Luke 3:2-9

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,

The voiceG5456 of oneG3588 cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048,MakeG4160 ye readyG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962,MakeG4160 his pathsG5147 straightG2117.5Every valley shall beG1510 filledG4137,And every mountainG3735 and hillG3735 shall beG1510 brought lowG5013;And the crookedG4646 shall become straightG2117,And the rough waysG3598 smooth;6And all fleshG4561 shall seeG3708 the salvation of GodG2316.

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.
