^11 (A)“I baptize you with water ^(B)for repentance, but ^(C)he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you ^(D)with the Holy Spirit and ^(E)fire. ¹² His ^(F)winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and ^(G)gather his wheat into the barn, ^(H)but the chaff he will burn with ^(I)unquenchable fire.”

⁷ And he preached, saying, ^(A)“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. ^8 (B)I have baptized you with water, but ^(C)he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

^16 (A)John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but ^(B)he who is mightier than I is coming, ^(C)the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you ^(D)with the Holy Spirit and ^(E)fire. ¹⁷ His ^(F)winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to ^(G)gather the wheat into his barn, ^(H)but the chaff he will burn with ^(I)unquenchable fire.”

²⁶ John answered them, ^(A)“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, ²⁷ even ^(B)he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
