He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples.


Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. read more.
And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them: What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou? He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah; (which, when translated, is the Christ;) and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock). The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me. Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph. And Nathaniel said to him: Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see. Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and said of him: Be hold, an Israelite in truth, in whom there is no guile. Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you. Nathaniel answered and said to him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him: Do you believe, be cause I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree? You shall see greater things than these. And he said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, From this time you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.


and he preached, saying: There comes after me One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I immerse you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.


I immerse you in water, in order to repentance; but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: whose winnowing-shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather his grain into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.

John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not. He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose. These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing. read more.
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me. And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water. And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit. And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God. Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God.

And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed; for John had not yet been thrown into prison. There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew, about purification. read more.
And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him. John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven. You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all; and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

There is another that testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he testifies concerning me is worthy of credit. You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.

And many came to him, and said: John did no sign; but all things that John said of this man were true.

And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.


And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, con fessing their sins.

While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan, and were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And you, when you had seen it, after ward felt no regret, that you might believe him.

But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed.

Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they believe that John was a prophet.
