John 1:29 CPDV

²⁷  The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.'

²⁸  These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁹  On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: 'Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he who takes away the sin of the world.

³⁰  This is the one about whom I said, 'After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.'

³¹  And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.'
