This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This was no strict answer to their question, which was not, how, but why he baptized? But proper replies are often called answers in Scripture, though not apposite to the question.
I baptize with water; I baptize you with mere water:
but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; but there hath stood one amongst you, esthken, or (by a usual putting of one tense for another) there standeth one; Christ had been there with the crowd, Luk_3:15,21, and possibly was amongst them still when John spake these words; whom you know not, not so much as ore tenus, by face.
