in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the message of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the desert. And he went all over the Jordan valley, preaching a baptism conditioned on repentance to obtain the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the sermon-book of the prophet Isaiah: "Here is a voice of one shouting in the desert, 'Get the road ready for the Lord, make the paths straight for Him. read more.
Every ravine must be filled up, and every mountain and hill leveled down; the crooked places must become straight roads, and the rough roads must be made smooth, And all mankind must see the salvation of God.'" So he used to say to the crowds that continued to come out there to be baptized by him: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to escape from the wrath that is coming? Produce, then, fruit that is consistent with the repentance that you profess, and do not even begin to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you, God can raise up descendants for Abraham even out of these stones. Now the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Every tree, then, that fails to bear good fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire." So the crowds were asking him this question, "What then ought we to do?" He answered them, "The man who has two shirts must share with him who has none, and the man who has food must do the same." Then even the tax-collectors came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what ought we to do?" So he said to them, "Stop collecting any more than is prescribed for you." Then some soldiers too were asking him, "What ought we too to do?" So he said to them, "Never extort money from anyone, never make a false accusation, and always be satisfied with your wages."
