Luke 3:1-6

The Ministry of John the Baptist Begins

1
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina:
2
Under the high priests Anna and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
3
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins.
4
As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
5
Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways plain.
6
And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
