The multitudes, the tax collectors and the soldiers ask John what they must do

무리와 세리와 군병이 요한에게 무엇을 하리이까 물음

Luke 3:7–14: John says to the multitudes who go out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance, and don’t begin to say among yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father;’ for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones! Even now the ax also lies at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” The multitudes ask him, “What then must we do?” He answers that he who has two coats should give to him who has none, and he who has food should do likewise. Tax collectors also come to be baptized and ask, “Teacher, what must we do?”, and he tells them to collect no more than that which is appointed to them. Soldiers also ask, “What about us? What must we do?”, and he tells them to extort from no one by violence, neither accuse anyone wrongfully, and be content with their wages.
