He wentG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 theG3588 region aroundG4066 theG3588 JordanG2446, preachingG2784 a baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266, 4asG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396:

“A voiceG5456 of one callingG994 inG1722 theG3588 wildernessG2048,‘PrepareG2090 theG3588 wayG3598 for the LordG2962,makeG4160 straightG2117 pathsG5147 for HimG846.5EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall be filled inG4137,andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 hillG1015 made lowG5013.TheG3588 crookedG4646 ways shall be madeG1510G1519 straightG2117,andG2532 theG3588 roughG5138 waysG3598 smoothG3006.6AndG2532 allG3956 humanityG4561 will seeG3708 God’sG2316 salvationG4992.’”1

7ThenG3767 John saidG2036 to theG3588 crowdsG3793 coming outG1607 to be baptizedG907 byG5259 himG846, “You broodG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 warnedG5263 youG4771 to fleeG5343 fromG575 theG3588 comingG3195 wrathG3709? 8ProduceG4160 fruitG2590, thenG3767, in keeping withG514 repentanceG3341. AndG2532 do notG3361 beginG756 to sayG3004 toG1722 yourselvesG1438, ‘We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 as our fatherG3962.’ ForG1063 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 out ofG1537 theseG3778 stonesG3037 GodG2316 canG1410 raise upG1453 childrenG5043 for AbrahamG11. 9TheG3588 axeG513 lies readyG1161G2532G2235G2749 atG4314 theG3588 rootG4491 of theG3588 treesG1186, andG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not produceG3361G4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 will be cut downG1581 andG2532 thrownG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.”
