There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, - concerning purification.

Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.

I, indeed, am immersing you, in water, unto repentance, - but, he who, after me, cometh is, mightier than I, whose, sandals, I am not worthy to bear, he, will immerse you, in Holy Spirit and fire:

and, observing certain of his disciples, that, with defiled hands, that is unwashed, they are eating bread, - -

Having, dismissed, the commandment, of God, ye, hold fast, the tradition, of men.

Of immersions - in respect of teaching, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of judgment age-abiding; -

Only as to eatings, and drinkings, and diversified immersions, - righteous-appointments of the flesh, which, until a season of rectifying, are in force.

For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the profaned, halloweth unto the purity of the flesh,

It was indeed therefore necessary for the glimpses of the things in the heavens with these to be purified; but, the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these.

Which water in manner corresponding, doth, now, save, you also - even immersion, - not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request unto God, for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, -
