26 John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don`t know,
27 he who comes after me, whose sandal strap I`m not worthy to untie."
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 On the next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.`
31 I didn`t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
