Awakenings and religious reforms » -hezekiah 2ch 30 » -ezra
in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness; and he came into all the region of the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance unto remission of sins; as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight His paths. read more.
Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" He was saying, therefore, to the multitudes coming forth to be immersed by him, "Broods of vipers! who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. And already the axe also is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, not producing good fruit, is cut down, and cast into the fire." And the multitudes were asking him, saying, "What, then, shall we do?" And he, answering, said to them, "Let him who has two coats share with him who has none; and let him who has food do likewise." And there came also tax-collectors to be immersed, and they said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Exact no more than that which has been appointed you." And soldiers also were questioning him, saying, "And what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do violence to no one, neither accuse any one falsely, and be content with your wages."
