He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. |
“It is He who, coming after me, is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.” |
“It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” |
He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” |
It is He Who, coming after me, is preferred before me, the string of Whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose. |
He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose. |
He comes after me, it is true, but I am not fit to undo His shoes!” |
He is to become my successor, because He has been put before me, and I am not fit to untie His shoestrings.” |
