I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

John answered them, ¹  “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize, ² 

“I baptize you with water, for repentance, but the one coming after me is more powerful than I am – I am not worthy ¹  to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ² 

John answered them all, ¹  “I baptize you with water, ²  but one more powerful than I am is coming – I am not worthy ³  to untie the strap ⁴  of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ⁵

I thank God ¹  that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,

So they asked John, ¹  “Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, ²  nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
