John - ch 1 v 21 - 40
- And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No.
- They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? What sayest thou of thyself?
- He said: I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.
- And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
- And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
- John answered them, saying: I baptize with water; but there hath stood one in the midst of you, whom you know not.
- The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose.
- These things were done in Bethania, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
- The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
- This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
- And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
- And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
- And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
- And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
- The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
- And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
- And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
- And Jesus turning, and seeing them following him, saith to them: What seek you? Who said to him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
- He saith to them: Come and see. They came, and saw where he abode, and they stayed with him that day: now it was about the tenth hour.
- And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
