Luke 3:3-13

3 And he came in to all the coostes aboute Iordan preachynge the baptyme of repentaunce for the remission of synnes

4 at it is written in the boke of the sayinges of Esaias ye Prophet which sayeth: The voyce of a cryar in wyldernes prepare the waye of the Lorde make hys pathes strayght.

5 Every valley shalbe fylled and every moutayne and hyll shalbe brought lowe. And crocked thinges shalbe made streight: and the rough wayes shalbe made smoth:

6 and all flesshe shall se the saveour sent of God.

7 Then sayde he to the people that were come to be baptysed of him: O generacion of vipers who hath taught you to flye from the wrath to come?

8 Bringe forth due frutes of repentaunce and begynne not to saye in youre selves we have Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: God is able of these stones to reyse vp chyldren vnto Abraham.

9 Now also ys the axe leyd vnto the rote of the trees: so yt every tree which bringeth not forth good frute shalbe hewe doune and caste in to ye fyre.

10 And the people axed him sayinge: What shall we do then?

11 He answered and sayde vnto them: He that hath two coottes let him parte with him that hath none: and he that hath meate let him do lyke wyse.

12 Then came ther Publicans to be baptised and sayde vnto him: Master what shall we do?

13 And he sayde vnto the: requyre no more then that which ys appoynted vnto you.
