Matthew 3:9 in Context — Matthew 3
7 Mas quando ele viu muitos dos fariseus e dos saduceus que vinham ao seu batismo, disse-lhes: Ninhada de víboras! Quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira futura?
8 Dai, pois, frutos condizentes com o arrependimento.
9 E não imagineis, dizendo em vós mesmos: “Temos por pai a Abraão”, porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras Deus pode fazer surgir filhos a Abraão.
10 E agora mesmoo machado está posto à raiz das árvores; portanto toda árvore que não dá bom fruto é cortada e lançada ao fogo.
11 Realmente eu vos batizo com água para arrependimento, mas aquele que vem após mim é mais poderoso do que eu; suas sandálias não sou digno de levar. Ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.
