John 1:29
27 He is the One who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 All this happened at Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
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.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
