Matthew 3:11
Douay-Rheims
I indeed baptize you in the water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
It was the office of slaves to loose the latchet of their masters' shoes. John expresses his unworthiness to perform even this low act for Christ.
