30. This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
31. And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
32. And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
33. 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.
34. And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
35. The next day again John stood, and two of his disciples.
36. And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.
37. And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38. 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?
39. 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.
40. And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard of John, and followed him.
