Yochanan 1:19-34

And this is the solemn edut (testimony) of Yochanan, when those of Yehudah sent kohanim and L'viim from Yerushalayim to him that they might ask him, Mi atah? (Who are you?). Yochanan made hoda'a (confession, admission) — he did not fail to make hoda'a — and said clearly, I am not the Melech HaMoshiach. And they asked Yochanan, What, then? Are you Eliyahu HaNavi? And Yochanan says, I am not. Are you the Navi? And he answered, Lo (No). They said then to him, Mi atah? That we may give a teshuvah (answer) to the ones who sent us. What do you say about yourself? Yochanan said, I am a KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR, make straight the DERECH HASHEM! as Yeshayah HaNavi said. And the ones that had been sent were of the Perushim. And the Perushim asked Yochanan, If you are not the [Rebbe], Melech HaMoshiach nor Eliyahu nor the Navi, then why do you administer the mikveh mayimʼs tevilah? Yochanan answered the Perushim, I give a tevilah in a mikveh mayim; among you is standing one of whom you do not have da'as. Hu HaBah (he who comes), that is, He who comes after me, is one that I am not worthy even to untie the thong of his sandal. These events took place in Beit-Anyah (Bethany), beyond the Yarden River, which Yochanan was using as a mikveh mayim in which to administer the tevilah. On the next day, Yochanan sees Yehoshua coming to him, and Yochanan says, Hinei! The Seh HaElohim, the one carrying away the avonot HaOlam Hazeh (sins of this world). This is he about whom I said, After me comes an ISH who is really before me in priority, because, before I came to be, he was. And I did not recognize him, but that he might be manifested to Klal Yisroel, I came, therefore, administering the mikveh mayimʼs tevilah. And Yochanan gave solemn edut, I have seen the Ruach Hakodesh descending like a yonah out of Shomayim and remaining upon him. And I did not recognize him, but the One who sent me to give the mikveh mayimʼs tevilah said to me, Upon whomever you see the Ruach Hakodesh descending and remaining, this is the One giving the tevilah in the Ruach Hakodesh. And I have seen and I have given solemn edut (testimony) that this One is the Ben HaElohim.
