John » Testifies to the messiahship of jesus

he address'd himself to them all, saying, I indeed baptize you with water; but there is one coming, who is superiour to me, whose shoes I am unworthy to untie: he shall baptize you with the holy spirit, under the appearance of fire. and with the fan in his hand he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will lay up the wheat in his grainery: but the chaff he will burn with inextinguishable fire.
John answered them, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye know not; he it is who coming after me, is preferred before me, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose. these things were transacted at Bethabara, near Jordan, where John used to baptize. read more.

I knew him not: but therefore am I come baptizing with water, that he might be manifest to Israel. and John testified, saying, I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. I had not known him: but he that sent me to baptize with water, had told me, "upon whom thou shalt see the spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the holy spirit." this I saw, and testify'd, that he is the son of God. The next day after, John was again there with two of his disciples: and seeing Jesus as he walked, he said, "behold the lamb of God."

who thereupon went to John, and said, master, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, he himself does now baptize likewise, and the people flock to him. but John made them this answer, a man can have no authority, but what he derives from heaven. you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him: the bridegroom is he that hath a right to the bride: as for the friend of the bridegroom, who is nigh his person and heareth him, he greatly rejoyces at the voice of the bridegroom: upon this account my joy is compleat. he must advance, but I must decline. he that cometh from above, is above all: he that is from the earth, is earthly, and his language is likewise earthly: he that cometh from heaven is above all. and what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; but his testimony doth no man receive. he that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true. for he whom God hath sent, saith nothing but what is divine: for God hath given him the spirit without restriction. the father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand. he that believeth on the son, hath a right to everlasting life: and he that disobeys the son, shall not enjoy life; but be expos'd to divine wrath.

and many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but every thing that he said concerning this man, was true.
