001:029 The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him and exclaimed,
"Look, that is the Lamb of God who is to take away the sin
of the world!
001:030 This is He about whom I said, `After me is to come One who has
been put before me, because He was before me.'
001:031 I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel
is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."
001:032 John also gave testimony by stating: "I have seen the Spirit
coming down like a dove out of Heaven; and it remained upon Him.
001:033 I did not yet know Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water
said to me, "`The One on whom you see the Spirit coming down,
and remaining, He it is who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
001:034 "This I have seen, and I have become a witness that He is
the Son of God."
001:035 Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples,
001:036 when he saw Jesus passing by, and said, "Look! that is
the Lamb of God!"
001:037 The two disciples heard his exclamation, and they followed Jesus.
001:038 Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them,
"What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--`Rabbi'
means `Teacher'--"where are you staying?"
001:039 "Come and you shall see," He said. So they went and saw where He
was staying, and they remained and spent that day with Him.
It was then about ten o'clock in the morning.
001:040 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard
John's exclamation and followed Jesus.
001:041 He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him,
"We have found the Messiah!"--that is to say, the Anointed One.
001:042 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said,
"You are Simon, son of John: you shall be called Cephas"--
