John 1:29-42 - The Lamb Of God

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.

35 Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples. 36 And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus having turned, and having seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which says, being interpreted, Teacher), where do thou dwell?

39 He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him. 41 This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And having seen him, Jesus said, Thou are Simon the son of Jonah. Thou will be called Cephas (which is interpreted, Peter).
