PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 U petnaestoj godini vladanja ćesara Tiverija, kad beše Pontije Pilat sudija u Judeji, i Irod četvorovlasnik u Galileji, a Filip brat njegov četvorovlasnik u Itureji i u trahonitskoj, i Lisanija četvorovlasnik u Avilini,
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 his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
1 Ἐν ἔτει δὲ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τῆς ἡγεμονίας Τιβερίου Καίσαρος, ἡγεμονεύοντος Ποντίου Πιλάτου τῆς Ἰουδαίας, καὶ τετραρχοῦντος τῆς Γαλιλαίας Ἡρῴδου, Φιλίππου δὲ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ τετραρχοῦντος τῆς Ἰτουραίας καὶ Τραχωνίτιδος χώρας, καὶ Λυσανίου τῆς Ἀβιληνῆς τετραρχοῦντος,
2 za poglavara svešteničkih Ane i Kajafe, reče Bog Jovanu sinu Zarijinom u pustinji,
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
2 ἐπ᾽ ἀρχιερέως Ἄννα καὶ Καϊάφα, ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Θεοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν Ζαχαρίου υἱὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
3 i dođe u svu okolinu jordansku propovedajući krštenje pokajanja za oproštenje greha;
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
3 καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν,
4 kao što je napisano u knjizi reči proroka Isaije koji govori: Glas onog što viče u pustinji: Pripravite put Gospodnji; poravnite staze Njegove;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4 ὡς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ λόγων Ἡσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ·
5 Sve doline neka se ispune, i sve gore i bregovi neka se slegnu; i šta je krivo neka bude pravo, i hrapavi putevi neka budu glatki;
5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
5 πᾶσα φάραγξ πληρωθήσεται καὶ πᾶν ὄρος καὶ βουνὸς ταπεινωθήσεται, καὶ ἔσται τὰ σκολιὰ εἰς εὐθεῖαν καὶ αἱ τραχεῖαι εἰς ὁδοὺς λείας,
6 I svako će telo videti spasenje Božije.
6 All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
6 καὶ ὄψεται πᾶσα σὰρξ τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
7 Jovan, pak, govoraše ljudima koji izlažahu da ih krsti: Porodi aspidini! Ko vam kaza da bežite od gneva koji ide?
7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
7 Ἔλεγεν οὖν τοῖς ἐκπορευομένοις ὄχλοις βαπτισθῆναι ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ· γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς;
8 Rodite dakle rodove dostojne pokajanja, i ne govorite u sebi: Oca imamo Avraama; jer vam kažem da Bog može i od ovog kamenja podignuti decu Avraamu.
8 Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!
8 ποιήσατε οὖν καρποὺς ἀξίους τῆς μετανοίας, καὶ μὴ ἄρξησθε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς, πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ· λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι δύναται ὁ Θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ.
9 Jer već i sekira stoji drvetu kod korena; i svako drvo koje dobar rod ne rađa seče se i u oganj se baca.
9 Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
9 ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται.
10 I pitahu ga ljudi govoreći: Šta ćemo dakle činiti?
10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
10 Καὶ ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ ὄχλοι λέγοντες· τί οὖν ποιήσομεν;
11 On pak odgovarajući reče im: Koji ima dve haljine neka da jednu onome koji nema; i ko ima hrane neka čini tako.
11 He answered them, “He who has two coats, let him give to him who has none. He who has food, let him do likewise.”
11 ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ λέγει αὐτοῖς· ὁ ἔχων δύο χιτῶνας μεταδότω τῷ μὴ ἔχοντι, καὶ ὁ ἔχων βρώματα ὁμοίως ποιείτω.
12 Dođoše pak i carinici da ih krsti, i rekoše mu: Učitelju! Šta ćemo činiti?
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
12 ἦλθον δὲ καὶ τελῶναι βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν· διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσομεν;
13 A on im reče: Ne tražite više nego što vam je rečeno.
13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
13 ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μηδὲν πλέον παρὰ τὸ διατεταγμένον ὑμῖν πράσσετε.
14 Pitahu ga pak i vojnici govoreći: A mi šta ćemo činiti? I reče im: Nikome da ne činite sile niti koga da opadate, i budite zadovoljni svojom platom.
14 Soldiers 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.”
14 ἐπηρώτων δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ στρατευόμενοι λέγοντες· καὶ ἡμεῖς τί ποιήσομεν; καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· μηδένα συκοφαντήσητε μηδὲ διασείσητε, καὶ ἀρκεῖσθε τοῖς ὀψωνίοις ὑμῶν.
15 A kad narod beše u sumnji i pomišljahu svi u srcima svojim za Jovana: Da nije on Hristos?
15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
15 Προσδοκῶντος δὲ τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ διαλογιζομένων πάντων ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν περὶ τοῦ Ἰωάννου, μήποτε αὐτὸς εἴη ὁ Χριστός,
16 Odgovaraše Jovan svima govoreći: Ja vas krstim vodom; ali ide za mnom jači od mene, kome ja nisam dostojan odrešiti remen na obući Njegovoj; On će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem.
16 John 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 the Holy Spirit and fire.
16 ἀπεκρίνατο ὁ Ἰωάννης ἅπασι λέγων· ἐγὼ μὲν ὕδατι βαπτίζω ὑμᾶς· ἔρχεται δὲ ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ· αὐτὸς ὑμᾶς βαπτίσει ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ καὶ πυρί.
17 On ima lopatu u ruci svojoj, i očistiće gumno svoje, i skupiće pšenicu svoju, a plevu će sažeći ognjem večnim.
17 His winnowing 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.”
17 οὗ τὸ πτύον ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ διακαθαριεῖ τὴν ἅλωνα αὐτοῦ, καὶ συνάξει τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν ἀποθήκην αὐτοῦ, τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον κατακαύσει πυρὶ ἀσβέστῳ.
18 I drugo mnogo koješta javlja narodu i napominja.
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
18 πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἕτερα παρακαλῶν εὐηγγελίζετο τὸν λαόν.
19 Iroda pak četvorovlasnika koraše Jovan za Irodijadu, ženu brata njegovog, i za sva zla što učini Irod;
19 but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,
19 Ὁ δὲ Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετράρχης, ἐλεγχόμενος ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ περὶ Ἡρῳδιάδος τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ πάντων ὧν ἐποίησε πονηρῶν ὁ Ἡρῴδης,
20 i svrh svega učini i to te zatvori Jovana u tamnicu.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
20 προσέθηκε καὶ τοῦτο ἐπὶ πᾶσι καὶ κατέκλεισε τὸν Ἰωάννην ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ.
21 A kad se krsti sav narod, i Isus pošto se krsti i moljaše se Bogu, otvori se nebo,
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
21 Ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ βαπτισθῆναι ἅπαντα τὸν λαὸν καὶ Ἰησοῦ βαπτισθέντος καὶ προσευχομένου ἀνεῳχθῆναι τὸν οὐρανὸν
22 i siđe na Nj Duh Sveti u telesnom obliku kao golub, i ču se glas s neba govoreći: Ti si Sin moj ljubazni, Ti si po mojoj volji.
22 and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
22 καὶ καταβῆναι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον σωματικῷ εἴδει ὡσεὶ περιστερὰν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν, καὶ φωνὴν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ γενέσθαι λέγουσαν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.
23 I taj Isus imaše oko trideset godina kad poče; i beše, kao što se mišljaše, sin Josifa sina Ilijinog,
23 Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

They also maintain that John indicated the same thing when he said, "The fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge the floor, and will gather the wheat into His garner; but the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable." By this declaration He set forth the faculty of Horos.

  4. Quotes verse 3:11 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture III)

    Let him that hath two coats give to him that hath none: the teacher was worthy of credit, since he was also the first to practise what he taught: he was not ashamed to speak, for conscience hindered not his tongue: and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.

  5. Quotes verse 3:16 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XI–XIII)

    "For into one Spirit," it says, "we were all baptized in one body."
