John 1:28–36
28These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.↗
29The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!↗
30This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’↗
31I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.”↗
32John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.↗
33I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’↗
34I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”↗
35Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,↗
36and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”↗
