Context: Luke 3
8Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
About Luke 3: The Ministry of John the Baptist
John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus, who begins His ministry with a baptism and the descent of the Holy Spirit.
Commentary
Luke 3 is a chapter that focuses on the ministry of John the Baptist. It begins with a description of the political and religious context of the time, with the Roman Emperor Tiberius ruling and the high priest being Annas and Caiaphas. This sets the stage for the ministry of John the Baptist, who is described as a prophet of the Most High God. He preaches a message of repentance and baptism, and his message is so powerful that people from all over Judea and Jerusalem come to hear him.
