Luke 3:14-16

New Century Version

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.

¹⁶ John answered everyone, “I baptize you with water, but there is one coming who is greater than I am. I am not good enough to untie his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
