Luke 3:2-16

2in the highG749 priesthood of AnnasG452 and CaiaphasG2533, [the] word of 1GodG2316 cameG1096 upon JohnG2491, the sonG5207 of Zacharias, in the wildernessG2048.

3And he cameG2064 into all the district round the JordanG2446, preachingG2784 [the] baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 for [the] remission of sinsG266,

4as it is writtenG1125 in [the] bookG976 of [the] wordsG3056 of Esaias the prophetG4396: VoiceG5456 of oneG3588 cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048: PrepareG2090 ye the wayG3598 of [the] LordG2962, makeG4160 straightG2117 his pathsG5147.

5Every gorge shall beG1510 filledG4137 up, and every mountainG3735 and hillG3735 shall beG1510 brought lowG5013, and the crookedG4646 [places] shall become a straightG2117 [pathG3598], and the rough places smooth waysG3598,

6and all fleshG4561 shall seeG3708 the salvation of 2GodG2316.

7He saidG3004 thereforeG3767 to the crowdsG3793 which wentG1607 out to be baptised by him, OffspringG1081 of vipersG2191, who has forewarned you to fleeG5343 from the comingG1607 wrathG3709?

8ProduceG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341; and beginG757 not to sayG3004 in yourselves, We have AbrahamG11 for [our] fatherG3962, for I sayG3004 unto you that 3GodG2316 is ableG1410 of these stonesG3037 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to AbrahamG11.

9And alreadyG2235 alsoG2532 the axe is applied to the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; every treeG1186 thereforeG3767 not producingG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and castG906 into [the] fireG4442.

10And the crowdsG3793 askedG1905 him sayingG3004, What should we do then?

11And he answeringG611 saysG3004 to them, He that has twoG1417 body-coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has foodG1033, let him do likewiseG3668.

12And tax-gatherers cameG2064 alsoG2532 to be baptised, and they saidG3004 to him, TeacherG1320, what should we do?

13And he saidG3004 to them, Take no moreG4183 [money] than what is appointed to you.

14And persons engaged in military service alsoG2532 askedG1905 him sayingG3004, And we, what should we do? And he saidG3004 to them, Oppress no oneG3367, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay.

15But as the peopleG2992 wereG1510 in expectation, and all wereG1510 reasoningG1260 in their heartsG2588 concerningG4012 JohnG2491 whether he might beG1510 the ChristG5547,

16JohnG2491 answeredG611 all, sayingG3004, I indeed baptise you with waterG5204, but the mightierG2478 than I isG1510 comingG2064, the thong of whose sandalsG5266 I amG1510 not fitG2425 to unloose; he shall baptise you with [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 and fireG4442;
