A voice hasn't done its job until it's spoken. Verse number 29, he goes on. He says the next day that John the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, look, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This is the one I meant when I said a man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me. I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel. Then John gave this testimony. This is important. This takes us back to Matthew chapter three where Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist. And here, John recounts the story that something was going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about. He says here in verse number 32 that John gave this testimony. I saw the spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. That jives of what we see in Matthew chapter three. And I 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 come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the holy spirit.
