Luke 3:16

John The Baptist Begins His Ministry

¹⁵ Now the people were waiting expectantly, and all of them were debating in their minds whether John might be the Messiah. ¹⁶ John answered them all, “I baptize you with water, but One is coming who is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing shovel is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and gather the wheat into His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with a fire that never goes out.”
