Luke 3:10-16

10And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “1Then what are we to do?” 11And he would answer and say to them, “The one who has two 2tunics is to 3share with the one who has none; and the one who has food is to do likewise.” 12Now even 4tax collectors came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what are we to do?” 13And he said to them, “5Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.” 14And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, “What are we to do, we as well?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone, nor 67harass anyone, and 8be content with your wages.”

15Now while the people were in a state of expectation and they all were thinking carefully in their hearts about John, 9whether he himself perhaps was the 10Christ, 1611John responded to them all, saying, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but He is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the straps of His sandals; He will baptize you 12with the Holy Spirit and fire.
