1 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him. 'Look,' he said, 'there is the Lamb of God; it is he who takes away the sin of the world. 1 30 This is he of whom I spoke when I said, "After me a man is coming who takes rank before me"; for before I was born, he already was. 1 31 I myself did not know who he was; but the very reason why I came, baptizing in water, was that he might be revealed to Israel.' 1 32 John testified further: 'I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting upon him. 1 33 I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize in water had told me, "When you see the Spirit coming down upon someone and resting upon him you will know that this is he who is to baptize in Holy Spirit." 1 34 I saw it myself, and I have borne witness. This is God's Chosen One.' Some witnesses read: This is the Son of God.
