Matthew 3:14

But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

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

John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have the need to be baptized by You, and yet You are coming to me?”

But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,” he said, “so why are you coming to me?”

But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?”
