“Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
Paul said, 'John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus' — Paul's explanation situates John's baptism teleologically: it anticipates Christ, yet cannot consummate faith in him. John's ritual points beyond itself.
