Luke 3: 10 - 18
|
| 10
|
And the multitudes asked him, "What then shall we do?"
|
| 11
|
And he answered them, "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
|
| 12
|
Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"
|
| 13
|
And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you."
|
| 14
|
Soldiers
also asked him, "And we, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Rob
no one by violence or by false accusation, and be content with your
wages."
|
| 15
|
As
the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts
concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,
|
| 16
|
John
answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier
than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie;
he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
|
| 17
|
His
winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor, and to
gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with
unquenchable fire."
|
| 18
|
So, with many other exhortations, he preached good news to the people. |
