WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 В пятнадцатый же год правления Тиверия кесаря, когда Понтий Пилат начальствовал в Иудее, Ирод был четвертовластником в Галилее, Филипп, брат его, четвертовластником в Итурее и Трахонитской области, а Лисаний четвертовластником в Авилинее,
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,
2 при первосвященниках Анне и Каиафе, был глагол Божий к Иоанну, сыну Захарии, в пустыне.
2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.
3 И он проходил по всей окрестной стране Иорданской, проповедуя крещение покаяния для прощения грехов,
3 He came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
4 как написано в книге слов пророка Исаии, который говорит: глас вопиющего в пустыне: приготовьте путь Господу, прямыми сделайте стези Ему;
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.
5 всякий дол да наполнится, и всякая гора и холм да понизятся, кривизны выпрямятся и неровные пути сделаются гладкими;
5 Every valley will be filled. Every mountain and hill will be brought low. The crooked will become straight, and the rough ways smooth.
6 и узрит всякая плоть спасение Божие.
6 All flesh will see God’s salvation.’”
7 Иоанн приходившему креститься от него народу говорил: порождения ехиднины! кто внушил вам бежать от будущего гнева?
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?
8 Сотворите же достойные плоды покаяния и не думайте говорить в себе: отец у нас Авраам, ибо говорю вам, что Бог может из камней сих воздвигнуть детей Аврааму.
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!
9 Уже и секира при корне дерев лежит: всякое дерево, не приносящее доброго плода, срубают и бросают в огонь.
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.”
10 И спрашивал его народ: что же нам делать?
10 The multitudes asked him, “What then must we do?”
11 Он сказал им в ответ: у кого две одежды, тот дай неимущему, и у кого есть пища, делай то же.
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.”
12 Пришли и мытари креститься, и сказали ему: учитель! что нам делать?
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what must we do?”
13 Он отвечал им: ничего не требуйте более определенного вам.
13 He said to them, “Collect no more than that which is appointed to you.”
14 Спрашивали его также и воины: а нам что делать? И сказал им: никого не обижайте, не клевещите, и довольствуйтесь своим жалованьем.
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.”
15 Когда же народ был в ожидании, и все помышляли в сердцах своих об Иоанне, не Христос ли он, —
15 As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,
16 Иоанн всем отвечал: я крещу вас водою, но идет Сильнейший меня, у Которого я недостоин развязать ремень обуви; Он будет крестить вас Духом Святым и огнем.
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.
17 Лопата Его в руке Его, и Он очистит гумно Свое и соберет пшеницу в житницу Свою, а солому сожжет огнем неугасимым.
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.”
18 Многое и другое благовествовал он народу, поучая его.
18 Then with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people,
19 Ирод же четвертовластник, обличаемый от него за Иродиаду, жену брата своего, и за все, что сделал Ирод худого,
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,
20 прибавил ко всему прочему и то, что заключил Иоанна в темницу.
20 added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Когда же крестился весь народ, и Иисус, крестившись, молился: отверзлось небо,
21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized and was praying. The sky was opened,
22 и Дух Святый нисшел на Него в телесном виде, как голубь, и был глас с небес, глаголющий: Ты Сын Мой Возлюбленный; в Тебе Мое благоволение!
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.”

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).

  1. Quotes verse 3:17 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Chapters III–IV)

    … but a sword." 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.
