Lucas 3:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 3:10

And the people asked him
Not the same as in ( Luke 3:7 ) the Sadducees and Pharisees, for they seemed not to be at all affected with, and wrought upon, by the ministry of John; but rather were displeased with him, and turned their backs on him, and rejected him and his baptism; but the common people, that stood by; who hearing John speak of wrath to come, and of repentance, and fruits worthy of it, were filled with concern about these things, and inquire,

saying, what shall we do?
either to escape the wrath and vengeance coming on the nation, and also eternal ruin and destruction; and Beza says, that in two of his copies, and one of them his most ancient one it is added, "to be saved", and so in two of Stephens's; which confirms the above sense, and makes their inquiry to be the same with the jailor's, ( Acts 16:30 ) or else their meaning is, what are the things we are to do, or the fruits we are to bring forth, the duties we are to perform, in order to testify the truth and genuineness of our repentance? which latter seems most agreeable.

Lucas 3:10 In-Context

8 Por tanto, dad frutos dignos de arrepentimiento; y no comencéis a deciros a vosotros mismos: "Tenemos a Abraham por padre", porque os digo que Dios puede levantar hijos a Abraham de estas piedras.

9 Y también el hacha ya está puesta a la raíz de los árboles; por tanto, todo árbol que no da buen fruto es cortado y echado al fuego.

10 Y las multitudes le preguntaban, diciendo: ¿Qué, pues, haremos?

11 Respondiendo él, les decía: El que tiene dos túnicas, comparta con el que no tiene; y el que tiene qué comer, haga lo mismo.

12 Vinieron también unos recaudadores de impuestos para ser bautizados, y le dijeron: Maestro, ¿qué haremos?
