Luke 3:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ John said to them, “Don’t take more taxes from people than you have been ordered to take.”

¹⁴ The soldiers asked John, “What about us? What should we do?”

John said to them, “Don’t force people to give you money, and don’t lie about them. Be satisfied with the pay you get.”

¹⁵ Since the people were hoping for the Christ to come, they wondered if John might be the one.
