9But indeedG2532 the axeG513 is alreadyG2235 being laidG2749 at the rootG4491 of the treesG1186; soG3767 1everyG3956 treeG1186 that does not bearG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is cutG1581 downG1581 and thrownG906 into the fireG4442.”

10And the crowdsG3793 were questioningG1905 him, sayingG3004, “2ThenG3767 whatG5101 are we to doG4160?” 11And he would answerG611 and sayG3004 to them, “The one who hasG2192 twoG1417 3tunicsG5509 is to 4shareG3330 with the one who hasG2192 noneG3361; and the one who hasG2192 foodG1033 is to doG4160 likewiseG3668.” 12NowG1161 evenG2532 5taxG5057 collectorsG5057 cameG2064 to be baptizedG907, and they saidG3004 to him, “TeacherG1320, whatG5101 are we to doG4160?” 13And he saidG3004 to them, “6CollectG4238 noG3367 moreG4183 thanG3844 what you have been orderedG1299 to.” 14And soldiersG4754 alsoG2532 were questioningG1905 him, sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 are we to doG4160, we asG2532 wellG2532?” And he saidG3004 to them, “Do not extortG1286 moneyG1286 from anyoneG3367, norG3366 78harassG4811 anyone, and 9be contentG714 with your wagesG3800.”
