John the Baptist Prepares the Way

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, aPontius 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 aAnnas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to bJohn the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.  
3 aAnd he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance bfor the remission of sins,  
4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:
a“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 aall flesh shall see the salvation of God.’ ”  

John Preaches to the People

7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, a“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  
8 Therefore bear fruits aworthy of repentance, and do not begin 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.
