## Luke 3:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/luke/3/5) Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways *shall be* made smooth;
 
 [6 ](/kjv/luke/3/6) And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/luke/3/7) Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
 
 [8 ](/kjv/luke/3/8) Bring 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/luke/3/9) And 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.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/luke/3/10) And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/luke/3/11) He 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.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/luke/3/12) Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
