And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. |
“I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ |
“And I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in (or with or by) water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ |
|
I would not have known Him, except that the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ |
And I did not know Him nor recognize Him, but He Who sent me to baptize in (with) water said to me, Upon Him Whom you shall see the Spirit descend and remain, that One is He Who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. |
And as for myself, I did not know Him in an absolute way. But He Who sent me to be baptizing by means of water, that One said to me, Upon whomever you see the Spirit descending and abiding upon Him, this One is He who baptizes by means of the Holy Spirit. |
|
Indeed I did not recognise Him, but He who sent me to baptise with water told me this: ‘The one on whom you will see the Spirit coming down and resting is the Man who baptizes with the Holy Spirit!’ |
I did not know Him myself, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining, is the One who is to baptize in the Holy Spirit.’ |
