Luke 3:4-8

4as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “1The voice of one calling 2out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight!53Every ravine will be filled, And every mountain and hill will be lowered; The crooked will become straight, And the rough roads smooth;64And all 5flesh will 6see the salvation of God!’”

7So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, “7You 8offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Therefore produce fruits that are consistent with repentance, and 9do not start saying 10to yourselves, ‘11We have Abraham as our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children for Abraham.
