Luke 3:10–18

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or ^aaccuse anyone falsely, and ^bbe content with your wages.”

¹⁵Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were ¹wondering in their hearts about John, ^aas to whether he was ²the Christ,

^16aJohn answered and said 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 thong of His sandals; He will baptize you ¹with 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 preached the gospel to the people.
