Do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.⁹Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” ¹⁰And the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”¹¹In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.”¹²Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?”¹³He said to them, “Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you.”¹⁴Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.”
