Luke 3:2-9

2in the highG749 priesthoodG749 of 1AnnasG452 and 2CaiaphasG2533, 3the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 to JohnG2491, the sonG5207 of ZechariahG2197, in the wildernessG2048. 3And he cameG2064 into allG3956 4the regionG4066 aroundG4066 the JordanG2446, preachingG2784 a baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 5for the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266; 4as it is writtenG1125 in the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396: “6The voiceG5456 of one callingG994 7outG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘PrepareG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, MakeG4160 His pathsG5147 straightG2117!58EveryG3956 ravineG5327 will be filledG4137, And everyG3956 mountainG3735 and hillG1015 will be loweredG5013; The crookedG4646 will becomeG1510G1519 straightG2117, And the roughG5138 roadsG3598 smoothG3006;69And allG3956 10fleshG4561 will 11seeG3708 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316!’”

7SoG3767 he was sayingG3004 to the crowdsG3793 who were goingG1607 outG1607 to be baptizedG907 by him, “12You 13offspringG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 warnedG5263 you to fleeG5343 from the wrathG3709 toG3195 comeG3195? 8ThereforeG3767 produceG4160 fruitsG2590 that are consistentG514 with repentanceG3341, and 14do not startG757 sayingG3004 15to yourselvesG1438, ‘16We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 as our fatherG3962,’ for I sayG3004 to you that from theseG3778 stonesG3037 GodG2316 is ableG1410 to raiseG1453 upG1453 childrenG5043 for AbrahamG11. 9But indeedG2532 the axeG513 is alreadyG2235 being laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; soG3767 17everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.”
