Gospel John 1:29-34

29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold,‡ 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 is preferred before me, for he was before me.'

31 I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptising in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."

32 John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.

33 I didn't recognise him, but he who sent me to baptise in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptises in the Holy Spirit.'

34 I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."


‡1:29: "Behold", from "?δο?", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

Isaiah 49:3, 5-6

3 He said to me, "You are my servant;

Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

5 Now the LORD says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob again to him,

and to gather Israel to him,

for I am honourable in the LORD's eyes,

and my God has become my strength.

6 Indeed, he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob,

and to restore the preserved of Israel?

I will also give you as a light to the nations,

that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth."

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 to the assembly of God which is at Corinth; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
