Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John,––whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered, saying unto all––I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose,––he, will immerse you in Holy Spirit and fire: ¹⁷ whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing–floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ So then indeed, as to many things and various, he exhorted, and continued telling his glad–message unto the people.
