1So like, in the 15th year of Tiberius' reign, Pilate’s the boss in Judea, Herod’s running Galilee, and his bro Philip’s got Iturea and Trachonitis on lock, plus Lysanias is holding it down in Abilene.

2Annas and Caiaphas are the high priests, and then God hits up John, Zacharias' kid, out in the wild.

3He’s out here in all the Jordan vibes, preaching repentance and getting people dunked for their sins, no cap.

4Just like Esaias the prophet said, "There's a voice in the wild, get ready for the Lord and make those paths lit."

5Every valley’s about to be filled, mountains and hills are getting lowkey leveled; the crooked paths are gonna be straightened out, and the rough spots will be smooth, fr.

6And all the peeps are gonna see God’s salvation, periodt.

7He said to the crowd rolling up to get baptized, "Yo, vipers, who told you to bounce from the coming wrath?"

8Show me some real fruits of repentance and don’t flex like you’re good just because Abraham’s your dad; God can make kids from these rocks, bet.

9And now, the axe is ready at the tree roots: if you’re not dropping good fruit, you’re getting chopped and tossed in the fire, no cap.

10The people were like, "So what do we do then?"

11He was like, "If you got two coats, share the vibe with someone who’s cold. If you got food, do the same, no cap."

12Then the tax collectors pulled up to get baptized and were like, "Yo, Master, what’s the move?"

13He replied, "Just don’t be sus and take more than what’s fair."

14The soldiers asked him too, "What’s our deal?" He said, "Don’t be violent or lie on anyone; just be chill with your pay."

15The crowd was vibing, wondering if John was the real deal or not.

16John was like, "I’m just baptizing you with water, but someone way more goated is coming; I’m not even worthy to tie his kicks. He’ll baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

17He’s got a fan in his hand, and he’s gonna clean house, gathering the good stuff and burning the trash with fire that won’t quit.

18He dropped a bunch of other wisdom while preaching to the people too.

19But Herod was feeling the heat from him for marrying his brother’s wife and all the shady stuff he did.

20On top of that, he threw John in the clink.

21So everyone got baptized, and then Jesus pulled up to get baptized too, while praying, and boom, heaven opened up.

22The Holy Spirit swooped down looking like a dove, and a voice from heaven was like, "You my favorite Son; I'm vibin’ with you."

23Jesus was around thirty, and people thought he was Joseph's kid, which is kinda sus, but it’s all good.

24Joseph's fam tree goes like this: Heli, then Matthat, then Levi, then Melchi, then Janna, then Joseph.

25Next up in the fam was Mattathias, then Amos, then Naum, then Esli, then Nagge, all keeping it lit.

26Then you got Maath, back to Mattathias, Semei, Joseph, and finally Juda, all part of the legacy, fr.

27Joanna, Rhesa, Zorobabel, Salathiel, and Neri are all in the mix too, keeping the rizz alive.

28Melchi, Addi, Cosam, Elmodam, and Er follow up, just stacking the family tree, you feel?

29Jose, Eliezer, Jorim, Matthat, and Levi are next, all part of the squad, no cap.

30Last but not least, we got Simeon, Juda, Joseph, Jonan, and Eliakim, keeping it all connected, periodt.

31This dude was the son of Melea, who was the son of Menan, who was the son of Mattatha, who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David, no cap.

32This guy was the son of Jesse, who was the son of Obed, who was the son of Booz, who was the son of Salmon, who was the son of Naasson, fr.

33This homie was the son of Aminadab, who was the son of Aram, who was the son of Esrom, who was the son of Phares, who was the son of Juda, lit.

34This one was the son of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who was the son of Thara, who was the son of Nachor, periodt.

35This dude was the son of Saruch, who was the son of Ragau, who was the son of Phalec, who was the son of Heber, who was the son of Sala, bussin.

36This guy was the son of Cainan, who was the son of Arphaxad, who was the son of Sem, who was the son of Noe, who was the son of Lamech, vibes.

37This homie was the son of Mathusala, who was the son of Enoch, who was the son of Jared, who was the son of Maleleel, who was the son of Cainan, goated.

38This one was the son of Enos, who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God, straight up.

1Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

2Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

3And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

4As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

5Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

6And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

7Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

9And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

10And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

11He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

12Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?

13And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

14And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

15And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

16John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

17Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

18And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.

19But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

20Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

21Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

23And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

24Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,

30Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
