Luke 3:1-4:13 Summary

Elizabeth’s son, John, proclaimed good news by criticizing the powerful, teaching the people, and baptizing the repentant near the Jordan River. One day Jesus came to be baptized by John, and a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved son.” Jesus was known as the son of Joseph, a descendant of David, of Abraham, of Adam, and of God (3). After the baptism, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness where he was tempted by Satan for forty days (4).
