Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
    • B 11a I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:
      • C 11b but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:
    • B' 11c he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:
  • A' 12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
