Luke 3:10-16

10 And the crowds were questioning him, saying, "1Then what shall we do?"
11 And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to 2share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise."
12 And some 3tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"
13 And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you have been ordered to."
14 Some 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 4accuse anyone falsely, and 5be content with your wages."
15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were wondering in their hearts about John, 6as to whether he was the Christ,
16 7John 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 with the Holy Spirit and fire.
