Matthew 3:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 I (YHchanan /John) indeed baptize (no definition in Hebrew . Baptizo; in Greek only: immersed, to make fully wet, etc..) you with water (teaching, a throwing – epecially of an arrow; ie: a Paleo Hebrew Torah is the bulls-eye) unto repentance (nocham : desistance, etc..) but he (Iysh: the husbandman, steward, etc..) that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize (no definition in Hebrew . Baptizo; in Greek only: immerse, to make fully wet, etc..) you with the Holy (Ha-Kodesh: the sanctity, consecrated thing, set-apart, etc..) Ghost (Ruach: expression, breath etc..), and with fire (a fragrance by fire, as in incense, a sacrifice, etc..):”
John here telling us how via perfect obedience to the Father (YHWH, the Word and Works of Elohim) YH’shua teaches, even that of sacrificing for others; how when we do as he did, we too become a well received fragrance (tappuwach; smell of a fruit, as in the delight of YH’s fruits) to the Father (YHWH – the word and works of Elohim)….. HalleluYH!!!!! Also see (John 14:12) :)
