John 1:19-20
The Testimony of John the Baptist
1:19 Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
1:20 He confessed – he did not deny but confessed – “I am not the Christ!”
John 1:27
1:27 who is coming after me. I am not worthy
to untie the strap
of his sandal!”
John 1:29-35
1:29 On the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
1:30 This is the one about whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’
1:31 I did not recognize him, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
1:32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it remained on him.
1:33 And I did not recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining – this is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
1:34 I have both seen and testified that this man is the Chosen One of God.”
1:35 Again the next day John was standing there with two of his disciples.
