Luke 3:10-16

10The crowds asked him, “Then what are we to do?”

11And John replied, “The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do the same.”

12Even some tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked, “Teacher, what are we to do?”

13And he told them, “Collect no more than the fixed amount you have been ordered to [collect].”

14Some soldiers asked him, “And what about us, what are we to do?” And he replied to them, “Do not extort money from anyone or harass or blackmail anyone, and be satisfied with your wages.”

15Now the people were in a state of expectation, and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).

16John answered them all by saying, “As for me, I baptize you [only] with water; but One who is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I is coming, and I am not fit to untie the strap of His sandals [even as His slave]. He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire.
