²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

²⁷ He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

³⁴ And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
