Luke 3:12

The English Standar Version

Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, "Teacher, what shall we do?"

See the chapter Copy

(When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just,[7] having been baptized with the baptism of John,

But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

And the crowds asked him, "What then shall we do?"

And he said to them, "Collect no more than you are authorized to do."

Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
