John 1

19 Ref And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

20 Ref And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 Ref And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

22 Ref Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 Ref He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 Ref And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 Ref And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 Ref John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 Ref He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 Ref These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 Ref The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

30 Ref This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

31 Ref And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32 Ref And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33 Ref 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.

34 Ref And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
