Mark 1:8

8 ego baptizavi vos aqua ille vero baptizabit vos Spiritu Sancto

Mark 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:8

I indeed have baptized you with water
This was spoken to the baptized persons, partly to take off their dependence upon him and his baptism; and partly to direct their views to Christ, from whom the gifts and graces of the Spirit are alone to be had:

but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost;
(See Gill on Matthew 3:11). One copy adds, "and with fire", as there: a Jewish writer says, the holy blessed God baptizeth with fire, and the wise shall understand ^F16.

Mark 1:8 In-Context

6 et erat Iohannes vestitus pilis cameli et zona pellicia circa lumbos eius et lucustas et mel silvestre edebat

7 et praedicabat dicens venit fortior me post me cuius non sum dignus procumbens solvere corrigiam calciamentorum eius

8 ego baptizavi vos aqua ille vero baptizabit vos Spiritu Sancto

9 et factum est in diebus illis venit Iesus a Nazareth Galilaeae et baptizatus est in Iordane ab Iohanne

10 et statim ascendens de aqua vidit apertos caelos et Spiritum tamquam columbam descendentem et manentem in ipso
