Luke 3:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Some soldiers also asked him, “What about us? What should we do?” He replied, “Do not extort money from anyone, do not falsely accuse or threaten anyone, and be satisfied with your wages.”

¹⁵ As the people began to experience a feeling of expectancy, they all wondered in their hearts whether John might be the Christ. ¹⁶ John answered, telling them all: “I baptize you with water, but there is one coming who is more powerful than I am. I am not worthy to loosen the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
