as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.
5 Every valley will be filled and every mountain and hill will be made low; and will become the crooked into (straight *NK+o) and the rough into ways smooth;
Every valley shall be filled in, and every mountain and hill made low. The crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth.

7 He was saying therefore to the coming out crowds to be baptized by him; Offspring of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the soon coming wrath?
Then John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
8 do produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and not may begin to say in yourselves; [As] father We have Abraham. I say for to you that is able God from stones these to raise up children to Abraham.
Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
9 Already now also the ax to the root of the trees is applied; every therefore tree not producing fruit good is cut down and into [the] fire is thrown.

10 And were asking him the crowds saying; What then (shall we do? *N+kO)
The crowds asked him, “What then should we do?”
11 Answering now (he was saying *N+kO) to them; The [one] having two tunics he should impart to the [one] none having and the [one] having food likewise he should do.
John replied, “Whoever has two tunics should share with him who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.”

14 Were asking then him also those being soldiers saying; What (may do *N+kO) also we ourselves And he said (to *k) (to them; *N+kO) No one may extort nor may accuse falsely and do be content with the wages of you.
Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” “Do not take money by force or false accusation,” he said. “Be content with your wages.”
15 When were expecting then the people and wondering all in the hearts of them concerning John, whether whether he himself would be the Christ,

16 Answered saying ([to] all *N+kO) John: I myself indeed with water baptize you; comes however the [One] mightier than I, of whom not I am worthy to untie the strap of the sandals of Him. He himself you will baptize with [the] Spirit Holy and with fire,
John answered all of them: “I baptize you with water, but One more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
17 of whom the winnowing fork [is] in the hand of Him (and *k) (to scour *N+kO) the threshing floor of Him and (to gather *N+kO) the wheat into the barn of Him. But the chaff He will burn up with fire unquenchable.
His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
18 Many indeed therefore other things exhorting he was evangelising the people.
With these and many other exhortations, John proclaimed the good news to the people.
19 And Herod the tetrarch being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife (of Philip *K) of the brother of him and concerning all that did [the] evils Herod,
