John 1:19
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?”
John 1:26-27
1:26 John answered them, “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize,
1:27 who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!”
John 1:32-34
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.”
John 1:36
1:36 Gazing at Jesus as he walked by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
John 3:26-36
3:26 So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River,
about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”
3:27 John replied, “No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
3:28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but rather, ‘I have been sent before him.’
3:29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and listens for him, rejoices greatly when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This then is my joy, and it is complete.
3:30 He must become more important while I become less important.”
3:31 The one who comes from above is superior to all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to all.
3:32 He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony.
3:33 The one who has accepted his testimony has confirmed clearly that God is truthful.
3:34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.
3:35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority.
3:36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him.
John 5:33-35
5:33 You have sent to John,
and he has testified to the truth.
5:34 (I do not accept
human testimony, but I say this so that you may be saved.)
5:35 He was a lamp that was burning and shining,
and you wanted to rejoice greatly for a short time
in his light.
Acts 19:4
19:4 Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him,
that is, in Jesus.”
