John 1:31 in Context — John 1
29 El siguiente día ve Juan á Jesús que venía á él, y dice: He aquí el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo.
30 Este es del que dije: Tras mí viene un varón, el cual es antes de mí: porque era primero que yo.
31 Y yo no le conocía; más para que fuese manifestado á Israel, por eso vine yo bautizando con agua.
32 Y Juan dió testimonio, diciendo: Vi al Espíritu que descendía del cielo como paloma, y reposó sobre él.
33 Y yo no le conocía; mas el que me envió á bautizar con agua, aquél me dijo: Sobre quien vieres descender el Espíritu, y que reposa sobre él, éste es el que bautiza con Espíritu Santo.
