← Luke 3:15	Luke 3:16 (KJV)	Luke 3:17 →
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;	John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:	Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
