Exegesis
The participial phrase ho pempsas me baptizein en hydati {ὁ πέμψας με βαπτίζειν ἐν ὕδατι | ho pémp-sas me bap-tí-zein en hý-da-ti} uses an aorist participle “having sent” with an infinitive of purpose “to baptize” to define John’s commission in water, while the article ho turns the participle into a substantive, “the One who sent me.”
In context — John 1:33
And I did not know Him , but He who sent me to baptize with water, that One said to me, “Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit .”
