John 1:29-42

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 inG5228 behalfG5228 of whomG3739 I saidG3004, ‘3AfterG3694 me is comingG2064 a ManG435 whoG3739 has provedG1096 toG1096 beG1096 4my superiorG1715, 5becauseG3754 He existedG1510 beforeG4413 me.’ 31And I did not recognizeG3609 6Him, but soG2443 thatG2443 He would be revealedG5319 to IsraelG2474, I cameG2064 baptizingG907 7in waterG5204.” 32And JohnG2491 8testifiedG3140, sayingG3004, “9I have seenG2300 the SpiritG4151 descendingG2597 as a doveG4058 out of heavenG3772, and He remainedG3306 upon Him. 33And I 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.’ 34And I myselfG1473 have seenG3708, and have testifiedG3140 that thisG3778 is 14the 15SonG5207 of GodG2316.”

35AgainG3825 16the nextG1887 dayG1887 JohnG2491 was standingG2476 17with twoG1417 of his disciplesG3101, 36and he lookedG1689 atG1689 JesusG2424 as He walkedG4043, and saidG3004, “BeholdG2396, 18the LambG286 of GodG2316!” 37And the twoG1417 disciplesG3101 heardG191 him speakG2980, and they followedG190 JesusG2424. 38And JesusG2424 turnedG4762 and sawG2300 them followingG190, and saidG3004 to them, “WhatG5101 are you seekingG2212?” They saidG3004 to Him, “19RabbiG4461 (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; it was aboutG5613 the 20tenthG1182 hourG5610. 4021OneG1520 of the twoG1417 who heardG191 JohnG2491 speak, and followedG190 Him, was AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’sG4074 brotherG80. 41He firstG4413 foundG2147 his ownG2398 brotherG80 SimonG4613 and saidG3004 to him, “We have foundG2147 the 22MessiahG3323” (whichG3739 translatedG3177 meansG1510 23ChristG5547). 42He broughtG71 him to JesusG2424. JesusG2424 lookedG1689 atG1689 him and saidG3004, “You are SimonG4613 the sonG5207 of 2425JohnG2491G2495; you shall be calledG2564 26CephasG2786” (whichG3739 is translatedG2059 2728PeterG4074).
