John 1:19-36

19ThisG3778 is 1the testimonyG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 2the JewsG2453 sentG649 priestsG2409 and LevitesG3019 to him 3from JerusalemG2414 to askG2065 him, “WhoG5101 are you?” 20And he confessedG3670 and did not denyG720; and this is what he confessedG3670: “4I amG1510 not the 5ChristG5547.” 21And so they askedG2065 him, “WhatG5101 thenG3767? Are you 6ElijahG2243?” And he saidG3004, “I amG1510 not.” “Are you 7the ProphetG4396?” And he answeredG611, “NoG3756.” 22ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “WhoG5101 are you? Tell us, soG2443 thatG2443 we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to thoseG3588 who sentG3992 us. WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?” 23He saidG5346, “I am 8the voiceG5456 of one callingG994 9outG994 in the wildernessG2048, ‘MakeG2116 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962 straightG2116,’ as IsaiahG2268 the prophetG4396 saidG3004.”

24And the messengers had beenG1510 sentG649 from the PhariseesG5330. 25They askedG2065 him, and saidG3004 to him, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 are you baptizingG907, ifG1487 you are not the 10ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 11the ProphetG4396?” 26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them, sayingG3004, “12I baptizeG907 13in waterG5204, but amongG3319 you standsG4739 One whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 27It is 14He who comesG2064 afterG3694 me, of whom I amG1510 not worthyG514 even to untieG3089 the 15strapG2438 of His sandalG5266.” 28TheseG3778 thingsG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 in BethanyG963 16beyondG4008 the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 was baptizingG907 people.

29The nextG1887 dayG1887 he sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him, and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 17the LambG286 of GodG2316 who 18takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889! 30ThisG3778 is He inG5228 behalfG5228 of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘19AfterG3694 me is comingG2064 a ManG435 whoG3739 has provedG1096 toG1096 beG1096 20my superiorG1715, 21becauseG3754 He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’ 31And I did not recognizeG3609 22Him, but soG2443 thatG2443 He would be revealedG5319 to IsraelG2474, I cameG2064 baptizingG907 23in waterG5204.” 32And JohnG2491 24testifiedG3140, sayingG3004, “25I have seenG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772, and He remainedG3306 upon Him. 33And I did not recognizeG3609 26Him, but He who sentG3992 me to baptizeG907 27in waterG5204 saidG3004 to me, ‘He upon whomG3739 you seeG3708 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 and remainingG3306 upon Him, 28thisG3778 is the One who baptizesG907 29in the HolyG40 SpiritG4151.’ 34And I myselfG1473 have seenG3708, and have testifiedG3140 that thisG3778 is 30the 31SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

35AgainG3825 32the nextG1887 dayG1887 JohnG2491 was standingG2476 33with twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, 36and he lookedG1689 atG1689 JesusG2424 as He walkedG4043, and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 34the LambG286 of GodG2316!”
