ACTS 13:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.”
As John was completing his work, he said: 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one you are looking for. No, but he is coming after me, whose sandals I am not worthy to untie' — John's self-effacing testimony (John 1:26-27) clarifies the hierarchy of redemptive roles. The sandal-loosing image, a servant's task, emphasizes John's absolute subordination to the coming one, making him a model of humble witness.
