Acts 13:23-26

²³And God promised that a man from David’s family will come to save us Israel people. And now that man has come. His name is Jesus.

²⁴But before Jesus came, a man called John came and talked to us Israel people. He said, ‘Stop doing bad things. Turn around. Turn back to God, and then I will baptise you.’

²⁵And John said, ‘Who do you reckon I am? Do you think I’m that special man that God promised to send? No way. He will come later. I am nothing. I’m not good enough to touch his feet or untie his shoes.’ That’s what John told everyone when he was finishing his work.

²⁶Listen, friends. Some of you are Jews that belong to our grand-father Abraham’s family, and some of you are not Jews but you respect our God. All of you listen to this message that God sent to us. It is about the way God wants to save us.
