Luk_03_15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

Luk_03_17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

Luk_03_18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
