Luke 3:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³ He told them, “Stop collecting more money than the amount you are told to collect.”

¹⁴ Even some soldiers were asking him, “And what should we do?”

He told them, “Never extort money from anyone by threats or blackmail, and be satisfied with your pay.”

¹⁵ Now the people were filled with expectation, and all of them were wondering if John was perhaps the Messiah.^[a]
