Jesus' Lineage to Adam |
Luke 3:1-38 The Gospel According to Luke [in Smaller Chunks |
Now, [during] the 15th year of Tiberius [Caesar's rule,] Pontius Pilate [was] [the] governor of Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea.] And Herod [was] the tetrarch, [a.k.a. monarch,] of Galilee. And [Herod's] brother, Philip, [was the] [monarch] of Ituraea, & the [regions] of: Trachonitis, Lysanias, & Abilene. |
Annas & Caiaphas, [were] the high priests. The Word of God came to John, [Zachariah's] son, in the wilderness. *And [John] came into all the country [around] [the] Jordan [River,] preaching [about] the baptism of repentance, for the remission, [a.k.a. forgiveness,] of sins. |
As the words of [Isaiah,] the prophet, [are] written in the Book, saying, the voice of one crying [out] in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord. Make His paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, & every mountain & hill shall be brought low. And the crooked [places] shall be straight, & the rough [roads] shall be made smooth. |
[Isaiah 40:3-4 *The voice of him, [who] cries [out] in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord. Make straight in the desert, a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, & every mountain & hill shall be made low. And the crooked [places] shall be made straight, & the rough places [smooth.] |
*And all flesh shall see the Salvation of God. [Psalm 98:2-3 *The Lord [has] made known His Salvation. He [has] openly [shown] His righteousness in the sight of the heathen. He [has] remembered His mercy & His Truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God.] |
Then [John] said to the multitude, [who] came [out,] to be baptized [by] him, O generations of vipers, [a.k.a. poisonous snakes,] who [has] warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore, [produce] fruits worthy of repentance, & [don't] say within 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 now, the axe is also laid to the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree [that doesn't produce] good fruit is [cut] down, & cast into the fire. And the people asked [John,] saying, What shall we do then? |
[John answered] & said to them, He, [who has] 2 coats, let him [give] to him, [who] has none. And he, [who] has meat, [a.k.a. food,] let him do [the same.] Then, the publicans, [a.k.a. tax collectors,] also came to be baptized, & said to [John,] Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] what shall we do? |
And [John] said to them, [Don't charge] more than [what] is appointed [to] you. And the soldiers [also] demanded [from John,] saying, And what shall we do? and [John] said to them, Do no violence to [any] man, & neither falsely accuse any; be content with your wages. |
And the people were [hoping,] & all men [reasoned] in their hearts [about] John, whether he [was] the Christ, or not. John answered, saying to all [of] them, Indeed, I baptize you with water. But One comes, mightier than I. The [buckle,] of whose shoes, I'm not worthy to [loosen.] He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit,] & with fire. |
[John 7:39 (But He [spoke] this [about] the Spirit, [that those who] believe [in] Him, should receive. For the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit,] wasn't given yet; because Jesus [hadn't] been glorified yet.)] |
Whose fan is in His hand, & He will [thoroughly] purge His floor, & will gather the wheat into His garner, [a.k.a. storage place.] But the chaff, [a.k.a. stubble,] He will burn with unquenchable fire. And [John] preached to the people many other things in his [teaching.] |
But Herod, the [monarch,] [was scolded] by [John the Baptist, about Herod's] brother, Philip's wife, & for all the [evil that] Herod had done. [Additionally,] above all this, [Herod locked] John up in prison. |
[Mark 6:17-18 For Herod, himself, sent [out] & had John [seized,] & [chained] him in prison, [for] the sake of [Herodias,] his brother, Philip's wife. For [Herod] had married her. For John had said to Herod, It isn't lawful for you to have your brother's wife.] |
Now, when all the people were baptized, it [happened,] that Jesus, [Who] also [was] baptized, & [was] praying, & the heaven was opened. And the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit,] descended, [a.k.a. went down,] upon [Jesus,] in a bodily shape like a dove, [Who] said, You are My beloved Son. I Am well pleased in You. |
