John 1:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ John answered, “I baptize with water, but there is one here with you that you don’t ·know about [recognize]. ²⁷ He is the One who comes after me. I am not ·good enough [worthy; fit] to untie the ·strings [straps] of his sandals.” [^CRemoving sandals was the task of a slave.]

²⁸ This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan River [^Ca site east of the Jordan River, not the Bethany near Jerusalem], where John was baptizing people.
