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 to ask him, Who art thou?
20 he confessed, and denied not; but declared openly, I am not the Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? and he answered, No.
22 Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self?
23 and he said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," according to Esaias the prophet.
24 Now they that were sent, were of the pharisees: 25 and they asked him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor a prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 27 that cometh after me, but is preferred before me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 These things passed at Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming towards him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is preferred before me: for He was before me. 31 And I knew Him not: but therefore came I baptizing with water, that He might be made known to Israel.
32 And John testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it abode upon Him. 33 And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. 34 And I saw it, and therefore testified that this is the Son of God.
