John Points to the Messiah

15

And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

16

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

17

whose fan is in his hand, thoroughly to cleanse his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

18

With many other exhortations therefore preached he good tidings unto the people;

19

but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

20

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.
