Sophie - You pose an interesting question. The ESV reads similar to the NIV that Brencpa states above. In looking at The Message - another version that I will occasionally use in my bible study - it reads " A triple testimony: the Spirit, the Baptism, the Crucifixion. And the three in perfect agreement." What do you make of that? I see from other posts that you prefer the KJV. I generally use the ESV or NIV version, but like to go online to bible gateway and look up other versions from time to time for additional insight.
