John 1:27–37
27 “It is aHe who comes after me, the bthong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 These things took place in Bethany abeyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day he * saw Jesus coming to him and * said, “Behold, athe Lamb of God who btakes away the sin of the world!
30 “This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘aAfter me comes a Man who 1has a higher rank than I, bfor He existed before me.’
31 “I did not recognize 1Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing 2in water.”
32 John atestified saying, “bI have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.
33 “I did not recognize 1Him, but He who sent me to baptize 2in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, athis is the One who baptizes 2in the Holy Spirit.’
34 “I myself have seen, and have testified that this is athe Son of God.”
Jesus’ Public Ministry, First Converts
35 Again athe next day John was standing 1with two of his disciples,
36 and he looked at Jesus as He walked, and * said, “Behold, athe Lamb of God!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
