7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, a“Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from bthe wrath to come?
8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,
9 and do not think to say to yourselves, a‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. aTherefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
11 aI indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. bHe will baptize you with the Holy Spirit1 and fire.
