Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And as the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their minds concerning John, That he perhaps might be The Christ, ¹⁶ John addressed them all, saying, I, indeed, baptize you in water; but there is one coming; who is mightier than I; the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you in a holy spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing instrument is in his hand; and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather together the wheat for his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ Thus, with many other exhortations, he published the glad tidings to the people.
