24Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
26My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
