The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, \u201d\u02dcAfter me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.\u2019 I myself did not know him; but for this I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.\u201d\u009d And John bore witness, \u201cI saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, \u201d\u02dcHe on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.\u2019 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.\u201d<\/p>\n
