Luke 3:10–18

¹⁰And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “^aThen what should we do?”

¹¹And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two ¹tunics is to ^ashare with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.”

¹²And ^atax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?”

¹³And he said to them, “¹Collect no more than what you have been ordered to.”

¹⁴And soldiers were also questioning him, saying, “What should we also do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or ^aextort anyone, and ^bbe content with your wages.”

¹⁵Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, ^aas to whether he was the ¹Christ,

^16aJohn answered, saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the strap of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

¹⁷“His ^awinnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with ^bunquenchable fire.”

¹⁸So with many other exhortations he proclaimed the gospel to the people.
