Luc 3
3
1La quinzième année de l'empire de Tibère César, Ponce Pilate étant gouverneur de la Judée, Hérode étant tétrarque de la Galilée, Philippe son frère, tétrarque de l'Iturée et de la province de la Trachonite, et Lysanias, tétrarque d'Abylène,
2Anne et Caïphe étant souverains sacrificateurs, la parole de Dieu fut adressée à Jean, fils de Zacharie, dans le désert.
3Et il vint dans tout le pays qui est aux environs du Jourdain, prêchant le baptême de repentance, pour la rémission des péchés;
4Selon qu'il est écrit au livre des paroles du prophète Esaïe: La voix de celui qui crie dans le désert, est: Préparez le chemin du Seigneur, aplanissez ses sentiers.
5Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, les chemins tortus seront redressés, et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis;
6Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.
7Il disait donc au peuple qui venait pour être baptisé par lui: Race de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir?
8Faites donc des fruits convenables à la repentance; et ne dites point en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis que Dieu peut faire naître de ces pierres mêmes des enfants à Abraham.
9Or, la cognée est déjà mise à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit va être coupé et jeté au feu.
10Alors le peuple lui demanda: Que ferons-nous donc?
11Il leur répondit: Que celui qui a deux habits en donne à celui qui n'en a point; et que celui qui a de quoi manger en fasse de même.
12Il vint aussi des péagers pour être baptisés; et ils lui dirent: Maître, que ferons-nous?
13Et il leur dit: N'exigez rien au delà de ce qui vous a été ordonné.
14Les gens de guerre lui demandèrent aussi: Et nous, que ferons-nous? Il leur dit: N'usez point de violence ni de tromperie envers personne, mais contentez-vous de votre paie.
15Et comme le peuple était dans l'attente, et que tous pensaient en eux-mêmes si Jean ne serait point le Christ;
16Jean prit la parole et leur dit à tous: Pour moi, je vous baptise d'eau; mais il en vient un autre qui est plus puissant que moi; et je ne suis pas digne de délier la courroie de ses souliers; c'est lui qui vous baptisera du Saint-Esprit et de feu.
17Il a son van dans ses mains, il nettoiera parfaitement son aire, et il amassera le froment dans son grenier; mais il brûlera entièrement la balle, au feu qui ne s'éteint point.
18Il adressait encore plusieurs autres exhortations au peuple, en lui annonçant l'Evangile.
19Mais Hérode le tétrarque, ayant été repris par Jean, au sujet d'Hérodias, femme de Philippe son frère, et de toutes les méchantes actions qu'il avait faites,
20Ajouta encore à toutes les autres celle de faire mettre Jean en prison.
21Or, comme tout le peuple se faisait baptiser, Jésus fut aussi baptisé; et pendant qu'il priait, le ciel s'ouvrit,
22Et le Saint-Esprit descendit sur lui sous une forme corporelle, comme une colombe; et il vint une voix du ciel, qui dit: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j'ai mis toute mon affection.
23Et Jésus était alors âgé d'environ trente ans, et il était, comme on le croyait, fils de Joseph, fils d'Héli,
24Fils de Matthat, fils de Lévi, fils de Melchi, fils de Janna, fils de Joseph,
25Fils de Matthathie, fils d'Amos, fils de Nahun, fils d'Héli, fils de Naggé,
26Fils de Maath, fils de Matthathie, fils de Semeï, fils de Joseph, fils de Juda,
27Fils de Johanna, fils de Rhésa, fils de Zorobabel, fils de Salathiel, fils de Néri,
28Fils de Melchi, fils d'Addi, fils de Cosam, fils d'Elmodam, fils de Her,
29Fils de José, fils d'Eliézer, fils de Jorim, fils de Matthat, fils de Lévi,
30Fils de Siméon, fils de Juda, fils de Joseph, fils de Jonan, fils d'Eliakim,
31Fils de Méléa, fils de Maïnan, fils de Matthata, fils de Nathan, fils de David,
32Fils de Jessé, fils d'Obed, fils de Booz, fils de Salomon, fils de Naasson,
33Fils d'Aminadab, fils d'Aram, fils d'Esrom, fils de Pharez, fils de Juda,
34Fils de Jacob, fils d'Isaac, fils d'Abraham, fils de Tharé, fils de Nachor,
35Fils de Sarug, fils de Ragaü, fils Phaleg, fils de Héber, fils de Sala,
36Fils de Caïnan, fils d'Arphaxad, fils de Sem, fils de Noé, fils de Lamech,
37Fils de Mathusala, fils d'Hénoc, fils de Jared, fils de Malaléel, fils de Caïnan,
38Fils d'Enos, fils de Seth, fils d'Adam, qui fut créé de Dieu.

His Baptism and Temptation
1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cæsar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judæa, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituræa and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 4as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying,
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
Make his paths straight.
5Every valley shall be filled,
And every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
And the crooked shall be made straight,
And the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 9And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 11He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 12Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 13And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 14And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 17whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 18And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 20added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
The Baptism of Jesus
21Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
