Then I remembered the Lord’s words.‘ John baptized with water,’ he had said.‘ But you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

我就想起主的话说：‘约翰是用水施洗，但你们要受圣灵的洗。’

我就想起主的话如何说：‘约翰用水施洗，但你们要在圣灵里受洗。’

我就想起主的话如何说：‘约翰用水施洗，但你们要在圣灵里受洗。’

我就想起主的话，‘约翰用水施洗，但你们要受圣灵的洗礼。’

我就想起主所说的话：‘约翰用水施洗，但你们要受圣灵的洗。’

我就想起了主如此说的话，‘约翰用水施洗，但你们将要受圣灵的洗。’

我就想起主的話說：『約翰是用水施洗，但你們要受聖靈的洗。』

我就想起主的話如何說：『約翰用水施洗，但你們要在聖靈裏受洗。』

我就想起主的話，他怎樣說：「約翰施洗是用水的，但你們呢、卻要在聖靈裏受洗。」

我就想起了主如此說的話，『約翰用水施洗，但你們將要受聖靈的洗。』

我遂憶主言曰、約翰固以水施洗、惟爾曹將受洗於聖神焉、

我即憶主言、約翰固以水施洗、惟爾曹將受洗於聖神也、

我即憶主言曰、約翰施洗以水、惟爾曹將受洗於聖神、

予乃憶主之言曰：「如望以水施洗、而爾等將受聖神之洗焉。」

Then I remembered what the Lord had said:‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

Then I thought of the Lord’s words when he said,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said,‘ John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, as he used to say,‘ John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

John baptized with water. But in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

I baptize you with water. But he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

He asked them,“ Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?”“ No,” they answered.“ We haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”So Paul asked,“ Then what baptism did you receive?”“ John’s baptism,” they replied.Paul said,“ John baptized people, calling them to turn away from their sins. He told them to believe in the one who was coming after him. Jesus is that one.”

John answered them all,“ I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I am will come. I’m not good enough to untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

But the Father will send the Friend in my name to help you. The Friend is the Holy Spirit. He will teach you all things. He will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Pay attention to my warning! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make known to you my teachings.

“ I baptize you with water, calling you to turn away from your sins. But after me, someone is coming who is more powerful than I am. I’m not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

We were all baptized by one Holy Spirit. And so we are formed into one body. It didn’t matter whether we were Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free people. We were all given the same Spirit to drink.

I will pour out water on the thirsty land. I will make streams flow on the dry ground. I will pour out my Spirit on your children. I will pour out my blessing on their children after them.They will spring up like grass in a meadow. They will grow like poplar trees near flowing streams.Some will say,‘ We belong to the Lord.’ Others will call themselves by Jacob’s name. Still others will write on their hands,‘ We belong to the Lord.’ And they will be called by the name of Israel.

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders. I want to encourage you to think in a way that is pure.

“ After that, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will have dreams. Your young men will have visions.

Why have I told you this? So that when their time comes, you will remember that I warned you about them. I didn’t tell you this from the beginning because I was with you.

“ At that time fresh wine will drip from the mountains. Milk will flow down from the hills. Water will run through all Judah’s valleys. A fountain will flow out of my temple. It will water the places where acacia trees grow.

I will sprinkle pure water on you. Then you will be‘ clean.’ I will make you completely pure and‘ clean.’ I will take all the statues of your gods away from you.

“ I baptize people with water,” John replied.“ But someone is standing among you whom you do not know.

In everything I did, I showed you that we must work hard and help the weak. We must remember the words of the Lord Jesus. He said,‘ It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.

I myself did not know him. But the one who sent me to baptize with water told me,‘ You will see the Spirit come down and remain on someone. He is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

He saved us. It wasn’t because of the good things we had done. It was because of his mercy. He saved us by washing away our sins. We were born again. The Holy Spirit gave us new life.God poured out the Spirit on us freely. That’s because of what Jesus Christ our Savior has done.
