Then the Lord said to him--'Take your sandals off your feet, for the spot where you are standing is holy ground.
I, indeed, baptize you with water to teach repentance; but He who is Coming after me is more powerful than I, and I am not fit even to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from Heaven, when we were with him on that Sacred Mountain.
