¹¹ “As for me, ^(A)I baptize you ^[a]with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; ^(B)He will baptize you ^[b]with the Holy Spirit and fire.

²⁷ It is ^(A)He who comes after me, the ^(B)thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

³⁰ This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘^(A)After me comes a Man who ^[a]has a higher rank than I, ^(B)for He existed before me.’
