And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not,
16
John answered, saying unto
them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in
the Holy Spirit and fire;
17

is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
threshing floor and will gather the wheat into his storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

the son of Levi, who was

the son of Janna, who was
the son of Joseph,
25
who was
the son of Mattathias, who was
the son of Amos, who was
the son of Naum, who was
the son of Esli, who was
the son of Nagge,
