John 1:29-44

29The nextG1887 dayG1887 he sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 1the LambG286 of GodG2316 who 2takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889! 30ThisG3778 is He on behalfG5228 of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘3AfterG3694 me comesG2064 a ManG435 whoG3739 4hasG1096 a higherG1715 rankG1715 than I, 5for He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’ 31I did not recognizeG3609 6Him, but soG2443 that He might be manifestedG5319 to IsraelG2474, I cameG2064 baptizingG907 7in waterG5204.” 32JohnG2491 8testifiedG3140 sayingG3004, “9I have seenG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772, and He remainedG3306 upon Him. 33I did not recognizeG3609 10Him, but He who sentG3992 me to baptizeG907 11in waterG5204 saidG3004 to me, ‘He upon whomG3739 you seeG3708 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 and remainingG3306 upon Him, 12thisG3778 is the One who baptizesG907 13in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 34I myselfG1473 have seenG3708, and have testifiedG3140 that thisG3778 is 14the SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

35AgainG3825 15the nextG1887 dayG1887 JohnG2491 was standingG2476 16with twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, 36and he lookedG1689 at JesusG2424 as He walkedG4043, and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 17the LambG286 of GodG2316!” 37The twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 him speakG2980, and they followedG190 JesusG2424. 38And JesusG2424 turnedG4762 and sawG2300 them followingG190, and saidG3004 to them, “WhatG5101 do you seekG2212?” They saidG3004 to Him, “18RabbiG4461 (whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG3004 TeacherG1320), whereG4226 are You stayingG3306?” 39He saidG3004 to them, “ComeG2064, and you will seeG3708.” SoG3767 they cameG2064 and sawG3708 whereG4226 He was stayingG3306; and they stayedG3306 with Him that dayG2250, for it was aboutG5613 the 19tenthG1182 hourG5610. 4020OneG1520 of the twoG1417 who heardG191 JohnG2491 speak and followedG190 Him, was AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’sG4074 brotherG80. 41He foundG2147 firstG4413 his ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613 and saidG3004 to him, “We have foundG2147 the 21MessiahG3323” (whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510 22ChristG5547). 42He broughtG71 him to JesusG2424. JesusG2424 lookedG1689 at him and saidG3004, “You are SimonG4613 the sonG5207 of 2324JohnG2491G2495; you shall be calledG2564 25CephasG2786” (whichG3739 is translatedG2059 2627PeterG4074).

4328The nextG1887 dayG1887 He purposedG2309 to goG1831 into 29GalileeG1056, and He foundG2147 30PhilipG5376. And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “31FollowG190 Me.” 44NowG1161 32PhilipG5376 was from 33BethsaidaG966, of the cityG4172 of AndrewG406 and PeterG4074.
