta Elías.2829 En el Evangelio de Marcos El Evangelio de Marcos presenta a Juan el cumplidor de una profecía de Isaías (que, en realidad, es una compilación de frases del Segundo Isaías, del Libro de Malaquías y del Libro del Éxodo).30 Esta profecía hablaba de un mensajero que iba por delante y de una voz que clama en el desierto. Dice que Juan usaba un manto hecho de pelo de camello y que se alimentaba de saltamontes y de miel silvestre. Juan proclamaba el bautismo del arrepentido para el perdón de los pecados. Según Marcos, Juan decía que vendría otro después de él que no bautizaría con agua, sino con el Espíritu Santo. Jesús acudió a Juan y fue bautizado por él en el río Jordán. Según Marcos, el hecho ocurrió así: En aquellos días, Jesús llegó desde Nazaret de Galilea y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán. Y al salir del agua, vio que los cielos se abrían y que el Espíritu Santo descendía sobre él como una paloma; y una voz desde el cielo dijo: «Tú eres mi hijo querido, mi predilecto». Marcos 1:9-11 Posteriormente, se narra la muerte de Juan. El tetrarca Herodes Antipas, al escuchar historias de Jesús, piensa que Juan el Bautista ha resucitado de los muertos. Posteriormente, Marcos explica que Juan condenó a Herodes Antipas por casarse con Herodías, la ex-mujer de su hermano (al que llama Felipe). Herodías pedía su ejecución, pero Herodes Antipas se entretenía escuchando sus historias y era reacio a hacerlo porque le temía, ya que era un hombre «recto y sagrado». El relato narra posteriormente que la hija de Herodías danzó ante Antipas, lo que le complació tanto que le ofreció que escogiera cualquier cosa como premio. La hija preguntó a su madre, la cual le dijo que pidiera la cabeza de Juan el Bautista. Aunque reacio, Antipas ordenó la decapitación de Juan, y su cabeza le fue entregada a la chica en un plato. Los discípulos de Juan tomaron el cuerpo y lo enterraron en una tumba (Marcos 6:17-29). Cabeza de san Juan Bautista. José de Ribera. 1644. Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Madrid. Este pasaje presenta varios problemas. El Evangelio de Marcos identifica erróneamente a Herodes Antipas como un «rey»,31 cuando era un tetrarca, y llama Filipo al ex-marido de Herodías cuando se sabe se llamaba Herodes Boeto (también conocido como Herodes el Joven).32 Además, otros textos hablan de «la hija de Herodes, Herodías». Muchos académicos creen que esto último es lo correcto y que fue corregido en versiones posteriores del texto de Marcos y los evangelios de Mateo y Lucas.323334 Flavio Josefo dice que Herodías tenía una hija llamada Salomé. Los académicos han especulado sobre el origen de esta historia. Muestra signos de haber sido compuesta en arameo, que era un idioma que Marcos aparentemente no hablaba, por lo que puede haberla sacado de alguna fuente palestina.35 Hay diversas opiniones sobre la cantidad de material histórico que contiene.36 Muchos académicos han considerado que la historia del arresto, la ejecución y el entierro de Juan puede haberse elaborado para relacionarla con el destino de Jesús.37 En el Evangelio de Mateo El relato del Evangelio de Mateo contiene la profecía de Isaías,38 y la información del Libro de Malaquías y del Libro del Éxodo es mencionada por el propio Jesús más adelante.39 La descripción de Juan se toma directamente del Evangelio de Marcos: «un manto hecho de pelo de camello, un cinturón de cuero en la cintura, y se alimentaba de saltamontes y miel silvestre», junto con el anuncio de que el que vendría posteriormente bautizaría con el Espíritu Santo «y el fuego» (Mateo 3:1-12). A diferencia de Marcos, Mateo describe a Juan como crítico con los fariseos y saduceos y aparece predicando que «el reino de los cielos se acerca» y un «juicio venidero». Mateo abrevia la historia de la decapitación de Juan y añade dos elementos: que Herodes Antipas quería ver muerto a Juan y que Jesús fue informado de este hecho por sus discípulos.40 Mateo no se centra en Herodes Antipas, sino en Juan como el precursor de Jesús. Aunque Marcos habla de que Herodes Antipas mató a Juan a regañadientes y por la insistencia de Herodías, Mateo dice que Herodes Antipas quería ver muerto a Juan.41 En su evangelio, Jesús dice: «De cierto os digo: Entre los que nacen de mujer no se ha levantado otro mayor que Juan el Bautista; pero el más pequeño en el reino de los cielos, mayor es que él» Mateo 11:11 En el Evangelio de Lucas y en los Hechos de los Apóstoles Juan y Jesús de niños en un cuadro de Murillo. Según Lucas sus madres eran parientes. El Evangelio de Lucas narra la milagrosa concepción de Isabel, que era estéril (Lucas 1:7-9), esposa de Zacarías, ambos ancianos y sin hijos. Puede que este evangelio defina a Isabel como estéril por haber pasado ya la menopausia.4243 Según el relato de Lucas, el ángel Gabriel le anticipó el nacimiento de Juan a Zacarías mientras que este ejercía de sacerdote en el Templo de Jerusalén. Zacarías es descrito como un sacedote de la casa de Abías e Isabel es descrita como descendiente de Aarón (Lucas 1:5). Esto impica que ambos cónyuges eran descendientes de Aarón.44 Los católicos, los anglicanos y los luteranos celebran la natividad de Juan el Bautista el 24 de junio, seis meses antes de la Navidad. En tiempos de Herodes, rey de Judea, había un sacerdote llamado Zacarías, de la clase sacerdotal de Abías. Su mujer, llamada Isabel, era descendiente de Aarón. Ambos eran justos a los ojos de Dios y seguían en forma irreprochable todos los mandamientos y preceptos del Señor. Pero no tenían hijos, porque Isabel era estéril; y los dos eran de edad avanzada. Un día en que su clase estaba de turno y Zacarías ejercía la función sacerdotal delante de Dios, le tocó en suerte, según la costumbre litúrgica, entrar en el Santuario del Señor para quemar el incienso. Toda la asamblea del pueblo permanecía afuera, en oración, mientras se ofrecía el incienso. Entonces se le apareció el ángel del Señor, de pie, a la derecha del altar del incienso. Al verlo, Zacarías quedó desconcertado y tuvo miedo. Pero el ángel le dijo: «No temas, Zacarías; tu súplica ha sido escuchada. Isabel, tu esposa, te dará un hijo al que llamarás Juan. Él será para ti un motivo de gozo y de alegría, y muchos se alegrarán de su nacimiento, porque será grande a los ojos del Señor. No beberá vino ni bebida alcohólica; estará lleno del Espíritu Santo desde el seno de su madre, y hará que muchos israelitas vuelvan al Señor, su Dios. Precederá al Señor con el espíritu y el poder de Elías, para reconciliar a los padres con sus hijos y atraer a los rebeldes a la sabiduría de los justos, preparando así al Señor un Pueblo bien dispuesto». Pero Zacarías dijo al ángel: «¿Cómo puedo estar seguro de esto? Porque yo soy anciano y mi esposa es de edad avanzada». El ángel le respondió: «Yo soy Gabriel, el que está delante de Dios, y he sido enviado para hablarte y anunciarte esta buena noticia. Te quedarás mudo, sin poder hablar hasta el día en que sucedan estas cosas, por no haber creído en mis palabras, que se cumplirán a su debido tiempo». Lucas 1:5-20 Zacarías permaneció mudo hasta el día de la circuncisión, cuando recuperó el habla tras escribir en una tabla «Su nombre es Juan». Lucas dice que María, madre de Jesús, e Isabel, eran parientes. No obstante, no se menciona ninguna relación familiar entre Juan y Jesús en los otros evangelios y Raymond Edward Brown la define como de «historicidad dudosa».46 Geza Vermes ha dicho que es «sin duda una creación artificial de Lucas».47 Las similitudes con la historia del nacimiento de Samuel en el Antiguo Testamento sugieren que Lucas podría haber tomado la historia de la anunciación de Jesús y la de Juan de la historia de Samuel. Según Lucas, Juan comenzó a predicar y a bautizar en el desierto: [...] el año decimoquinto del imperio del emperador Tiberio, cuando Poncio Pilato gobernaba Judea, cuando Herodes era tetrarca de Galilea, su hermano Filipo tetrarca de Iturea y Traconítide, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilene, en tiempo de los sumos sacerdotes Anás y Caifás Lucas 3:1-3 Tiberio sucedió a Augusto el 19 de agosto del año 767 (año 14 d. C.) de la fundación de Roma. Lucas pudo contabilizar los años siguiendo el calendario sirio que inicia el año el 1 de octubre, o bien el calendario romano que comienza en marzo, por lo cual no se sabe si tuvo en cuenta el primer año de la sucesión. Así, la fecha aproximada del inicio de la actividad del Bautista estaría en torno del año 28 de la era común. El de Lucas es el único evangelio donde Juan enseña explícitamente la caridad, bautiza a recaudadores de impuestos y da consejos a los soldados. El texto menciona brevemente que Juan fue arrestado y que, posteriormente, fue decapitado por Herodes, pero omite la historia de la petición de la hijastra. En el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles, que seguramente fue escrito por Lucas, se dice que algunos discípulos de Juan pasaron a ser discípulos de Jesús (Hechos 18:24 y Hechos 19:6), algo que no mencionan los evangelios con la excepción de Andrés, hermano de Pedro (Juan 1:35-42). En el Evangelio de Juan Juan Evangelista describe a Juan el Bautista como «un hombre enviado por Dios» que «no era la luz» pero que «vino como testigo para dar testimonio de la luz, de manera que a través de él todos creyeran» (Juan 1:6-8). Juan Bautista negaba claramente ser el Cristo, Elías o «el profeta», y en lugar de eso se definía a sí mismo como «la voz que clama en el desierto». Tras el análisis literal, es evidente que Juan es el «testigo y confesor por excelencia», sobre todo si se compara con figuras como la de Nicodemo. El bautismo de Jesús se da a entender, pero no se narra. Se narra que se vio «al espíritu bajar del cielo como una paloma y descansar sobre él». Juan el Bautista anuncia explícitamente que Jesús es el único que «bautiza en el Espíritu Santo», que es el «Hijo de Dios» y «el Cordero de Dios». El Evangelio de Juan informa de que los discípulos de Jesús fueron bautizados y que hubo un debate entre algunos discípulos de Juan y otros judíos sobre la purificación (Juan 3:22-36). En este debate Juan el Bautista argumentaba que Jesús «debe crecer» que él debería «dismimuir» (Juan 3:30) su relevancia. Este evangelio dice que, posteriormente, los discípulos de Jesús bautizaron a más gente que los discípulos de Juan. Posteriormente, el evangelio dice que Jesús veía a Juan como «una lámpara encendida y brillante», y que «estaban destinados a regocijarse durante un tiempo en esa luz» (Juan 5:35). Análisis comparativo Libro de Isaías Aunque para el Evangelio de Marcos la llegada de Juan el Bautista implica el cumplimiento de una profecía de Isaías, las palabras citadas son un conjunto de frases del Segundo Isaías, del Libro de Malaquías y del Libro del Éxodo. Las palabras citadas son las siguientes: Mira, envío por delante a mi mensajero para que te prepare el camino Una voz clama en el desierto Preparen el camino del Señor Enderecen sus senderos Mateo y Lucas omiten la primera parte de la cita.30 El bautismo de Jesús San Juan Bautizando a Cristo en el Jordán, por Francisco de Goya, 1780. Los evangelios difieren en los detalles del bautismo. En los de Marcos y Lucas, Jesús ve el cielo abierto y oye una voz que le aborda personalmente diciendo «Tú eres mi hijo querido, mi predilecto». Ellos no aclaran si los demás vieron y escucharon esto. En Mateo, la voz del cielo no se dirige personalmente a Jesús, y dice: «Este es mi hijo amado, mi predilecto» (Mateo 3:17). En el Evangelio de Juan, Juan el Bautista ve bajar una paloma y da testimonio de esto como prueba de la condición mesiánica de Jesús. Conocimientos de Juan acerca de Jesús La concepción que Juan tiene de Jesús varía dependiendo del evangelio. En el de Marcos, Juan predica la llegada de un líder, pero no da señales de que Jesús sea ese líder. En el de Mateo, no obstante, Juan reconoce inmediatamente a Jesús y se cuestiona si está capacitado para bautizarle. Tanto en Mateo como en Lucas, Juan pregunta: «¿Eres tú el que va a venir o debemos esperar a otro?». En el de Lucas, Juan es familiar de Jesús y ambos nacimientos fueron profetizados por el ángel Gabriel. Según Juan Evangelista, Juan el Bautista contempló al Espíritu Santo descendiendo con forma de paloma y predicó explítamente que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Juan y Elías Los evangelios varían en sus descripciones de la relación de Juan con Elías. Mateo y Marcos describen la ropa de Juan de forma que recuerda a la descripción de Elías en 2 Reyes 1:8, quien también llevaba ropa de pelo y un cinturón de cuero. En el Evangelio de Mateo, Jesús enseña explícitamente que Juan es el «Elías que había de venir» (Mateo 11:14 y Mateo 17:11-13); muchos teólogos cristianos ha dicho que esto quiere decir que Juan es el sucesor de Elías. En el Evangelio de Juan, Juan el Bautista niega ser Elías explícitamente.51 En el relato de la anunciación realizado por Lucas, se le aparece un ángel a Zacarías, padre de Juan, que le dice que su hijo «convertirá a muchos de los hijos de Israel al Señor su Dios» y que tendrá «el espíritu y el poder de Elías» (Lucas 1:16-17). En el Evangelio de Juan, se presenta a Juan el Bautista diciendo: Respondió Juan: -No puede el hombre recibir nada si no se lo concede el cielo. Ustedes son testigos de que dije: Yo no soy el Mesías, sino que me han enviado por delante de él. Quien se lleva a la novia es el novio. El amigo del novio que está escuchando se alegra de oír la voz del novio. Por eso mi gozo es perfecto. Él debe crecer y yo disminuir. Juan 3:27-31 Quien viene de arriba está por encima de todos. Quien viene de la tierra es terreno y habla de cosas terrenas. Quien viene de cielo está por encima de todos. Él atestigua lo que ha visto y oído, y nadie acepta su testimonio. Quien acepta su testimonio certifica que Dios es veraz. El enviado de Dios habla de las cosas divinas, porque Dios le da el Espíritu sin medida. El Padre ama al Hijo y todo lo pone en sus manos. Quien cree en el Hijo tiene vida eterna. Quien no cree al Hijo no verá la vida, porque la ira de Dios permanece sobre él. Juan 3:31-36 La diferencia entre el ministerio general de los esenios y el de Juan estriba en que aquellos enfatizaban en el estudio de la Ley y, en general, de las Sagradas Escrituras, y Juan en la predicación y bautismo para la conversión del pueblo. Según los evangelios, bautizó también a Jesús de Nazaret en el río Jordán (Lucas 3:21-22, Marcos 1:9-11) y lo reconoció como el Mesías (Juan 1:25-34, Mateo 3:13-17). [...] parece que Juan el Bautista y tal vez también Jesús y su familia fueron cercanos a esta comunidad. En cualquier caso, en los manuscritos de Qumrán hay múltiples puntos de contacto con el mensaje cristiano. No puede descartarse que Juan el Bautista viviera un tiempo en esta comunidad y haya recibido en ella, en parte, su formación religiosa Benedicto XVI Según Flavio Josefo Existe información sobre Juan el Bautista en Antigüedades judías (libro XVIII, capítulo 5, 2) de Flavio Josefo (37-100). Esta viene a confirmar que Juan fue decapitado por orden de Herodes Antipas, indicando que esto tuvo lugar en la fortaleza de Maqueronte. En la actualidad, algunos de los judíos piensan que la destrucción del ejército de Herodes vino de Dios, y que fue muy justa, como un castigo por lo que hizo en contra de Juan, que fue llamado el Bautista: porque Herodes mató a quien era un buen hombre y comandaba la ira de los judíos, hubo justicia por ambas partes, y piedad hacia Dios, y así se iba al bautismo; para que el lavado [con agua] fuese aceptable para él, si se hacía uso de ella, no para quitar algunos pecados, sino para la purificación del cuerpo, en el caso de que el alma se haya purificado de antemano con la justicia. Ahora, cuando otros llegaban en tropel alrededor suya, porque estaban gratamente complacidos al oír sus palabras, Herodes, que estaba asustado por la gran influencia que tenía sobre el pueblo para ponerlo de su parte e iniciar una rebelión (porque ellos estaban dispuestos a hacer cualquier cosa que él les aconsejase) pensó que lo mejor era llevarlo a la muerte, para evitar cualquier daño que pudiera causar, y que lo le trajera dificultades, y ahorrarse a un hombre que podía hacer que ocurrieran y que se arrepintiera cuando fuera demasiado tarde. En consecuencia, fue enviado como prisionero, lejos del temperamento suspicaz de Herodes, a Maqueronte, el castillo antes mencionado, y allí fue condenado a muerte. Ahora los judíos opinaban que este ejército fue enviado como castigo a Herodes, y que es un signo del desagrado que Dios siente hacia él.52 La primera referencia conocida a este pasaje se puede encontrar en el siglo III, cuando fue citada por Orígenes en la obra Contra Celsum. De acuerdo con este pasaje, la ejecución de Juan fue la culpa de una derrota que Herodes sufrió en torno al año 36 d.C. Hay divergencias entre este pasaje y las narraciones bíblicas. De acuerdo con este pasaje el bautismo de Juan para aquellas almas que ya se hayan «purificado anteriormente por la rectitud» es para la purificación del cuerpo, y no para el perdón de los pecados, como se dice en Marcos 1:4. El académico experto en temas bíblicos John Dominic Crossan diferencia a Juan y a Jesús en la narración de Josefo: «Juan tenía un monopolio, pero Jesús tenía una franquicia». «Al bautizarse —escribe Crossan— se iba solamente con Juan; para parar el movimiento solo necesitabas parar a Juan (por lo que su movimiento terminó con su muerte). Sin embargo, Jesús invitaba a todos a ir y a ver cómo él sus compañeros aceptaban el reino de Dios, para entrar y vivir en él. En el caso de Jesús, la praxis comunal no era solamente suya, sino que podía sobrevivir sin él, a diferencia del movimiento de Juan».53 Reliquias La mezquita Nabi Yahya, en Sebastia, cerca de Nablús. Tradicionalmente se ha dicho que san Juan Bautista está enterrado en la mezquita de Nabi Yahya, en Sebastia (Palestina), y se mencionó que sus reliquias eran veneradas ahí en el siglo IV. Rufino de Aquilea y Teodoreto de Ciro escribieron que el santuario fue profanado bajo el reinado de Juliano el Apóstata, alrededor del 362, y que sus huesos fueron parcialmente quemados. Parte de las reliquias rescatadas fueron llevadas a Jerusalén y, posteriormente, a Alejandría, donde el 27 de mayo del 395 se colocaron en una nueva basílica construida sobre un templo de Serapis. La tumba de Sebastia siguió siendo visitada por peregrinos y san Jerónimo mencionó que allí se producían milagros. Capilla de Juan el Bautista en la mezquita de los Omeyas de Damasco. El destino de la cabeza de san Juan el Bautista es difícil de determinar. Nicéforo Calixto54 y Simón Metafraste dicen que Herodías la enterró en la fortaleza de Maqueronte (la fortaleza donde, según Josefo, había sido ejecutado). Otros autores dicen que fue enterrada en el Palacio de Herodes de Jerusalén, donde fue encontrada en el reinado de Constantino I y llevada en secreto a Emesa, donde se escondió. El lugar donde se ocultó fue desconocido durante años, hasta que se descubrió en el 453. No obstante, el paño de la decapitación de Juan se conserva en la Catedral de Aquisgrán. La Iglesia ortodoxa dice que son ellos los que poseen las reliquias de san Juan Bautista en un monasterio del Bajo Egipto, entre El Cairo y Alejandría. Es posible, con el permiso de los monjes, ver la tumba donde, supuestamente, están sus restos. Varios lugares afirman o han afirmado poseer la cabeza cortada de Juan el Bautista. El lugar oficial de la Iglesia católica es la capilla de san Juan Bautista (Nabi Yahya en árabe) de la Mezquita de los Omeyas de Damasco;55 El lugar fue visitado por el papa Juan Pablo II en 2001, que «hizo una pausa de un minuto para meditar en silencio ante la tumba de san Juan Bautista».56 No obstante, antes de creerse que estaba ahí la Iglesia católica también la ha situado en la iglesia de San Silvestro in Capite de Roma;57 en la Catedral de Amiens (a donde, supuestamente, había sido llevada por los templarios); y en algún lugar indeterminado de la ciudad turca de Antioquía. Otras tradiciones suponen que estaba en la Residencia de Múnich, Alemania (que fue la residencia oficial de los gobernantes de la casa de Wittelsbach de Baviera desde 1385 a 1918);57 o incluso en la iglesia parroquial de Tenterden, Kent, donde se conservó hasta la Reforma Protestante. Hay tradiciones de que la mano derecha del santo, con la que bautizó a Jesús se encuentra en el monasterio ortodoxo de Cetinje, en Montenegro; en el Palacio de Topkapi de Estambul; y en el skete rumano del Presursor en el monte Athos. Hay tradiciones de que la mano izquierda del santo se encuentra en la Iglesia apostólica armenia de San Juan en Hugli-Chuchura, Bengala Occidental, donde anualmente, en el «Día Chuchura», en enero, bendice a los fieles de Calcuta.58 Hay manuscritos del siglo XI y del XVI descubiertos en 1969 que dicen que una cripta del monasterio de San Macario el Grande en Scetes, Egipto,59 guarda reliquias de san Juan Bautista. También se dice que hay reliquias suyas en la catedral del monasterio de San Juan Bautista, en Gandzasar, Nagorno Karabaj. Hay otra tradición en la ciudad de Halifax, en Yorkshire del Oeste, Reino Unido, que tiene la cabeza de Juan en su escudo de armas. Una leyenda que aparece en la obra Britannia de William Camden, del siglo XVI, dice que el nombre de la ciudad (halig, sagrado, y fax, cara) hace referencia a que los primeros religiosos que se asentaron en la zona trajeron consigo la cabeza de Juan el Bautista.60 En 2010 se descubrieron algunos huesos en las ruinas de la iglesia del monasterio de San Juan el Precursor en la isla búlgara de San Iván, en el Mar Negro. Dos años después, tras un análisis de ADN y de datación por radiocarbono, se probó que los huesos pertenecían a un hombre de Oriente Medio que vivió en el siglo I a.C., por lo que pudieron haber pertenecido a Juan el Bautista.6162 En la actualidad, los restos se encuentran en un relicario en la iglesia de San Cirilo y Metodio, en Sozopol.6163 Su figura en las religiones Cristianismo Iglesia parroquial de San Juan Bautista. Masatepe, Nicaragua. Los cristianos creen que Juan tuvo un papel específico encomendado por Dios para que fuera precursor de Jesús, que era el mesías anunciado. Los evangelios canónicos mencionan este papel. En Lucas 1:17 el papel de Juan es el de "reconciliar a los padres con los hijos y a los rebeldes con la sabiduría de los honrados" para preparar "para el Señor un pueblo bien dispuesto". En Lucas Lucas 1:76 se dice que caminaría "delante del Señor, preparándole el camino". En Lucas 1:77 se dice que Juan estaba para anunciar "a su pueblo la salvación por el perdón de los pecados". Hay varios pasajes del Antiguo Testamento que son considerados profecías sobre Juan el Bautista por los cristianos. Entre estos está Malaquías 3:1, que dice: Miren, yo envío mi mensajero a parar el camino delante de mí. De pronto entrará en el santuario el Señor que buscan; el mensajero de la alianza que tanto desean, mírenlo entrar - dice el Señor Todopoderoso Y también Malaquías 3:23-24, que dice: Y yo les enviaré al profeta Elías antes de que llegue el día del Señor, grande y terrible: reconciliará a padres con hijos, a hijos con padres y así no vendré yo a exterminar la Tierra Los judíos de la época de Jesús esperaban que Elías viniera antes del Mesías. De hecho, algunos judíos modernos siguen esperando la venida de Elías, así como la Copa de Elías en el Séder de Pésaj. Por eso en Mateo 17:10-13 se dice: Los discípulos le preguntaron: -¿Por qué dicen los letrados que primero tiene que venir Elías? Jesús respondió: -Elías tiene que venir a restablecer nuevamente el orden de todas las cosas. Pero les aseguro que Elías ya vino, no lo reconocieron y lo maltrataron. Del mismo modo el Hijo del Hombre va a sufrir en manos de ellos. Entonces comprendieron los discípulos que se refería a Juan el Bautista Estos pasajes se aplican a san Juan Bautista en los evangelios sinópticos (Mateo 3:3, Marcos 1:2, Marcos 1:3 y Lucas 1:16-17) pero es el Evangelio de Mateo el que identifica a Juan el Bautista como el sucesor espiritual de Elías (Mateo 11:14 y Mateo 17:13) ya que los evangelios de Marcos y Lucas no lo dicen. El Evangelio de Juan dice que Juan el Bautista negó que él fuera Elías (Juan 1:19-23): Este es el testimonio de Juan, cuando los judíos [le] enviaron desde Jerusalén sacerdotes y levitas a preguntarle quién era. Él confesó y no negó; confesó que no era el Mesías. Le preguntaron: -Entonces, ¿eres Elías? Respondió: -No lo soy. -¿Eres el profeta? Respondió: -No. Le dijeron: -¿Quién eres? Tenemos que llevar una respuesta a quienes nos enviaron; ¿qué dices de ti? Respondió: -Yo soy la voz que clama en el desierto: Enderecen el camino del Señor, según dice el profeta Elías. Los primeros judeocristianos En el primer judaísmo cristiano (gnóstico, de acuerdo con Epifanio de Salamina en su Panarion, parte 30) los ebionitas sostenían que Juan, Jesús y Santiago (todos ellos venerados) eran vegetarianos.646566676869 Epifanio de Salamina escribió que los ebionitas habían modificado el Evangelio de Mateo (creando el conocido como Evangelio de los ebionitas) para cambiar la palabra "saltamontes" por "pasteles de miel" o "de maná". Iglesia católica La Iglesia católica conmemora a san Juan Bautista en dos días: el 24 de junio su natividad y el 29 de agosto su decapitación. Algunos católicos sostienen que Juan el Bautista estaba libre de pecado, aunque esto nunca ha sido parte de la doctrina, como sí lo es el inmaculismo de María. En su Tratado sobre la oración, santa Catalina de Siena incluye un breve episodio sobre la lucha contra el diablo, que trataba de atraerla con la vanidad y la adulación. Hablando en primera persona, santa Catalina de Siena responde al diablo con las siguientes palabras: [...] para tu humillación, y tú respondiste al diablo con estas palabras: "¡Miserable de mí! Juan Bautista nunca pecó y fue santificado en el vientre de su madre. Y yo he cometido tantos pecados [...]" Catalina de Siena. Tratado sobre la oración. Iglesia ortodoxa oriental Los fieles de la Iglesia ortodoxa oriental creen que Juan era el último de los profetas del Antiguo Testamento, por lo que sirve como puente entre ese período de la revelación y la Nueva Alianza. También enseñan que, tras su muerte, Juan descendió al Hades y allí, predicó de nuevo que el Mesías Jesús iba a venir, por lo que fue el precursor de Cristo en la muerte como lo había sido en vida. Los templos ortodoxos suelen tener una figura de san Juan Bautista en un lugar de honor en el iconostasio, y se menciona con frecuencia en los Servicios Divinos. Todos los martes del año están dedicados a su memoria. La Iglesia ortodoxa oriental conmemora a san Juan el Precursor en seis días de fiesta diferentes, que se enumeran aquí en el orden en el que se producen durante el año de esta Iglesia (que comienza el 1 de septiembre): 23 de septiembre: Concepción de san Juan el Precursor. 7 de enero: La Sinaxis de san Juan el Precursor. Este es el principal día festivo, que va justo después de la teofanía del 6 de enero (el 7 de enero también se conmemora el traspaso de la reliquia de la mano derecha de Juan el Bautista desde Antioquía a Constantinopla en el 956). 24 de febrero: Primer y segundo encuentro de la cabeza de san Juan el Precursor. 25 de mayo: Tercer encuentro de la cabeza de san Juan el Precursor. 24 de junio: Natividad de san Juan el Precursor. 29 de agosto: La decapitación de San Juan el Precursor. Además, la Iglesia ortodoxa y la Iglesia luterana conmemoran a Zacarías, padre de Juan, el 5 de septiembre en tanto que la Iglesia católica lo hace el 23 de septiembre. Isabel, madre de Juan, es conmemorada el 5 de septiembre en la Iglesia ortodoxa y anglicana, y el 5 de noviembre en la Iglesia católica y luterana. La Iglesia ortodoxa rusa conmemora el 12 de octubre el traspaso de la mano derecha del Precursor de Malta a Gatchina (1799). Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días (mormones) La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días enseña que su revelación moderna confirma el relato bíblico de Juan y también aporta nuevos elementos de su predicación. De acuerdo con esta creencia, cuando Juan tenía ocho años "el ángel del Señor le ordenó" que "derrocase el reino de los judíos" y que preparase al pueblo para el Señor. Los mormones también creen que "él fue bautizado cuando todavía era un niño".73 Joseph Smith dijo: "Vayamos a los tiempos del Nuevo Testamento donde muchos alababan al Señor y a sus apóstoles. Comenzaremos con Juan el Bautista. Cuando Herodes sacó su edicto para destruir a los niños pequeños, Juan era unos seis meses mayor que Jesús, y fue objetivo de este decreto infernal, y Zacarías le dijo a su madre que le llevará a las montañas, donde se crio a base de saltamontes y miel silvestre. Cuando su padre se negó a revelar su escondite, y siendo el sumo sacerdote que oficia en el templo de ese año, fue ejecutado por orden de Herodes, entre la entrada y el altar, como dijo Jesús." La Iglesia mormona enseña que Juan el bautista se apareció en la orilla del río Susquehanna, cerca del municipio de Harmony, condado de Susquehanna, Pensilvania, como un resucitado a Joseph Smith y a Oliver Cowdery el 15 de mayo de 1829 y les ordenó el ministerio arónico. De acuerdo con la doctrina mormona, el ministerio de Juan había trabajado en tres puntos: él era el último de los profetas bajo las normas de Moisés; él era el primero de los profetas del Nuevo Testamento; y él fue enviado para confirmar el ministerio arónico en nuestros días. Los mormones creen que el ministerio de Juan fue profetizado a dos profetas cuyas enseñanzas están incluidas en el Libro de Mormón: Lehi78 y su hijo Nephi. Islam Juan también es venerado como profeta en el islam, donde es llamado Ya?y? ibn Zakar?y? (???? ?? ?????), que significa "Juan, hijo de Zacarías". Los musulmanes creen que él revelaba la palabra de Dios y que fue un profeta que anunció la venida de Jesús. Su padre, Zacarías, también se considera profeta en el islam y la tradición islámica mantiene que Juan fue uno de los profetas que Mahoma conoció en la noche de Mi'raj82 en su ascensión a los Siete Cielos. Se dice que conoció a Juan y a Jesús en el segundo cielo, donde, tras saludarlo, ascendió con un arcángel hasta el tercer cielo. La historia de Juan también se cuenta durante la migración de refugiados musulmanes a Abisinia.83 Según el Corán, Dios le dio paz a Juan el día que nació y el día que murió. Mandeísmo Los mandeos consideran a Juan el Bautista su principal profeta, y tiene un importante papel en algunos de sus escritos, incluidos el Ginza Rba y el Draša D-Iahia (El libro mandeo de Juan). Los mandeos consideran a Juan como el único mesías verdadero y son contrarios a Jesús. Las escrituras mandeas dicen: «Si el carpintero [Jesús] se unió a Dios, ¿a quién se une el que se une al carpintero?». Bahaísmo El bahaísmo (o fe Bahá'í) considera a a Juan un profeta de Dios que, al igual que otros profetas, fue enviado para promover el conocimiento de Dios, para fomentar la unidad entre los pueblos del mundo y para mostrar a la gente la forma de vida correcta. Hay muchas citas en las escritos de Bahá'u'lláh, fundador de la fe Bahá'í, en las que menciona a Juan el Bautista. En su carta al papa Pío IX, Bahá'u'lláh escribió: ¡Oh, seguidores del hijo! Nosotros hemos enviado a Juan de nuevo entre vosotros, y Él, ciertamente, clama en el desierto de Bayán: ¡Oh, pueblos del mundo! ¡Limpiad vuestros ojos! ¡El día en que podréis contemplar al Prometido y arcercaros a Él se acerca a la noche! ¡Oh, seguidores del Evangelio! ¡Preparad el camino! ¡El Día del advenimiento del Señor Glorioso está a mano! Preparáos para entrar en el Reino. Así ha sido ordenado por Dios, el que da comienzo al alba.88 El bahaísmo considera a Juan un profeta menor.13 Bahá'u'lláh decía que su propio precursor, el Báb, era un regreso espiritual de Juan el Bautista. Bahá'u'lláh se refería a Báb como "Mi Precursor", que es el apodo que los cristianos le dan a Juan el Bautista.89 Sin embargo, el bahaísmo cree que Báb era un profeta mayor (Manifestación de Dios) y, por consiguiente, que estaba dotado de un estatus superior al de Juan el Bautista. Santo patrón San Juan el Bautista es el santo patrón de Jordania.90 Una isla caribeña, llamada Borinquén por los nativos, fue bautizada como San Juan por Cristóbal Colón el 19 de noviembre de 1493 cuando el Almirante navegaba hacia la isla de La Española en su segundo viaje a América.91 En el siglo XVI, Juan Ponce de León fundó la ciudad de Puerto Rico en la isla de San Juan. La ciudad terminó dando nombre a la isla, y la capital pasó a llamarse San Juan de Puerto Rico. En el escudo de la isla está la frase en latín "Joannes Est Nomen Eius" (Juan es su nombre), que aparece en Lucas 6:13. Así mismo, san Juan Bautista es patrón de decenas de municipios y provincias de España (por ejemplo, Salobreña, Badajoz, Chiclana de la Frontera, Albacete, Telde y Arucas, en Gran Canaria, San Juan de la Rambla, Arafo y Arico en Tenerife) e Hispanoamérica. Dentro de las fiestas de San Juan españolas, pueden destacarse las hogueras de San Juan, muy populares en Alicante y La Coruña. También es el santo patrón de la Provincia de Quebec y la de Terranova y Labrador, así como de las ciudades canadienses de San Juan de Terranova (Saint John of Newfoundland) (1497) y de Saint John de Nuevo Brunswick (1604). En Escocia, es patrón de Perth, que a menudo es conocida como Ciudad de San Juan de Perth (St. John's Toun of Perth). La iglesia medieval de la ciudad tiene la advocación de San Juan y el equipo de fútbol local se llama St Johnstone F.C.. También es patrón de Oporto, Portugal, donde la noche de san Juan (del 24 al 24 de junio) tiene lugar uno de los festivales urbanos más conocidos de Europa, la Festa de São João.92 También es patrón de las ciudades italianas de Florencia y Génova. Así mismo, es patrón de Malta y de la localidad de Xewkija, en la isla maltesa de Gozo. Es titular de muchas órdenes y hermandades, como la orden de caballeros hospitalarios de San Juan de Jerusalén. Así mismo, es patrón de la Policía Municipal de Madrid.93 Por la tradición católica española, es patrón de varias ciudades de Filipinas, como Calamba (La Laguna), Calumpit (Bulacán), Balayán (Batangas), Lian (Batangas) y San Juan (Gran Manila). Muchas fiestas filipinas celebran esta festividad con baños multitudinarios. La iglesia de Quiapo de Manila está dedicada a san Juan. También es patrón de la diócesis católica de Charleston, que abarca a toda Carolina del Sur, en Estados Unidos. En México, es patrón de la diócesis de la catedral de Tuxtepec, en el estado de Oaxaca. En España es el patrón de la Provincia Eclesiástica de Mérida-Badajoz y de la ciudad de Badajoz. Y Patrón de la Guardia Real.

Pastor Smith preaches from Luke 3:1-6 on December 9, 2018. 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—during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all people will see God’s salvation.’”

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, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” 12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13 “Don't collect any more than you are required to,” he told them. 14 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.”

Y todos verán la salvación de Dios.»

Luke 3:1-14 (NIV)John the Baptist Prepares the WayIn 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 wilderness. 3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,‘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 people 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, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”13 “Don't collect any more than you are required to,” he told them.14 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.”

And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(L) 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.”(M) 10 “What should we do then?”(N) the crowd asked. 11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”(O) 12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized.(P) “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?” 13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,”(Q) he told them. 14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely(R)—be content with your pay.” 15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John(S) might possibly be the Messiah.(T) 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[b] water.(U) But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[c] the Holy Spirit and fire.(V)
