Listen to Luca 3:7
7 Giovanni dunque diceva alle turbe che uscivano per esser battezzate da lui: Razza di vipere, chi v’ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire?

Luca 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).

Luca 3:7 In-Context

5 Ogni valle sarĂ  colmata ed ogni monte ed ogni colle sarĂ  abbassato; le vie tortuose saran fatte diritte e le scabre saranno appianate;
6 ed ogni carne vedrĂ  la salvezza di Dio.
7 Giovanni dunque diceva alle turbe che uscivano per esser battezzate da lui: Razza di vipere, chi v’ha mostrato a fuggir dall’ira a venire?
8 Fate dunque dei frutti degni del ravvedimento, e non vi mettete a dire in voi stessi: Noi abbiamo Abramo per padre! Perché vi dico che Iddio può da queste pietre far sorgere dei figliuoli ad Abramo.
9 E ormai è anche posta la scure alla radice degli alberi; ogni albero dunque che non fa buon frutto, vien tagliato e gittato nel fuoco.
