43:001:025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
43:001:026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
43:001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
43:001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
43:001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
43:001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
43:001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
43:001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
43:001:033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
43:001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
