Exegesis
The infinitive phrase to hupodema ton podon lusai {τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν λῦσαι | tó hu-pó-dē-ma tôn po-dôn lŷ-sai} functions as the object of axios, specifying the humble task—loosening a sandal {ὑπόδημα | hu-pó-dē-ma} from the feet {ποδῶν | po-dôn}—that John considers himself unworthy even to perform. In translation, word order is adjusted to maintain clear English clause structure while preserving the contrast between John’s denial of mistaken identity and his deep humility before the One who follows him.
In context — Acts 13:25
And as John was completing his course , he was saying, “What do you suppose me to be? I am not he, but behold, One is coming after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.”
