15 People's hopes were rising as they all wondered whether John was the Messiah. 16 John replied to all of them, |I baptize you with water. But the one who is more powerful than I is coming. I am not worthy to untie his sandal straps. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing shovel is in his hand to clean up his threshing floor. He will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn the husks in a fire that can never be put out.| 18 With many other encouraging words, he told the Good News to the people.
