The Lamb of God

29 On the next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained upon him. 33 I myself did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon whom yoʋ see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen it and can testify that this is the [fn]Son of God.”
