Now as John was completing his mission, he said, “Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But one is coming after me, and I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.”
John answered them all, ‘I baptise you with water, but one who is more powerful than I am is coming. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
‘I baptise you with water for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove his sandals. He himself will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Paul said, ‘John baptised with a baptism of repentance, telling the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.’
