Luke 3:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 3:17

15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

16 John answered, saying to all, ^a“I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will ^bbaptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

17 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and ^agather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”

18 And with many other exhortations he preached to the people.

19 ^aBut Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

20 also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.
