New King James Version
10 So the people asked him, saying, (A)“What shall we do then?”
11 He answered and said to them, (B)“He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, (C)let him do likewise.”
12 Then (D)tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”
13 And he said to them, (E)“Collect no more than what is appointed for you.”
14 Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, “And what shall we do?”
So he said to them, “Do not [a]intimidate anyone (F)or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.”
15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, 16 John answered, saying to all, (G)“I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will (H)baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
