Luke 3:10-16

10And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “1Then what shall we do?” 11And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two tunics is to 2share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.” 12And some 3tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13And he said to them, “4Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or 5accuse anyone falsely, and 6be content with your wages.”

15Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were 7wondering in their hearts about John, 8as to whether he was 9the Christ, 1610John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you 11with the Holy Spirit and fire.
