<h3>John the Baptist Preaches</h3>3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:<poetry>“ <smallCap>The voice of one calling</smallCap> <smallCap>out in the wilderness</smallCap>, ‘<smallCap>Prepare the way of the Lord</smallCap>, <smallCap>Make His paths straight</smallCap>! 5 <poetry> <smallCap>Every ravine will be filled</smallCap>, <smallCap>And every mountain and hill will be lowered</smallCap>; <smallCap>The crooked will become straight</smallCap>, <smallCap>And the rough roads smooth</smallCap>; </poetry> 6 <poetry> <smallCap>And all</smallCap> <smallCap>flesh will</smallCap> <smallCap>see the salvation of God</smallCap>!’”</poetry> 7 So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “ You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and do not start saying to yourselves, ‘ We have Abraham as our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham. 9 But indeed the axe is already being laid at the root of the trees; so every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” 10 And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “ Then what are we to do?” 11 And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two tunics is to share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.” 12 Now even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what are we to do?” 13 And he said to them, “ Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14 And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone, nor harass anyone, and be content with your wages.” 15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John, whether he himself perhaps was the Christ, 16 John responded to them all, saying, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” 18 So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people. 19 But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him regarding Herodias, his brother’s wife, and regarding all the evil things which Herod had done, 20 Herod also added this to them all: he locked John up in prison. <h3>Jesus Is Baptized</h3> 21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: “ You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased.” <h3>Genealogy of Jesus</h3> 23 When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years old, being, as was commonly held, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Hesli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32 the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Heber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Luke 3:1

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when <cr>1</cr>Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and <cr>2</cr>Herod was tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,

in the high priesthood of <cr>1</cr>Annas and <cr>2</cr>Caiaphas, <cr>3</cr>the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.

Luke 3:2

And he came into all <cr>1</cr>the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance <ft>1</ft>for the forgiveness of sins;

Luke 3:3

as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:<pb/><poetry>“<cr>1</cr><smallCap>The voice of one calling</smallCap><ft>1</ft><smallCap>out in the wilderness</smallCap>, ‘<smallCap>Prepare the way of the Lord</smallCap>, <smallCap>Make His paths straight</smallCap>!

Luke 3:4

<cr>1</cr><smallCap>Every ravine will be filled</smallCap>, <smallCap>And every mountain and hill will be lowered</smallCap>; <smallCap>The crooked will become straight</smallCap>, <smallCap>And the rough roads smooth</smallCap>;

Luke 3:5

<cr>1</cr><smallCap>And all</smallCap><ft>1</ft><smallCap>flesh will</smallCap><cr>2</cr><smallCap>see the salvation of God</smallCap>!’”

Luke 3:6

So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “<cr>1</cr>You <ft>1</ft>offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Luke 3:7

Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and <cr>1</cr>do not start saying <ft>1</ft>to yourselves, ‘<cr>2</cr>We have Abraham as our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham.

Luke 3:8

But indeed the axe is already being laid at the root of the trees; so <cr>1</cr>every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

Luke 3:9

And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “<cr>1</cr>Then what are we to do?”

Luke 3:10

And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two <ft>1</ft>tunics is to <cr>1</cr>share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.”

Luke 3:11

Now even <cr>1</cr>tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what are we to do?”

Luke 3:12

And he said to them, “<ft>1</ft>Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.”

Luke 3:13

And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone, nor <ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr>harass anyone, and <cr>2</cr>be content with your wages.”

Luke 3:14

Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John, <cr>1</cr>whether he himself perhaps was the <ft>1</ft>Christ,

Luke 3:15

<cr>1</cr>John responded to them all, saying, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you <ft>1</ft>with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Luke 3:16

His <cr>1</cr>winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with <cr>2</cr>unquenchable fire.”

Luke 3:17

So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people.

Luke 3:18

But when <cr>1</cr>Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him regarding <cr>2</cr>Herodias, his brother’s wife, and regarding all the evil things which <cr>3</cr>Herod had done,

Luke 3:19

Herod also added this to them all: <cr>1</cr>he locked John up in prison.

Luke 3:20

Luke 3:21

<cr>1</cr>Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while He was <cr>2</cr>praying, heaven was opened,

and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: “<cr>1</cr>You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased.”

 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when  Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and  Herod was tetrarch of Galilee and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, 2 in the high priesthood of  Annas and  Caiaphas,  the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness. 3 And he came into all  the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance  for the forgiveness of sins; 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “ The voice of one calling out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!  5  Every ravine will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be lowered; The crooked will become straight, And the rough roads smooth;  6  And all flesh will see the salvation of God!’” 7 So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “ You  offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and  do not start saying  to yourselves, ‘ We have Abraham as our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham. 9 But indeed the axe is already being laid at the root of the trees; so  every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” 10 And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “ Then what are we to do?” 11 And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two  tunics is to  share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.” 12 Now even  tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what are we to do?” 13 And he said to them, “ Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14 And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone, nor   harass anyone, and  be content with your wages.” 15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John,  whether he himself perhaps was the  Christ, 16  John responded to them all, saying, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you  with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His  winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with  unquenchable fire.” 18 So with many other exhortations he preached the gospel to the people. 19 But when  Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him regarding  Herodias, his brother’s wife, and regarding all the evil things which  Herod had done, 20 Herod also added this to them all:  he locked John up in prison. 21  Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while He was  praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: “ You are My beloved Son, in You I am well pleased.” 23  When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years old, being, as was commonly held, the son of  Joseph,  the son of  Eli, 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph, 25 the son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of  Hesli, the son of Naggai, 26 the son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda, 27 the son of Joanan, the son of Rhesa,  the son of Zerubbabel, the son of  Shealtiel, the son of Neri, 28 the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er, 29 the son of  Joshua, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, 30 the son of Simeon, the son of  Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim, 31 the son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David, 32  the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of  Salmon, the son of  Nahshon, 33 the son of Amminadab, the son of Admin, the son of  Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, 34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac,  the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, 35 the son of Serug, the son of  Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of  Heber, the son of Shelah, 36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem,  the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, 37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, 38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
