New King James Version
33 You have sent to John, (A)and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and (B)shining lamp, and (C)you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But (D)I have a greater witness than John’s; for (E)the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very (F)works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, (A)to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all (B)are coming to Him!”
27 John answered and said, (C)“A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, (D)‘I am not the Christ,’ but, (E)‘I have been sent before Him.’ 29 (F)He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but (G)the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 (H)He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 (I)He who comes from above (J)is above all; (K)he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. (L)He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And (M)what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony (N)has certified that God is true. 34 (O)For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit (P)by measure. 35 (Q)The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 (R)He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the (S)wrath of God abides on him.”

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! (B)The Lamb of God (C)who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who [a]is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ 31 I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, (D)therefore I came baptizing with water.”
32 (E)And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, (F)this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and testified that this is the (G)Son of God.”

John Baptizes Jesus(A)
13 (B)Then Jesus came (C)from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 (D)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and [a]He saw (E)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 (F)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, (G)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
