    Active and passive forms describe an agent baptizing people and people receiving baptism. In John 1:26 the APB renders John’s clause, “I baptize with water,” while Acts 2:38 places the passive form in the call to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Acts 8:36 joins the requested baptism to the sight of water; John 1:33 and Acts 1:5 contrast baptism with water and baptism with the Holy Spirit; Mark 10:38 speaks of being baptized with the baptism mentioned alongside drinking a cup.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB commonly uses “baptize,” “baptized,” and “baptizing,” and it preserves accompanying phrases such as “with water” and “with the Holy Spirit.” Those English forms confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate every contribution of the Greek form.
