John 1:19-34 - John The Baptist Testifies To Jesus
19 And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, and confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 They said therefore to him, Who are thou, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do thou say about thyself?
23 He said, I am the voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of Lord, just as the prophet Isaiah said.
24 And those who were sent were from the Pharisees. 25 And they asked him, and said to him, Why therefore do thou immerse if thou are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I immerse in water, but amidst you stands him whom ye know not. 27 He is the man who comes after me, who has become before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loosen the strap of his shoe.
28 These things occurred in Bethany beyond the Jordan where John was immersing.
29 On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he about whom I said, After me comes a man who has become before me, because he was before me. 31 And I had not known him, but that he would be made known to Israel. Because of this I came immersing in water.
32 And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him. 33 And I had not known him. But he who sent me to immerse in water, he said to me, Upon whomever thou will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who immerses in Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.
