¹¹ “As for me, ^(A)I baptize you ^[a]with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; ^(B)He will baptize you ^[b]with the Holy Spirit and fire.

⁷ And he was ^[a]preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

^16 (A)John answered and said to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water; but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the thong of His sandals; He will baptize you ^[a]with the Holy Spirit and fire.

²⁰ And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “^(A)I am not ^[a]the Christ.”

²⁷ It is ^(A)He who comes after me, the ^(B)thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
