John 1:26-34
New American Standard Bible
26 John answered them, saying, “(A)I baptize [a]in water, but among you stands One whom you do not know. 27 It is (B)He who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy even to untie the (C)strap of His sandal.” 28 These things took place in Bethany (D)beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing people.
29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him, and *said, “Behold, (E)the Lamb of God who (F)takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘(G)After me is coming a Man who has proved to be [b]my superior, (H)because He existed before me.’ 31 And I did not recognize [c]Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing [d]in water.” 32 And John (I)testified, saying, “(J)I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 And I did not recognize [e]Him, but He who sent me to baptize [f]in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, (K)this is the One who baptizes [g]in the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is (L)the [h]Son of God.”
