Listen to Lucas 3:7

Lucas 3:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 3:7

Then said he to the multitude
That is, John, as the Ethiopic version reads; and the multitude to whom he spake the following words, were many of the Pharisees and Sadducees, as appears from ( Matthew 3:7 )

That came forth to be baptized of him;
who came out of their houses, towns, and cities, round about, to the place where John was; and hearing and seeing what he was about, desired to be admitted to his baptism: not that they "were baptised of him"; as the Arabic version renders it; but they came with a view of being baptized, were it thought fit and proper they should: but John refused them, saying to them,

O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to
come?
(See Gill on Matthew 3:7).

6 e toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
7 João dizia, pois, �s multidões que saíam para ser batizadas por ele: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensina a fugir da ira vindoura?
8 Produzi, pois, frutos dignos de arrependimento; e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos por pai a Abrão; porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode suscitar filhos a Abrão.
9 Também já está posto o machado � raiz das árvores; toda árvore, pois, que não produz bom fruto, é cortada e lançada no fogo.
