NHEB(i)
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
