Matthew 3:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the river.

^7 (A) Many Pharisees and Sadducees also came to be baptized. But John said to them:

You bunch of snakes! Who warned you to run from the coming judgment? ⁸ Do something to show you have really given up your sins.
