Look, I'm out here baptizing you with water to show you're turning your life around. But there's someone coming after me who's on a completely different level — I'm not even worthy to carry his shoes. He's going to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

So go and make disciples of people from every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
