Luke 3:10-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 And the crowds asked him, “What, then, should we do?”(A) 11 In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none, and whoever has food must do likewise.”(B) 12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”(C) 13 He said to them, “Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you.”(D) 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”(E)
15 As the people were filled with expectation and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah,[a](F) 16 John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water, but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire.(G) 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”(H)
18 So with many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people.

Luke 3:10-18
New International Version
10 “What should we do then?”(A) the crowd asked.
11 John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”(B)
12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized.(C) “Teacher,” they asked, “what should we do?”
13 “Don’t collect any more than you are required to,”(D) he told them.
14 Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?”
He replied, “Don’t extort money and don’t accuse people falsely(E)—be content with your pay.”
15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John(F) might possibly be the Messiah.(G) 16 John answered them all, “I baptize you with[a] water.(H) But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire.(I) 17 His winnowing fork(J) is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(K) 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.
