John did not baptize this audience

John’s baptism was for those who met the condition of repentance and confession

The “you” of verse 11 did not refer to the Pharisees and Sadducees specifically

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to

them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from

the wrath to come? 8 “Therefore bear fruit in

keeping with repentance;Matthew 3:7–8 (NASB95)

The passage deals with the distinction in administers not similarities in recipients

John had authority only to baptize in water

Jesus had authority to send the Spirit and to judge the impenitent

11 “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I

am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
