23He saidG5346, IG1473 am the voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Make straightG2116 the wayG3588G3598 of the LordG2962, asG2531 saidG3004 the prophetG3588G4396 IsaiahG2268. 24AndG2532 theyG3588 which were sentG649 wereG1510 ofG1537 the PhariseesG3588G5330. 25AndG2532 they askedG2065 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, WhyG5101 baptizest thouG907 thenG3767, ifG1487 thouG4771 beG1510 notG3756 that ChristG3588G5547, norG3777 ElijahG2243, neitherG3777 that prophetG3588G4396? 26JohnG3588G2491 answeredG611 themG846, sayingG3004, IG1473 baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204: butG1161 there standeth oneG2476 amongG3319 youG4771, whomG3739 yeG4771 knowG1492 notG3756; 27HeG846 it isG1510, whoG3739 comingG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG1473, whoseG3739 shoe’sG3588G5266 latchetG3588G2438 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to unlooseG3089. 28These thingsG3778 were doneG1096 inG1722 BethabaraG962 beyondG4008 JordanG3588G2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptizingG907.

29The next dayG1887 JohnG3588G2491 seethG991 JesusG3588G2424 comingG2064 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 saithG3004, BeholdG3708 the LambG3588G286 of GodG3588G2316, whichG3588 taketh awayG142 the sinG3588G266 of the worldG3588G2889. 30ThisG3778 isG1510 he ofG4012 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG3004, AfterG3694 meG1473 comethG2064 a manG435 whichG3739 is preferredG1096 beforeG1715 meG1473: forG3754 he wasG1510 beforeG4413 meG1473. 31And IG2504 knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 thatG2443 he should be made manifestG5319 to IsraelG2474, thereforeG1223 amG2064 IG1473 comeG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG3588G5204. 32AndG2532 JohnG2491 bare recordG3140, sayingG3004, I sawG2300 the SpiritG3588G4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5616 a doveG4058, andG2532 it abodeG3306 uponG1909 himG846. 33AndG2504 I knewG1492 himG846 notG3756: butG235 heG3588 that sentG3992 meG1473 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204, the sameG1565 saidG3004 unto meG1473, UponG1909 whomG3739 thou shalt seeG3708 the SpiritG3588G4151 descendingG2597, andG2532 remainingG3306 onG1909 himG846, the sameG3778 isG1510 heG3588 which baptizethG907 withG1722 theG4151 HolyG40 GhostG4151. 34AndG2504 I sawG3708, andG2532 bare recordG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316.
