In context
10 Kisha watu katika makutano walimuuliza wakisema, “Sasa tunatakiwa tufanyeje?”
11 Alijibu na kuwaambia, “kama mtu ana kanzu mbili anatakiwa atoe kanzu moja kwa mwingine ambaye hana kabisa, na ambaye ana chakula na afanye vivyo hivyo.”
12 Kisha baadhi ya watoza ushuru walikuja pia kubatizwa, na wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunatakiwa kufanya nini?
13 Akawaambia, “Msikusanye fedha zaidi kuliko mnachotakiwa kukusanya.”
14 Baadhi ya maaskari pia wakamuuliza wakisema, “Na sisi je? Tunatakiwa tufanye nini?” Akawambia, “Msichukue fedha kwa mtu yeyote kwa nguvu, na msimtuhumu mtu yeyote kwa uongo. Ridhikeni na mishahara yenu.”
15 Sasa, kwa kuwa watu walikuwa na shauku ya kumngojea Kristo atakaye kuja, kila mmoja alikuwa anawaza moyoni mwake kuhusu Yohana kama yeye ndiye Kristo.
16 Yohana akajibu kwa kuwaambia wote, “Mimi nawabatiza ninyi kwa maji, lakini kuna mmoja ajaye ambaye ana nguvu kuliko mimi, na sisitahili hata kufungua kamba za viatu vyake. Atawabatiza ninyi kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwa moto.
