29On 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 of whom I said, ‘aAfter me comes a man who has been 1ahead of me, bfor He existed before me.’ 31“I did not know 1Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing with water.” 32And John abore witness saying, “bI have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He abided on Him. 33“And I did not know 1Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, athis is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34“And I myself have seen, and have borne witness that this is athe Son of God.”
