John 1:31-33

EasyEnglish Bible

³¹ I did not know him. But I had to show Israel's people who he was. That is why I am baptizing people with water.’

³² Then John told them, ‘I saw God's Spirit come down from heaven. He came down like a dove and he stayed on Jesus. ³³ I would not have known who Jesus was. But God had sent me to baptize people with water. And God told me, “You will see the Spirit come down. He will stay on someone. That is the person who will baptize people with my Holy Spirit.”
