Mark 1:7 Commentary - Whedon's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments
7. The latchet The word latchet signifies a fastener of some kind. It is allied to the latch of a door, to the word lock; and is derived from the Latin ligo, to fasten. It here signifies a shoe-string. In Matthew the phrase is, “whose shoes I am not worthy to bear.” Perhaps John, on different occasions, used both expressions.
