Luke 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Then, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,	1 Εν δε τω δεκατω πεμπτω ετει της ηγεμονιας Τιβεριου Καισαρος, οτε ο Ποντιος Πιλατος ηγεμονευε της Ιουδαιας, και τετραρχης της Γαλιλαιας ητο ο Ηρωδης, Φιλιππος δε ο αδελφος αυτου τετραρχης της Ιτουραιας και της Τραχωνιτιδος χωρας, και ο Λυσανιας τετραρχης της Αβιληνης,
2 under the high priests Annas and Caiaphas: the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.	2 επι αρχιερεων Αννα και Καιαφα, εγεινε λογος Θεου προς Ιωαννην, τον υιον του Ζαχαριου, εν τη ερημω,
3 And he went into the entire region of the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,	3 και ηλθεν εις πασαν την περιχωρον του Ιορδανου, κηρυττων βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων,
4 just as it has been written in the book of the sermons of the prophet Isaiah: “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.	4 ως ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τω βιβλιω των λογων Ησαιου του προφητου, λεγοντος? Φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ετοιμασατε την οδον του Κυριου, ευθειας καμετε τας τριβους αυτου.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And what is crooked shall be made straight. And the rough paths shall be made into level ways.	5 πασα φαραγξ θελει γεμισθη και παν ορος και βουνος θελει ταπεινωθη, και τα σκολια θελουσι γεινει ευθεα και αι τραχειαι οδοι ομαλαι,
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”	6 και πασα σαρξ θελει ιδει το σωτηριον του Θεου.
7 Therefore, he said to the crowd that went out in order to be baptized by him: “You progeny of vipers! Who told you to flee from the approaching wrath?	7 Ελεγε δε προς τους οχλους τους εξερχομενους δια να βαπτισθωσιν υπ' αυτου? Γεννηματα εχιδνων, τις εδειξεν εις εσας να φυγητε απο της μελλουσης οργης;
8 So then, produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God has the power to raise up sons to Abraham from these stones.	8 Καμετε λοιπον καρπους αξιους της μετανοιας, και μη αρχισητε να λεγητε καθ' εαυτους, Πατερα εχομεν τον Αβρααμ? διοτι σας λεγω οτι δυναται ο Θεος εκ των λιθων τουτων να αναστηση τεκνα εις τον Αβρααμ.
9 For even now the axe has been placed at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire.”	9 Ηδη δε και η αξινη κειται προς την ριζαν των δενδρων? παν λοιπον δενδρον μη καμνον καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εις πυρ βαλλεται.
10 And the crowed was questioning him, saying, “What then should we do?”	10 Και ηρωτων αυτον οι οχλοι, λεγοντες? Τι λοιπον θελομεν καμει;
11 But in response, he said to them: “Whoever has two coats, let him give to those who do not have. And whoever has food, let him act similarly.”	11 Αποκριθεις δε λεγει προς αυτους. Ο εχων δυο χιτωνας ας μεταδωση εις τον μη εχοντα, και ο εχων τροφας ας καμη ομοιως.
12 Now the tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”	12 Ηλθον δε και τελωναι δια να βαπτισθωσι, και ειπον προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, τι θελομεν καμει;
13 But he said to them, “You should do nothing more than what has been appointed to you.”	13 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους? Μη εισπραττετε μηδεν περισσοτερον παρα το διατεταγμενον εις εσας.
14 Then the soldiers also questioned him, saying, “And what should we do?” And he said to them: “You should strike no one, and you should not make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”	14 Ηρωτων δε αυτον και στρατιωτικοι, λεγοντες? Και ημεις τι θελομεν καμει; Και ειπε προς αυτους? Μη βιασητε μηδενα μηδε συκοφαντησητε, και αρκεισθε εις τα σιτηρεσια σας.
15 Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.	15 Ενω δε επροσμενεν ο λαος, και διελογιζοντο παντες εν ταις καρδιαις αυτων περι του Ιωαννου, μηποτε αυτος ειναι ο Χριστος,
16 John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.	16 απεκριθη ο Ιωαννης προς παντας, λεγων? Εγω μεν σας βαπτιζω εν υδατι? ερχεται ομως ο ισχυροτερος μου, του οποιου δεν ειμαι αξιος να λυσω το λωριον των υποδηματων αυτου? αυτος θελει σας βαπτισει εν Πνευματι Αγιω και πυρι.
17 His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”	17 Του οποιου το πτυαριον ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου και θελει διακαθαρισει το αλωνιον αυτου, και θελει συναξει τον σιτον εις την αποθηκην αυτου, το δε αχυρον θελει κατακαυσει εν πυρι ασβεστω.
18 Indeed, he also proclaimed many other things, exhorting the people.	18 Και αλλα πολλα προτρεπων ευηγγελιζετο τον λαον.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was corrected by him concerning Herodias, his brother’s wife, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done,	19 Ο δε Ηρωδης ο τετραρχης, ελεγχομενος υπ' αυτου περι της Ηρωδιαδος, της γυναικος Φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου, και περι παντων των κακων οσα επραξεν ο Ηρωδης,
20 added this also, above all else: that he confined John to prison.	20 προσεθεσε και τουτο επι πασι και κατεκλεισε τον Ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη.
21 Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.	21 Αφου δε εβαπτισθη πας ο λαος, βαπτισθεντος και του Ιησου και προσευχομενου, ηνοιχθη ο ουρανος
22 And the Holy Spirit, in a corporal appearance like a dove, descended upon him. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son. In you, I am well pleased.”	22 και κατεβη το Πνευμα το Αγιον εν σωματικη μορφη ως περιστερα επ' αυτον, και εγεινε φωνη εκ του ουρανου, λεγουσα? Συ εισαι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εις σε ευηρεστηθην.
