²⁶ John answered them, saying, `I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,

⁵ because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.'

¹⁰ in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

¹¹ to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;

¹⁶ John answered, saying to all, `I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

⁸ I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'

¹¹ `I indeed do baptize you with water to reformation, but he who after me is coming is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to bear the sandals, he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire,

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

¹ See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;

¹⁶ and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;

²⁵ `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

³ and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ;

³ and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

¹ Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts.

² And who is bearing the day of his coming? And who is standing in his appearing? For he `is' as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.
