Thematic Bible



And he preached, saying, A man mightier than I comes after me of whom I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loosen the strap of his shoes. I indeed immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in Holy Spirit.

John testified about him, and cried out, saying, This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me came to be before me, because he was before me.

I indeed immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He will immerse you in a Holy Spirit. Whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. And he will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but he will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.

John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in Holy Spirit and fire, whose winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but amidst you stands him whom ye know not. He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe. These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was immersing. read more.
On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me. And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water. And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him. And I had not known him. But he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, Upon whomever thou will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in Holy Spirit. And I have seen and have 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 also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed. For John was not yet cast into prison. Therefore a debate developed from John's disciples with the Jews about purification. read more.
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven. Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man. He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled. It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease. He who comes from above is above all things. He who is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all things. And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony. He who has received his testimony has set a seal that God is true. For he whom God sent speaks the sayings of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid. Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

And many came to him, and they said, John indeed did not one sign, but all, as many things as John spoke about this man, were true.

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not, but behold, he comes after me of whom I am not worthy to loose the shoes of his feet.
