John 1:29-37

29The next day, John saw Jesus, who was coming towards him. John said, ‘Look! Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of people in the world.

30This is the man that I told you about. I told you, “He comes after me, but he is greater than I am. He was already there before I was born.”

31I did not know him. But I had to show Israel's people who he was. That is why I am baptizing people with water.’

32Then John told them, ‘I saw God's Spirit come down from heaven. He came down like a dove and he stayed on Jesus.

33I would not have known who Jesus was. But God had sent me to baptize people with water. And God told me, “You will see the Spirit come down. He will stay on someone. That is the person who will baptize people with my Holy Spirit.”

34Now I have seen this. So I can tell you that this is God's Son.’

35John was standing there again the next day, with two of his disciples.

36He saw Jesus, who was walking past them. John said, ‘Look! Here is the Lamb of God.’

37When the two disciples heard this, they followed Jesus.
