Jn 1:29-34

John the Baptist’s Testimony to Jesus. 29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God,^* who takes away the sin of the world.^t 30^* He is the one of whom I said,^u ‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’ 31I did not know him,^* but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel.” 32John testified further, saying, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove^* from the sky and remain upon him. 33I did not know him,^v but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the holy Spirit.’^w 34^{* x} Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”
