(1) 1Q: Luke 3:7-9 = Matt 3:7-10

/3:7/ John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? /8/ Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. /9/ Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."

= Matt 3:7-10
/3:7/ But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? /8/ Bear fruit worthy of repentance. /9/ Do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. /10/ Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
