Luke 3:2-16

2in the high-priesthood of AnnasG452 and CaiaphasG2533, the word of GodG2316 cameG1096 unto JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of Zacharias in the wildernessG2048. 3And he cameG2064 into all the regionG4066 round about the JordanG2446, preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 unto remission of sinsG266; 4as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396,

7He saidG3004 thereforeG3767 to the multitudesG3793 that wentG1607 out to be baptizedG907 of him, Ye offspringG1081 of vipersG2191, who warned you to fleeG5343 from the wrathG3709 to comeG3195? 8Bring forth thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341, and beginG757 not to sayG3004 within yourselves, We have AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: for I sayG3004 unto you, that GodG2316 is ableG1410 of these stonesG3037 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11. 9And evenG2532 nowG1161 the axe alsoG2532 lieth at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: every treeG1186 thereforeG3767 that bringeth not forth goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, and castG906 into the fireG4442. 10And the multitudesG3793 askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, What then must we do? 11And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, He that hath twoG1417 coats, let him impartG3330 to him that hath none; and he that hath foodG1033, let him do likewiseG3668. 12And there cameG2064 alsoG2532 publicans to be baptizedG907, and they saidG3004 unto him, TeacherG1320, what must we do? 13And he saidG3004 unto them, Extort no moreG4183 than that which is appointed you. 14And soldiersG4754 alsoG2532 askedG1905 him, sayingG3004, And we, what must we do? And he saidG3004 unto them, Extort from no man by violence, neither accuse any oneG3367 wrongfully; and be contentG714 with your wages.

15And as the peopleG2992 wereG1510 in expectation, and all men reasonedG1260 in their heartsG2588 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, whether haply he wereG1510 the ChristG5547; 16JohnG2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 unto them all, I indeed baptizeG907 you with waterG5204; but there cometh he that isG1510 mightierG2478 than I, the latchet of whose shoes I amG1510 not worthyG2425 to unloose: he shall baptizeG907 you in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and in fireG4442:
