Luke [White-light] 3:12-28

¹²Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”

¹³He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”

¹⁴Soldiers also asked him, saying, “What about us? What must we do?” He said to them, “Extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully. Be content with your wages.”

¹⁵As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John Yah is gracious, whether perhaps he was the Messiah Anointed one,

¹⁶John Yah is gracious answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in Ruach haKodesh Spirit of the Holiness and fire,

¹⁷whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

¹⁸Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,

¹⁹but Herod Heroic the tetrarch (one of four co-emperors), being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod Heroic had done,

²⁰added this also to them all, that he shut up John Yah is gracious in prison.

²¹Now when all the people were baptized, Yeshua Salvation also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

²²and Ruach haKodesh Spirit of the Holiness descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my agapetos ·beloved, esteemed· Son. In you I am well pleased.”

²³Yeshua Salvation himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph May he add, the son of Heli,

²⁴the son of Matthat, the son of Levi United with, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph May he add,

²⁵the son of Mattathias Gift of Yah, the son of Amos Burden bearor, the son of Nahum Comforter, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,

²⁶the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias Gift of Yah, the son of Semein, the son of Joseph May he add, the son of Judah Praised,

²⁷the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,

²⁸the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er,
