Luc 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).

Luc 3:7 In-Context

5 Toute vallée sera comblée, et toute montagne et toute colline sera abaissée, les chemins tortueux seront redressés, et les chemins raboteux seront aplanis;
6 Et toute chair verra le salut de Dieu.
7 Il disait donc au peuple qui venait pour être baptisé par lui: Race de vipères, qui vous a appris à fuir la colère à venir?
8 Produisez donc des fruits convenables à la repentance; et ne vous mettez point à dire en vous-mêmes: Nous avons Abraham pour père; car je vous dis que Dieu peut faire naître de ces pierres des enfants à Abraham.
9 Or, la cognée est déjà mise à la racine des arbres. Tout arbre donc qui ne produit pas de bon fruit va être coupé et jeté au feu.
