Next

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

And I {G2504} knew {G1492} him {G846} not {G3756}: but {G235} he that sent {G3992} me {G3165} to baptize {G907} with {G1722} water {G5204}, the same {G1565} said {G2036} unto me {G3427}, Upon {G1909} whom {G3739}{G302} thou shalt see {G1492} the Spirit {G4151} descending {G2597}, and {G2532} remaining {G3306} on {G1909} him {G846}, the same {G3778} is {G2076} he which baptizeth {G907} with {G1722} the Holy {G40} Ghost {G4151}.

I myself did not know who he was, but the one who sent me to immerse in water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is the one who immerses in the Ruach HaKodesh.’

I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
