John 1:29-34
\n29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, \u201cHere is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, \u2018After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.\u2019 31 I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.\u201d 32 And John testified, \u201cI saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, \u2018He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.\u2019 34 And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.\u201d
