John 1:32

Jesus the Lamb of God

31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.33I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
