John 1:29-42

21st Century King James Version

²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!

³⁰ This is He of whom I said, ‘After me cometh a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.’

³¹ And I knew Him not; but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore have I come baptizing with water.”

³² And John bore record, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and It abode upon Him.

³³ 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 that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.’

³⁴ And I saw and bore record that this is the Son of God.”

³⁵ Again the next day John stood with two of his disciples,

³⁶ and looking upon Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

³⁷ And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.

³⁸ Then Jesus turned and saw them following, and said unto them, “What seek ye?” They said unto Him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, “Master”), “where dwellest Thou?”

³⁹ He said unto them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where He dwelt and stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

⁴¹ He first found his own brother Simon and said unto him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is, being interpreted, “the Christ”).

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, He said, “Thou art Simon, the son of Jonah. Thou shalt be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, “a stone”).
