John 1:29-34

29On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

30This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’

31I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”

32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.

33And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining – this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

34I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God.”
