Iver,
I'm not trying to disagree (at this point) with what you say, but I'm
wondering what you meant by "Probably carried over from Matt 3:11." Are
you asserting the priority of Matthew. Since b-greek is not a forum for
introductory matters, I don't want to get into a discussion of that, but
some clarification would be appreciated.
