John 1:32 in context

The verses around it, from John 1.

28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

30 This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

32 Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

33 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 descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

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

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples.

36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
