John 1:19-34 - John The Baptist Testifies To Jesus
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah.
21 And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.
22 Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees. 25 And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known; 27 it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.
28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world, 30 This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed. 31 And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him. 33 And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. 34 And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
