• Uma: “Many people came requesting-to-be-baptized to Yohanes. Yohanes said saying to them: ‘You whose actions are twisted! Why do you come? Perhaps you think that you can get away from the anger of the Lord God that is almost striking you?” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “Very many people went to Yahiya asking him to be bathed. Therefore he said to them, ‘You there, your custom is like the custom of a deceiving snake. Why do you come here?

• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And there were many people who went there to John to be baptized. And he said to them, ‘Just like a custom of a snake is your custom because you are liars.
