and Sadducees coming to the baptism he said to them: Offspring of vipers,

who warned you to flee from the coming wrath 8 Produce therefore
fruit worthy of repentance: 9 and think not to say among yourselves as
father we have Abraham: for I tell you that is able God out of the stones
these to raise children to Abraham 10 And already the axe at the root of
the trees is laid; therefore every tree not producing fruit good is cut
down and into the fire is cast. 11 I indeed you baptise in water to
repentance: but the one after me coming strong them I is, of whom I am
not worthy the sandals to bear: he you will baptise in the Spirit Holy
and fire: 12 of whom the fan is in the hand of him, and he will

of him into the barn, but the chaff he will consume with fire
unquenchable.
