Jn 1:26b ... "I baptize in water." ..."Among you has-stood one-whom you not do-know, ..."

The 2nd and 3rd phrases have these 11 dialog words ... Egō baptizō en hudati. Mesos humōn hestēken hon humeis ouk oidate ("I baptize in water."... "Among you has-stood one-whom you not do-know, ...").

The 11 dialog words are top down. John admits he is baptising with water but the following 23 words do not answer the question why. The diagram shows the words are tangent to John and the Jordan river in which John baptizes. The 7 word third phrase is tangent to the water, the one who stood, and the signs of not knowing coming off the heads of the temple officials. John is baptizing without the authority of the Sanhedrin Council but for someone who is coming, they do not yet know or recognize him.
