John 1:26-39

²⁶John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.

²⁷The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.

²⁸These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.

³⁰This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.

³¹And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

³²And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.

³³And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

³⁴And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.

³⁵The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.

³⁶And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

³⁸And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

³⁹He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
