Matthew 3:7–10
But having seen many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees coming
for his [John’s] baptism he said
to them,
“You generation of vipers! Who
warned you to flee from the
coming wrath? Therefore, do
work worthy of repentance, and
do not seem to say to
yourselves, ‘We have Father
Abraham.’ For I say to you that
God is able out of these stones
to raise children to Abraham.
Already now the ax is laid to the
root of the tree; therefore, every
tree not bearing good fruit is
being cut down and cast into the
fire.”
Mark
Luke 3:3–9
Therefore, he was saying to those
coming out of the crowd to be
baptized by him [John],
“You generation of vipers! Who
warned you to flee from the
coming wrath? Therefore, do
works worthy of repentance, and
do not begin to say to yourselves,
‘We have Father Abraham.’ For I
say to you that God is able out of
these stones to raise children to
Abraham. Already, even now, the
ax is laid to the root of the tree;
therefore, every tree not bearing
good fruit is being cut down and
cast into the fire.”
