John 1:27

27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie}^[a] the strap of his sandal!"

John 1:27 In-Context

25 And they asked him and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize with water. In your midst stands [one] whom you do not know--

27 the one who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy {to untie} the strap of his sandal!"

28 These [things] took place in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
