John 1:19-34

19AndG2532 thisG3778 wasG1510 John’sG3588G2491 testimonyG3141 whenG3753 theG3588 JewsG2453 ofG1537 JerusalemG2414 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, “WhoG5101 areG1510 youG4771?” 20He did not refuse to confessG3670G2532G3756G720, butG2532 openly declaredG3670, “IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547.”

21“ThenG3767 whoG5101 are you?” they inquiredG2065G846. “AreG1510 youG4771 ElijahG2243?”

He saidG3004, “I amG1510 notG3756.”

“AreG1510 youG4771 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

He answeredG611, “NoG3756.”

22SoG3767 they saidG2036 to himG846, “WhoG5101 are youG1510? We needG2443G1325 an answerG612 for thoseG3588 who sentG3992 usG1473. WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?”

23John repliedG5346 inG2531 the words ofG2036 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396:

24ThenG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 who had been sentG649G1510G1537 25askedG2065 himG846, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 do you baptizeG907, ifG1487 youG4771 areG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

26“IG1473 baptizeG907 withG17222 waterG5204,” JohnG2491 repliedG611G846G3004, “but amongG3319 youG4771 standsG2476 One youG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492. 27He is the One whoG3588 comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473, theG3588 strapsG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalsG5266 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 untieG3089.”

28All thisG3778 happenedG1096 atG1722 BethanyG963 beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptizingG907.

29TheG3588 next dayG1887 John sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 towardG4314 himG846 andG2532 saidG3004, “LookG2400, theG3588 LambG286 of GodG2316, whoG3588 takes awayG142 theG3588 sinG266 of theG3588 worldG2889! 30This isG1510 HeG3778 ofG5228 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036, ‘A manG435 who comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 hasG1096 surpassedG1715 meG1473 becauseG3754 He wasG1510 beforeG4413 meG1473.’ 31I myselfG2504 did notG3756 knowG1492 HimG846, butG235 the reasonG1223G3778 IG1473 cameG2064 baptizingG907 withG1722 waterG5204 was thatG2443 He might be revealedG5319 to IsraelG2474.”

32ThenG2532 JohnG2491 testifiedG3140G3004, “I sawG2300 theG3588 SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772 likeG5613 a doveG4058 andG2532 restingG3306 onG1909 HimG846. 33I myselfG2504 did notG3756 knowG1492 HimG846, butG235 theG3588 One who sentG3992 meG1473 to baptizeG907 withG1722 waterG5204 toldG2036 meG1473, ‘The man onG1909 whomG3739G302 you seeG3708 theG3588 SpiritG4151 descendG2597 andG2532 restG3306 isG1510 HeG3588 who will baptizeG907 withG1722 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 34IG2504 have seenG3708 andG2532 testifiedG3140 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316.3”
