- .....- now wouldn't this depend on which one of the thousands of versions one is quoting. ....
....! And in your expeditiousness expose yet another fallacy from your scriptures. If jesus is god, yet says that HE is not WORTHY TO FILL THE SHOES OF HE THAT COMES AFTER HIM and that THE ONE COMING AFTER HIM IS MIGHTIER, well then there's something very wrong with this picture and what you christians have been led to BELIEVE about the 'son of god'!
ROFLOL!
No, Info, it depends on what "VERSION" you are attributing to it.
Yet, AGAIN, the "THOUGHTS FROM YOUR MIND" are so laughable.
Yet, AGAIN, the FALLACY lies in your so-called "TRANSLATION."
THAT BIBLE VERSE IS JOHN THE BAPTIST SPEAKING OF JESUS.
IT IS NOT JESUS SPEAKING OF SOMEONE COMING AFTER HIM.
Now, I see why you're so confused. *smh*
Matthew 3:
[1] In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
[2] And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[3] For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
[4] And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
[5] Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
[6] And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
[7] But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
[8] Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
[9] And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
[10] And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
[11] I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
[12] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
[13] Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
