Luke 3:12-17 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

12. And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said unto him, Master, what must we do?

13. And he said unto them, Extort no more than that which is appointed you.

14. And soldiers also asked him, saying, And we, what must we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither exact anything wrongfully; and be content with your wages.

15. And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

16. John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

17. whose fan is in his hand, throughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.
