15 Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, (A)as to whether he was the [a]Christ, 16 (B)John answered, saying to them all, “As for me, I baptize you with water, but One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to untie the strap of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His (C)winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn, but He will burn up the chaff with (D)unquenchable fire.”
18 So with many other exhortations he proclaimed the gospel to the people.
