And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
John 3:28-36
28
ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him;
29
he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled.
30
'Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less;
31
he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.
32
'And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and his testimony none receiveth;
33
he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;
34
for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit;
35
the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand;
36
he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'
Matthew 3:11
'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,
Matthew 3:12
whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
Mark 1:7
and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals;
Mark 1:8
I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
Luke 3:15-17
15
And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;
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;
17
whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'
