Matthew 3:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible

6 The people told God about all the wrong things that they had done. Then John baptized them in the Jordan River.[a]

7 Many Pharisees and Sadducees came to John.[b] They wanted John to baptize them. He said to them, ‘You are like dangerous snakes. God is angry. You are trying to run away from him. But he will soon punish people like you. 8 You have to show that you are sorry. Change how you live. Stop doing things that God does not like.
