30. He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he was before me;
31. and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.
32. And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
33. And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, he said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with the Holy Spirit.
34. And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God.
