27 aIt is He who, coming after me,1 is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 These things were done ain Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
The Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! aThe Lamb of God bwho takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who1 is preferred before me, for He was before me.’
31 I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, atherefore I came baptizing with water.”
32 aAnd John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.
33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, athis is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 And I have seen and testified that this is the aSon of God.”
The First Disciples
35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples.
36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, a“Behold the Lamb of God!”
37 The two disciples heard him speak, and they afollowed Jesus.
