John 1:29-42 - The Lamb Of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and exclaimed: "Here is the Lamb of God, who is to take away the sin of the world! 30 It was of him that I spoke when I said 'After me there is coming a man who is now before me, for he was ever First.' 31 I myself did not know him, but, that he may be made known to Israel, I have come, baptizing with water."
32 John also made this statement--"I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of the heavens, and it remained upon him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him--he it is who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' 34 This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God."
35 The next day, when John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 He looked at Jesus as he passed and exclaimed: "There is the Lamb of God!"
37 The two disciples heard him say this, and followed Jesus. 38 But Jesus turned round, and saw them following. "What are you looking for?" he asked. "Rabbi," they answered (or, as we should say, "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"
39 "Come, and you shall see," he replied. So they went, and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was then about four in the afternoon.
40 One of the two, who heard what John said and followed Jesus, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: "We have found the Messiah!" (a word which means 'Christ,' or 'Consecrated'.) 42 Then he brought him to Jesus. Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas" (which means 'Peter,' or 'Rock').
