John 1:27–37

²⁷The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.

²⁸These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

³⁰This is he of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.

³¹And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³²And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him.

³³And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

³⁴And I saw: and I gave testimony that this is the Son of God.

³⁵The next day again John stood and two of his disciples.

³⁶And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak: and they followed Jesus.
