In those days John the Baptist came

καὶ λέγων μετανοεῖτε

Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
τότε ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἱεροσόλυμα καὶ πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία καὶ πᾶσα ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου
Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,

he said to them,
γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀργῆς
"You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
ποιήσατε οὖν καρπὸν ἄξιον τῆς μετανοίας
[Therefore] Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.
καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ
And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,'
λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι δύναται ὁ θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ
for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees.
πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται
Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

"I baptize you with water for repentance,

οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς τὰ ὑποδήματα βαστάσαι

He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

His winnowing fork is in his hand,
