Luke 3:10–18

¹⁰And the crowds asked him, ^j“What then shall we do?” ¹¹And he answered them, ^k“Whoever has two tunics² is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” ^12lTax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, ^jwhat shall we do?” ¹³And he said to them, ^m“Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” ¹⁴Soldiers also asked him, “And we, ^jwhat shall we do?” And he said to them, ^m“Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your ⁿwages.”

¹⁵As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, ^owhether he might be ^pthe Christ, ^16qJohn answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but ^rhe who is mightier than I is coming, ^sthe strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you ^twith the Holy Spirit and ^ufire. ¹⁷His ^vwinnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to ^wgather the wheat into his barn, ^xbut the chaff he will burn with ^yunquenchable fire.”

¹⁸So ^zwith many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.
