For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

John answered, saying unto {them} all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all {men} through him might believe.

Of this man's seed hath God according to {his} promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all {men} through him might believe.

John answered, saying unto {them} all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

He was not that Light, but {was sent} to bear witness of that Light.

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and {with} fire:

And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not {he}. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of {his} feet I am not worthy to loose.
