“He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.”
John 1:27 (KJV)
Commentary on John 1:27
John declares himself unworthy of the most menial service for Christ: 'whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.' Untying sandals was a slave's task, beneath even a disciple's duties. John, the greatest prophet born of women (Matthew 11:11), considers himself unworthy of the lowest servant role to Christ. This expresses the infinite qualitative difference between the greatest human and the Son of God. True understanding of Christ's glory produces genuine humility.
