Matthew 3

NET

14 But John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?”


Darby

14 but John urgently forbadD6649 him, saying, *I* have need to be baptisedD6650 of thee; and comest *thou* to me?


Darby Bible Notes

forbad - Imperfect, 'was so doing.' i.e. the act is presented as being then done, not historically presented as one past fact. baptised - Aorist tense, 'to be in the state of its having been done.' see ch. 3.8.
