The Greek word for "produce" is "ποιέω" (poieo), which means to make or do. This implies that repentance is not merely an internal change but must manifest in outward actions. In the context of John the Baptist's ministry, this call to action was a radical departure from the mere ritualistic observance of the law. It emphasizes that true repentance results in tangible evidence of a transformed life, aligning with the teachings of Jesus that a tree is known by its fruit (<a href="/matthew/7-16.htm">Matthew 7:16-20</a>).<p><b>in keeping with repentance</b><br />The phrase "in keeping with repentance" underscores the necessity of consistency between one's actions and their professed change of heart. The Greek word for "repentance" is "μετάνοια" (metanoia), which means a change of mind or a turning away from sin. Historically, repentance was a central theme in the preaching of the prophets, calling Israel back to faithfulness to God. In the New Testament context, John the Baptist's call to repentance was preparatory for the coming of Jesus, urging people to realign their lives with God's will. This phrase challenges believers to examine their lives for evidence of genuine repentance, as true repentance is not a one-time event but an ongoing process of transformation and renewal.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) <span class= "bld">Fruits</span> <span class= "bld">(better, <span class= "ital">fruit</span>) meet for repentance.</span>--The English version is ambiguous and not happy, suggesting the thought of the "fruit" as preparing the way for repentance. The thought is, however, "by coming to the baptism you profess repentance; bring forth, therefore, fruit <span class= "ital">worthy of repentance--i.e.,</span> of a changed heart and will."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Bring forth therefore</span> (<span class="accented">vide supra</span>) <span class="accented">fruits</span>; <span class="accented">fruit</span> (Revised Version). The plural is due to a false reading taken from the parallel passage of Luke - it regards the various graces of a good life as so many different fruits (<a href="/matthew/21-43.htm">Matthew 21:43</a>); the singular, as one product from one source (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a>). The term used here (<span class="greek">ποιεῖν καρπόν</span>), and frequently, lays more stress on the effort involved than <span class="greek">διδόναι καρπόν</span>, simple "yielding" (<a href="/matthew/8-8.htm">Matthew 8:8</a>), or <span class="greek">φέρειν</span>, "bearing" in the course of nature (<a href="/matthew/7-18.htm">Matthew 7:18</a>; <a href="/mark/4-8.htm">Mark 4:8</a>; <a href="/john/15-4.htm">John 15:4, 5, 8, 16</a>). The preacher requires a repentance which produces results. <span class="cmt_word">Meet for</span> (cf. <a href="/acts/26-20.htm">Acts 26:20</a>). Though strictly meaning "suitable to" ("answering to," Authorized Version margin; cf. Tyndale, 'be-longyng to"), the phrase might to-day be understood as "suitable to produce." John really means that true repentance has fruit which belongs to its proper nature, and which is alone "worthy of" it (Revised Version). <span class="cmt_word">Repentance</span> (<span class="greek">τῆς μετανοίας</span>). The article is either generic (Authorized Version and Revised Version; cf. <a href="/acts/11-18.htm">Acts 11:18</a> and probably Acts 26:20); or equivalent to "your" (Revised Version margin). If the latter, the following sentence shows that it is still said in good faith. (For repentance, cf. ver. 1, note.) <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/3-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Produce</span><br /><span class="grk">ποιήσατε</span> <span class="translit">(poiēsate)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_4160.htm">Strong's 4160: </a> </span><span class="str2">(a) I make, manufacture, construct, (b) I do, act, cause.
