Baptized “in” or “with”?—The American Standard Revised Version of Matt. 3:11 reads as follows: “I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance; but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire,” instead of “with water,” as in our common version. Because of this it has been called a “Baptist production,” and that it is the “fruit of unpardonable sectarianism.” To this the editor of the S. S. Times replies by telling the story of the New England town which had failed to fire a cannon salute when President Andrew Jackson visited the place. They drew up an elaborate apology, specifying thirteen reasons why a cannon was not fired. The first was that they had no cannon. The President told them to never mind the other twelve. The editor goes on to say that “there are a number of valid answers to the charge that the American Revision is the production of ‘unpardonable [Baptist] sectarianism,’ but perhaps one that will appeal to the American public is the fact that among the survivors of the American Revision Committee who edited the final version of 1901 there was not a single Baptist brother left in the American New Testament Company! Dr. Kendrick, the only Baptist scholar active in the New Testament Revision in America, died Oct. 22, 1895, before the work on the Standard Edition fairly began.” The American Standard Revised Version is the translation par excellence.
