John 1:26-36

26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them sayingG3004, “1I baptizeG907 2in waterG5204, but amongG3319 you standsG4739 One whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 27It is 3He who comesG2064 afterG3694 me, the 4thongG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to untieG3089.” 28TheseG3778 thingsG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 in BethanyG963 5beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 was baptizingG907.

29The nextG1887 dayG1887 he sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 6the LambG286 of GodG2316 who 7takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889! 30ThisG3778 is He on behalfG5228 of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘8AfterG3694 me comesG2064 a ManG435 whoG3739 9hasG1096 a higherG1715 rankG1715 than I, 10for He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’ 31I did not recognizeG3609 11Him, but soG2443 that He might be manifestedG5319 to IsraelG2474, I cameG2064 baptizingG907 12in waterG5204.” 32JohnG2491 13testifiedG3140 sayingG3004, “14I have seenG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772, and He remainedG3306 upon Him. 33I did not recognizeG3609 15Him, but He who sentG3992 me to baptizeG907 16in waterG5204 saidG3004 to me, ‘He upon whomG3739 you seeG3708 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 and remainingG3306 upon Him, 17thisG3778 is the One who baptizesG907 18in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 34I myselfG1473 have seenG3708, and have testifiedG3140 that thisG3778 is 19the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

35AgainG3825 20the nextG1887 dayG1887 JohnG2491 was standingG2476 21with twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, 36and he lookedG1689 at JesusG2424 as He walkedG4043, and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 22the LambG286 of GodG2316!”
