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.
