Mark 1:8

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

I indeed have baptized you with water,.... This was spoken to the baptized persons, partly to take off their dependence upon him and his baptism; and partly to direct their views to Christ, from whom the gifts and graces of the Spirit are alone to be had:but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost;See Gill on "Mt 3:11".

One copy adds, "and with fire", as there: a Jewish writer says, the holy blessed God baptizeth with fire, and the wise shall understand . R. Menachem in Lev. viii. apud Ainsworth on Gen. xvii.
