1En el año decimoquinto del imperio de Tiberio César, siendo Poncio Pilato gobernador de Judea, y Herodes tetrarca de Galilea, y siendo su hermano Filipo tetrarca de Iturea y de la provincia de Traconite, y Lisanias tetrarca de Abilinia,2bajo el sumo sacerdocio de Anás y Caifás, fue hecha revelación de Dios a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto.3Y fue a toda la región alrededor del Jordán proclamando el bautismo de arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados,4como está escrito en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías: Voz que clama en el desierto: Preparad el camino del Señor; Allanad sus sendas.5Todo valle será rellenado, Y todo monte y collado, Rebajado; Y las sendas tortuosas, enderezadas; Y los lugares ásperos, Caminos llanos;6Y toda carne verá la salvación de Dios.7Decía por tanto a las multitudes que salían para ser bautizadas por él: ¡Engendros de víboras! ¿Quién os mostró cómo huir de la inminente ira?8Haced pues frutos dignos del arrepentimiento, y no comencéis a decir entre vosotros mismos: A Abraham tenemos por padre; porque yo os digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras.9Y ahora mismo el hacha está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; todo árbol que no da buen fruto, es cortado y echado al fuego.10Y las multitudes le preguntaban, diciendo: ¿Qué dices pues que hagamos?11Respondiendo, les decía: El que tiene dos túnicas, dé al que no tiene; y el que tiene comida, haga lo mismo.12Y unos publicanos fueron también para ser bautizados, y le dijeron: Maestro, ¿qué dices que hagamos?13Él entonces les dijo: No cobréis más de lo que os ha sido mandado.14Le preguntaron también los soldados, diciendo: Y nosotros, ¿qué hemos de hacer? Y les dijo: A nadie atraquéis ni extorsionéis, sino contentaos con vuestra paga.15Y cuando el pueblo estaba expectante, y todos cavilaban en sus corazones acerca de Juan, si tal vez él sería el Mesías,16Juan declaró diciendo a todos: Yo en verdad os bautizo con agua, pero viene el que es más poderoso que yo, de quien no soy digno de desatar la correa de sus sandalias: Él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo y fuego.17Su aventador está en su mano para limpiar bien su era y recoger el trigo en su granero, pero quemará la paja con fuego inextinguible.18Así, con estas y otras muchas exhortaciones, proclamaba las buenas nuevas al pueblo.19Entonces Herodes el tetrarca, siendo reprendido por él a causa de Herodías, mujer de su hermano, y por todas las maldades que había hecho Herodes,20añadió a todas también esto: Encerró a Juan en la cárcel.
El bautismo
21Cuando todo el pueblo era bautizado, aconteció que también Jesús fue bautizado; y mientras oraba, fue abierto el cielo,22y descendió el Espíritu Santo sobre Él en forma corporal como paloma, y surgió una voz del cielo: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en ti hallo mi complacencia.

King James Version
1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,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.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.23And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,24Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,25Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,26Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,27Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,28Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,29Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,30Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,31Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,32Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,33Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,34Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,35Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,36Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,37Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,38Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
