Verses related to Luke, 3:

St. Luke 3 presents the preaching of John the Baptist and his baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. In addition, the chapter also brings the genealogy of Jesus and his public presentation in baptism by John. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in São Luke 3:

Matthew 3:2: "repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Just as John the Baptist preached repentance for the forgiveness of sins in St. Luke 3, here Jesus also preaches the same message.

Acts 2:38: "Peter answered," Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. " The baptism of repentance preached by John the Baptist in St. Luke 3 is continued by the apostles after the death and resurrection of Jesus.

John 1:33: "I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me," He that you come to the Spirit down and remain, this is what baptizes with the Holy Spirit. " John the Baptist stated that his baptism was only with water, but that he would come after him, mentioned in St. Luke 3, would baptize with the Holy Spirit.

Colossians 1:15-16: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, for all things in heaven and earth were created in him, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or sovereignties, powers or authorities, , all things were created by him and for him. " The genealogy of Jesus presented in St. Luke 3 shows his descent of Adam and the continuation of Abraham's lineage to David.

Hebrews 7:14: "For it is evident that our Lord proceeded from Judah, tribe from which Moses never spoke, saying, There is no priest." The genealogy of Jesus in St. Luke 3 also shows his connection with the tribe of Judah, thus fulfilling the Old Testament prophecy about the Messiah is a descendant of Judah.
