InG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 cameG3854 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910, preachingG2784 inG1722 the wildernessG2048 of JudaeaG2449,
AndG2532 sayingG3004, Repent yeG3340: forG1063 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at handG1448.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is heG2076 that was spokenG4483 of byG5259 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
AndG1161 the sameG846 JohnG2491 hadG2192 hisG846 raimentG1742 ofG575 camel'sG2574 hairG2359, andG2532 a leathernG1193 girdleG2223 aboutG4012 hisG846 loinsG3751; andG1161 hisG846 meatG5160 wasG2258 locustsG200 andG2532 wildG66 honeyG3192.
ThenG5119 went outG1607 toG4314 himG846 JerusalemG2414, andG2532 allG3956 JudaeaG2449, andG2532 allG3956 the region round aboutG4066 JordanG2446,
AndG2532 were baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846 inG1722 JordanG2446, confessingG1843 theirG846 sinsG266.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 waterG5204 untoG1519 repentanceG3341: butG1161 he that comethG2064 afterG3694 meG3450 isG2076 mightier thanG2478 IG3450, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to bearG941: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 with fireG4442:
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
ThenG5119 comethG3854 JesusG2424 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1909 JordanG2446 untoG4314 JohnG2491, to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846.
ButG1161 JohnG2491 forbadG1254 him, sayingG3004, IG1473 haveG2192 needG5532 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 theeG4675, andG2532 comestG2064 thouG4771 toG4314 meG3165?
AndG1161 JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, SufferG863 it to be so nowG737: forG1063 thusG3779 it becomethG4241+G2076 usG2254 to fulfilG4137 allG3956 righteousness.G1343 ThenG5119 he sufferedG863 himG846.
AndG2532 JesusG2424, when he was baptizedG907, went upG305 straightwayG2117 out ofG575 the waterG5204: andG2532, loG2400, the heavensG3772 were openedG455 unto himG846, andG2532 he sawG1492 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 lightingG2064 uponG1909 himG846:
AndG2532 loG2400 a voiceG5456 fromG1537 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1722 whomG3739 I am well pleasedG2106.
Querverweise zu Matthäus 3,10 Mt 3,10
Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
EveryG3956 treeG1186 that bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
ForG3754 ifG1487 they doG4160 these thingsG5023 inG1722 a greenG5200 treeG3586, whatG5101 shall be doneG1096 inG1722 the dryG3584?
Those that be plantedH8362 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 shall flourishH6524 in the courtsH2691 of our GodH430.
AndG2532 when he sawG1492 aG3391 fig treeG4808 inG1909 the wayG3598, he cameG2064 toG1909 itG846, andG2532 foundG2147 nothingG3762 thereonG1722+G846, butG1508 leavesG5444 onlyG3440, andG2532 saidG3004 unto itG846, Let noG1096 fruitG2590 growG1096 onG1537 theeG4675 henceforwardG3371 forG1519 everG165. AndG2532 presentlyG3916 the fig treeG4808 withered awayG3583. {a fig tree: Gr. one fig tree}
WhereforeG3606, holyG40 brethrenG80, partakersG3353 of the heavenlyG2032 callingG2821, considerG2657 the ApostleG652 andG2532 High PriestG749 of ourG2257 professionG3671, ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
Who wasG5607 faithfulG4103 to him that appointedG4160 himG846, asG5613 alsoG2532 MosesG3475 was faithful inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624. {appointed: Gr. made}
ForG1063 thisG3778 man was counted worthyG515 of moreG4119 gloryG1391 thanG3844 MosesG3475, inasmuch asG2596+G3745 he who hath buildedG2680 the houseG3624 hath moreG4119 honourG5092 thanG2192 the houseG846.
They shall still bring forth fruitH5107 in old ageH7872; they shall be fatH1879 and flourishingH7488; {flourishing: Heb. green}
And the vineyardH3657+H3661 which thy right handH3225 hath plantedH5193, and the branchH1121 that thou madest strongH553 for thyself.
HeG5100 that despisedG114 Moses'G3475 lawG3551 diedG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 underG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144:
Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
ForG1063 we knowG1492 him that hath saidG2036, VengeanceG1557 belongeth unto meG1698, IG1473 will recompenseG467, saithG3004 the LordG2962. AndG2532 againG3825, The LordG2962 shall judgeG2919 hisG846 peopleG2992.
It is a fearful thingG5398 to fallG1706 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
To appointH7760 unto them that mournH57 in ZionH6726, to giveH5414 unto them beautyH6287 for ashesH665, the oilH8081 of joyH8342 for mourningH60, the garmentH4594 of praiseH8416 for the spiritH7307 of heavinessH3544; that they might be calledH7121 treesH352 of righteousnessH6664, the plantingH4302 of the LORDH3068, that he might be glorifiedH6286.
It is burnedH8313 with fireH784, it is cut downH3683: they perishH6 at the rebukeH1606 of thy countenanceH6440.
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
For he shall be as a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the watersH4325, and that spreadeth outH7971 her rootsH8328 by the riverH3105, and shall not seeH7200 when heatH2527 comethH935, but her leafH5929 shall be greenH7488; and shall not be carefulH1672 in the yearH8141 of droughtH1226, neither shall ceaseH4185 from yieldingH6213 fruitH6529. {drought: or, restraint}
And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891. {fenced: or, made a wall about} {made: Heb. hewed}
And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.
What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?
And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823: {trodden…: Heb. for a treading}
And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.
For the vineyardH3754 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818. {his…: Heb. plant of his pleasures} {oppression: Heb. a scab}
EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1698 thatG846 bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 he taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.
When the boughsH7105 thereof are witheredH3001, they shall be broken offH7665: the womenH802 comeH935, and set them on fireH215: for it is a peopleH5971 of no understandingH998: therefore he that madeH6213 them will not have mercyH7355 on them, and he that formedH3335 them will shew them no favourH2603.
SonH1121 of manH120, What is the vineH1612 treeH6086 more than any treeH6086, or than a branchH2156 which is among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293?
Shall woodH6086 be takenH3947 thereof to doH6213 any workH4399? or will men takeH3947 a pinH3489 of it to hangH8518 any vesselH3627 thereon?
Behold, it is castH5414 into the fireH784 for fuelH402; the fireH784 devourethH398 bothH8147 the endsH7098 of it, and the midstH8432 of it is burnedH2787. Is it meetH6743 for any workH4399? {Is it…: Heb. Will it prosper?}
Behold, when it was wholeH8549, it was meetH6213 for no workH4399: how much less shall it be meetH6213 yet for any workH4399, when the fireH784 hath devouredH398 it, and it is burnedH2787? {meet: Heb. made fit}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As the vineH1612 treeH6086 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293, which I have givenH5414 to the fireH784 for fuelH402, so will I giveH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
And I will setH5414 my faceH6440 against them; they shall go outH3318 from one fireH784, and another fireH784 shall devourH398 them; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I setH7760 my faceH6440 against them.
He spakeG3004 alsoG1161 thisG5026 parableG3850; A certainG5100 man hadG2192 a fig treeG4808 plantedG5452 inG1722 hisG846 vineyardG290; andG2532 he cameG2064 and soughtG2212 fruitG2590 thereonG1722+G846, andG2532 foundG2147 noneG3756.
ThenG1161 said heG2036 untoG4314 the dresser of his vineyardG289, BeholdG2400, these threeG5140 yearsG2094 I comeG2064 seekingG2212 fruitG2590 onG1722 thisG5026 fig treeG4808, andG2532 findG2147 noneG3756: cutG1581 itG846 downG1581; whyG2444+G2532 cumberethG2673 itG846 the groundG1093?
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, letG863 itG846 aloneG863 thisG5124 yearG2094 alsoG2532, tillG2193+G3755 I shall digG4626 aboutG4012 itG846, andG2532 dungG906+G2874 it:
And ifG2579+G3303 it bearG4160 fruitG2590, well: and if notG1490, then after thatG1519+G3195 thou shalt cutG1581 itG846 downG1581.
IfG3362 a manG5100 abideG3306 notG3362 inG1722 meG1698, he is castG906 forthG1854 asG5613 a branchG2814, andG2532 is witheredG3583; andG2532 men gatherG4863 themG846, andG2532 castG906 them intoG1519 the fireG4442, andG2532 they are burnedG2545.
ButG1161 that which bearethG1627 thornsG173 andG2532 briersG5146 is rejectedG96, andG2532 is nighG1451 unto cursingG2671; whoseG3739 endG5056 is toG1519 be burnedG2740.
