His winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse the threshing-floor. He will store his wheat in the granary, but will burn up the chaff in unquenchable fire." At that very time Jesus was on his way from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. read more.

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said: "Behold, that is God's Lamb, who takes and bears away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes One who has been put before me, for he was before me.' I myself did not recognize him; I only came baptizing in water, in order that he might be openly shown to Israel." read more.
John also bore this testimony, saying. "I saw the Spirit like a dove descend from heaven and rest upon him.

This I have seen, and I am become a witness to the fact that he is the Son of God."

But when John saw that many of the Pharisees and Sadducees were coming for baptism, he said: "O brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

He acknowledged??e did not deny it??ut acknowledged, "I am not the Christ." "What then?" they questioned; "Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" "No," he replied. read more.

"Rabbi, see! The man who was with you on the other side of Jordan, and to whom you yourself have borne testimony, is now baptizing, and everybody is coming to him." In reply John said: "A man cannot obtain anything unless it has been granted to him from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.' He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. So then this joy of mine has now complete fulfilment. He must increase, but I must decrease. "He that comes from above is above all; but one who is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from heaven is above all. He bears testimony to what he has heard and seen, yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever does receive it has set his seal that God is true. For he whom God sent utters the words of God; for God does not give the Spirit sparingly. the Father loves the Son and has committed everything into his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but he who disobeys the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him."

"Another bears testimony to me, and I know that the testimony which he bears concerning me is valid. "You yourselves sent to John, and he has been and is a witness to the truth.
