¹¹ “As for me, ^(A)I baptize you 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 with the Holy Spirit and fire.

⁷ And he was ^[a]preaching, saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals.

^16 (A)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.

²⁰ And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “^(A)I am not the ^[a]Christ.”

²⁷ This One is ^(A)He who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie the ^(B)strap of His sandal.”
