John 1:20-34

20And he confessedG3670 and did not denyG720, but confessedG3670, “1I amG1510 not 2the ChristG5547.” 21They askedG2065 him, “WhatG5101 thenG3767? Are you 3ElijahG2243?” And he saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” “Are you 4the ProphetG4396?” And he answeredG611, “NoG3756.” 22ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “WhoG5101 are you, soG2443 that we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to thoseG3588 who sentG3992 us? WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?” 23He saidG5346, “I am 5a voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘MakeG2116 straightG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962,’ as IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 saidG3004.”

24NowG2532 they had beenG1510 sentG649 from the PhariseesG5330. 25They askedG2065 him, and saidG3004 to him, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 are you baptizingG907, ifG1487 you are not the 6ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 7the ProphetG4396?” 26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them sayingG3004, “8I baptizeG907 9in waterG5204, but amongG3319 you standsG4739 One whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 27It is 10He who comesG2064 afterG3694 me, the 11thongG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to untieG3089.” 28TheseG3778 thingsG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 in BethanyG963 12beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 was baptizingG907.

29The nextG1887 dayG1887 he sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 13the LambG286 of GodG2316 who 14takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889! 30ThisG3778 is He on behalfG5228 of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘15AfterG3694 me comesG2064 a ManG435 whoG3739 16hasG1096 a higherG1715 rankG1715 than I, 17for He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’ 31I did not recognizeG3609 18Him, but soG2443 that He might be manifestedG5319 to IsraelG2474, I cameG2064 baptizingG907 19in waterG5204.” 32JohnG2491 20testifiedG3140 sayingG3004, “21I have seenG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772, and He remainedG3306 upon Him. 33I did not recognizeG3609 22Him, but He who sentG3992 me to baptizeG907 23in waterG5204 saidG3004 to me, ‘He upon whomG3739 you seeG3708 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 and remainingG3306 upon Him, 24thisG3778 is the One who baptizesG907 25in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 34I myselfG1473 have seenG3708, and have testifiedG3140 that thisG3778 is 26the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”
