10 Luke 3:3-6 - And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. 'Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough roads smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

11 Luke 3:7-9 - He therefore {began} saying to the multitudes who were going out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. And also the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

12 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

17 Luke 3:14 - And {some} soldiers were questioning him, saying, "And {what about} us, what shall we do?" And he said to them, "Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse {anyone} falsely, and be content with your wages."

18 Matt 9:13 - "But go and learn what {this} means, 'I desire compassion, and not sacrifice,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

19 John 1:19 - And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

20 John 1:19 - And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you? John 1:20 - And he confessed, and did not deny, and he confessed, "I am not the Christ."

21 John 1: And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you The Prophet?" And he answered, "No. They said then to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself? "

22 John 1:23 - He said, "I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord', {even} as Isaiah the prophet said."

' He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. And so this joy of mine has been made full. "

27 Luke 2:25a, And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon And he came in the Spirit into the temple. {and} he took [Jesus] into his arms, and blessed God, and said, "Now Lord, Thou dost let Thy bondservant depart In peace, according to Thy word; For my eyes have seen Thy salvation, Which Thou hast prepared in the presence of all peoples, A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel."

28 Luke 2: And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this {Child} is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed--and a sword will pierce even your own soul-- to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."

31 Luke 6: "Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words, and acts upon them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood rose, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. But the one who has heard, but has not acted {accordingly}, is like a man who built a house upon the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."
