John G2491 answered G611 , saying G3004 unto them all G537 , I G1473 indeed G3303 baptize G907 you G5209 with water G5204 ; but G1161 one mightier G2478 than I G3450 cometh G2064 , the G3588 latchet G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not G3756 worthy G2425 to unloose G3089 : he G846 shall baptize G907 you G5209 with G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and G2532 with fire G4442 :
