John 1:31 in Context — John 1

29 O dia seguinte viu João a Jesus vir a ele, e disse: Eis o Cordeiro de Deus, que tira o pecado do mundo.

30 Este é aquele do qual eu disse: Após mim vem um homem que já foi antes de mim; porque já era primeiro que eu.

31 E eu não o conhecia; mas para que fosse manifesto a Israel, por isso vim eu batizando com água.

32 E João testemunhou, dizendo: Eu vi o Espírito como pomba descer do céu, e repousou sobre ele.

33 E eu não o conhecia, mas aquele que me mandou a batizar com água, esse me disse: Sobre aquele que vires descer ao Espírito, e repousar sobre ele, esse é o que batiza com Espírito Santo.
