AndG2532 he saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, Do violenceG1286 to no manG3367, neitherG3366 accuse any falselyG4811; andG2532 be contentG714 with yourG5216 wagesG3800.34

15AndG1161 as the peopleG2992 were in expectationG4328, andG2532 all menG3956 musedG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, whetherG3379 heG846 wasG1498 the ChristG5547, or notG3379;56 16JohnG2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 to them allG537, IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 in waterG5204; butG1161 one mightier thanG2478 IG3450 comethG2064, the latchetG2438 of whoseG3739G846 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to looseG3089: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 inG1722 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 andG2532 in fireG4442: 17WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will thoroughly cleanseG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 hisG846 barnG596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762. 18AndG2532G3767 manyG4183 otherG2087 thingsG4183G3303 in his exhortationG3870 he preachedG2097 to the peopleG2992. 19ButG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076, being reprovedG1651 byG5259 himG846 on account ofG4012 HerodiasG2266 hisG846 brotherG80 Philip’sG5376 wifeG1135, andG2532 forG4012 allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG2264 had doneG4160, 20AddedG4369 yetG2532 thisG5124 aboveG1909 allG3956, thatG2532 he shut upG2623 JohnG2491 inG1722 prisonG5438.
