Πολλά Many μέν indeed οὖν therefore καί other ἕτερα things παρακαλῶν exhorting, εὐηγγελίζετο he was preaching the good news to τόν the λαόν. people. ὁ - δέ And Ἡρῴδης Herod ὁ the τετραάρχης, tetrarch, ἐλεγχόμενος being reproved ὑπ ̓ by αὐτοῦ him περί concerning Ἡρῳδιάδος Herodias, τῆς the γυναικός wife τοῦ of the ἀδελφοῦ brother αὐτοῦ of him, καί and περί concerning πάντων all ὧν that ἐποίησεν had done πονηρῶν [the] evils ὁ - Ἡρῴδης, Herod, προσέθηκεν added καί yet τοῦτο this ἐπί to πᾶσιν all: καί Also κατέκλεισεν he locked up τόν - Ἰωάννην John ἐν in φυλακῇ. prison.

Ἐγένετο It came to pass δέ now ἐν in τῷ - βαπτισθῆναι having been baptized ἅπαντα all τόν the λαόν people, καί and Ἰησοῦ Jesus βαπτισθέντος having been baptized, καί and προσευχομένου having prayed, ἀνεῳχθῆναι was opened τόν the οὐρανόν heaven, καί and καταβῆναι descended τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit τό - Ἅγιον Holy σωματικῷ in a bodily εἴδει form ὡς as περιστεράν a dove ἐπ ̓ upon αὐτόν, Him, καί and φωνήν a voice ἐκ out of οὐρανοῦ heaven γενέσθαι· came: Σύ You εἶ are ὁ the Υἱός Son μου of Me, ὁ the ἀγαπητός, beloved; ἐν in σοί You εὐδόκησα.
