Then Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”
John testified about him and cried out, “This is he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ ”
John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know.
He is the one who comes after me, who ranks ahead of me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.
For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
