John 1:31 | |
NASB: "I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water." (NASB ©1995) GWT: I didn't know who he was. However, I came to baptize with water to show him to the people of Israel." (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. ASV: And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water. BBE: I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel. DBY: and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water. WEY: I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water." WBS: And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. WEB: I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel." YLT: and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing. | |
