Luke 3:3–10

³And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance ^kfor the remission of sins; ⁴as it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, ^lThe voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ⁵Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; ^6mand all flesh shall see ^mmthe salvation of God. ⁷Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and ⁿbegin not to say within yourselves, We have ⁿⁿAbraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. ⁹And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

¹⁰And the people asked him, saying, ^oWhat shall we do then?
