²⁹The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God,^r who takes away the sin of the world!^s ³⁰This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’^t ³¹I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”

³²Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.^u ³³And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water^v told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’^w ³⁴I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”^f^x
