32 And John testified, “I watched the Spirit(H) descending from heaven like a dove, and He rested on Him.(I) 33 I didn’t know Him, but He[f] who sent me to baptize with[g] water told me, ‘The One you see the Spirit descending and resting on—He is the One who baptizes with[h] the Holy Spirit.’(J) 34 I have seen and testified that He is the Son of God!”[i](K)
35 Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look! The Lamb of God!”
