Knijga O Kristu

Luka 3:1-38

Ivan Krstitelj priprema put

(Mt 3:1-12; Mk 1:2-8; Iv 1:19-28)

1Bila je petnaesta godina vladavine cara Tiberija. Poncije Pilat bio je upravitelj Judeje, Herod je vladao Galilejom, a njegov brat Filip Iturejom i Trahonitidom. Lizanije je vladao Abilenom. 2Veliki svećenici bili su Ana i Kajfa. Bog tada progovori Ivanu, sinu Zaharijinu, u pustinji. 3On zatim obiđe svu jordansku okolicu propovijedajući ljudima da se ljudi trebaju krstiti da pokažu kako su se odvratili od svojih grijeha i obratili se Bogu da im oprosti. 4Kao što je napisao prorok Izaija, Ivan je bio

“glas koji viče u pustinji:

‘Pripremite put za Gospodnji dolazak!

Poravnajte za njega staze!’

5Neka se svaka udolina popuni,

a svaka gora i brijeg neka se slegne!

Neka se iskrivljeni putovi isprave,

a neravni izglade!

6Tada će svi ljudi vidjeti Božje spasenje!”3:4-6 Izaija 40:3-5.

7Ivan je govorio mnoštvu koje se dolazilo krstiti: “Zmijska legla! Tko li vas je samo upozorio da pobjegnete Božjemu gnjevu koji stiže? 8Dokažite svojim životom i djelima da ste se odvratili od grijeha i obratili Bogu!3:8 U grčkome: Rodite dakle plodom dostojnim obraćenja Ne zavaravajte se da vam je dovoljno reći: ‘Mi smo Abrahamovi potomci!’ jer vam kažem da Bog može i od ovoga kamenja Abrahamu podignuti djecu! 9Sjekira Božjeg suda već je uzdignuta da u korijenu sasiječe stabla. Svako stablo koje ne daje dobrog roda bit će posječeno i bačeno u vatru.”

10Mnoštvo ga nato počne pitati: “Što trebamo činiti?”

11“Tko ima dvije haljine, neka podijeli s onim tko nema nijednu. A tko ima hrane, neka je podijeli s onima koji nemaju.”

12Došli su se krstiti čak i ubirači poreza3:12 Oni koji su u to doba bili omraženi u narodu zbog suradnje s okupatorskim vlastima i zbog toga što su iznuđivali novac od siromašnoga puka. i upitali: “Učitelju, što mi moramo činiti?”

13Ivan im odgovori: “Ne utjerujte više nego što vam određuje vlast.”

14“A što mi trebamo činiti?” pitali su ga vojnici.

“Ne postupajte ni s kim nasilno,” odgovori on, “ne optužujte lažno nedužne i budite zadovoljni svojom plaćom.”

15Narod je iščekivao Mesiju i svi su se u srcu pitali nije li možda Ivan taj. 16Zato im Ivan svima reče: “Ja vas krstim vodom, no dolazi netko veći od mene, toliko velik da mu ja nisam dostojan biti ni robom.3:16 U grčkome: odvezati sandale. On će vas krstiti Svetim Duhom i ognjem. 17Očistit će svoje gumno i odvojiti pljevu od pšenice; pšenicu će spremiti u svoju žitnicu, a pljevu sažeći neugasivim ognjem.” 18Mnoge je takve opomene Ivan izrekao navješćujući ljudima Radosnu vijest.

19A Heroda tetrarha Ivan je prekorio zbog toga što je živio sa ženom svojega brata, Herodijadom, te zbog brojnih drugih zlodjela 20kojima Herod zatim pridoda još i ovo: baci Ivana u tamnicu.

Isusovo krštenje

(Mt 1:1-17; 3:13-17; Mk 1:9-11; Iv 1:32-34)

21Dok je Ivan krstio sav narod, krstio se i Isus. Kad se on molio, nebesa se otvore, 22a Sveti se Duh u tjelesnome obličju goluba spusti na njega. S neba se začuje glas: “Ti si moj ljubljeni Sin! Ti si moja radost!”

New International Version

Luke 3:1-38

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

1In 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— 2during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4As 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.

5Every valley shall be filled in,

every mountain and hill made low.

The crooked roads shall become straight,

the rough ways smooth.

6And all people will see God’s salvation.’ ”3:6 Isaiah 40:3-5

7John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce 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. 9The 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.

11John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

12Even 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.

14Then 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.”

15The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. 16John answered them all, “I baptize you with3:16 Or in 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 with3:16 Or in the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His 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.” 18And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.

19But 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, 20Herod added this to them all: He locked John up in prison.

The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus

21When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
