NETBible

who is coming after me. I am not worthy¹ to untie the strap² of his sandal!”

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “of whom I am not worthy.”

¹sn The humility of John is evident in the statement I am not worthy. This was considered one of the least worthy tasks of a slave, and John did not consider himself worthy to do even that for the one to come, despite the fact he himself was a prophet.

²tn The term refers to the leather strap or thong used to bind a sandal. This is often viewed as a collective singular and translated as a plural, “the straps of his sandals,” but it may be more emphatic to retain the singular here.
