And he proclaimed, saying, The stronger than I comes after me, of whom I am not sufficient, having bent the head, to loose the strings of his shoes. I truly immersed you in water: but he shall immerse you with the Holy Spirit.


I truly immerse you in water to repentance; but he coming after me is stronger than I, whose shoes I am not fit to lift up; he shall immerse in the Holy Spirit, and fire Whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the store; but he will burn down the chaff in inextinguishable fire.

John answered to all, saying, I truly immerse you with water; and he stronger than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to loose his shoes' strings: he shall immerse you with the Holy Spirit and fire: Whose winnowing fan in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and gather the wheat into his store; and the chaff he will burn down with inextinguishable fire.

John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not; This is he coming after me, who was before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loose the strings of his shoes. These things were in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was immersing. read more.
In the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, be taking away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he might be manifested to Israel, for this I came immersing in water. And John testified, saying, That I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it remained up on him. And I knew him not: but he having sent me to immerse in water, this said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shouldest see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is he immersing in the Holy Spirit. And I have seen, and testified that this is the Son of God. Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples; And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold the Lamb of God

And John was also immersing in AEnon near Salim, for many waters were there: and they came near and were immersed. For John was not yet cast into prison. Then was there an investigation of John's disciples with Jesus about purification. read more.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast testified, behold, he immerses, and all come to him. John answered and said, No man can receive anything except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves testify to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He having the bride is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy for the bridegroom's voice: therefore this my joy has been completed. He must increase, and I must be diminished. He coming from above is above all, he being of the earth is of earth, and speaks of earth: he coming from heaven is above all. And what he saw and heard, this be testifies: and none receives his testimony. He having received his testimony has fixed a seal that God is true. For he whom God sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand. He believing in the Son has eternal life: and he not believing the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains upon him.

Another is testifying of me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

And many came to him, and said, That truly John did no sign: but all which John said of him was true.

And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose.
