Luke 3:2-9

2in the highG749 priesthoodG749 of 1AnnasG452 and 2CaiaphasG2533, 3the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 to JohnG2491, the sonG5207 of ZachariasG2197, in the wildernessG2048. 3And he cameG2064 into allG3956 4the districtG4066 aroundG4066 the JordanG2446, preachingG2784 a baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 for the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266; 4as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396, “5The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘MakeG2090 readyG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, MakeG4160 His pathsG5147 straightG2117.56EveryG3956 ravineG5327 will be filledG4137, And everyG3956 mountainG3735 and hillG1015 will be 7broughtG5013 lowG5013; The crookedG4646 will becomeG1510G1519 straightG2117, And the roughG5138 roadsG3598 smoothG3006;68And allG3956 9fleshG4561 will 10seeG3708 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316.’”

7SoG3767 he began sayingG3004 to the crowdsG3793 who were goingG1607 out to be baptizedG907 by him, “11You broodG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 warnedG5263 you to fleeG5343 from the wrathG3709 to comeG3195? 8ThereforeG3767 bearG4160 fruitsG2590 in keepingG514 with repentanceG3341, and 12do not beginG757 to sayG3004 13to yourselvesG1438, ‘14We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 for our fatherG3962,’ for I sayG3004 to you that from theseG3778 stonesG3037 GodG2316 is ableG1410 to raiseG1453 up childrenG5043 to AbrahamG11. 9IndeedG2532 the axeG513 is alreadyG2235 laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; soG3767 15everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.”
