Evangélium szent János Apostol kőnyvéből
!John 1:29-34
Azon időben János amikor látta, hogy Jézus feléje tart, így szólt: „Nézzétek, az Isten Báránya! Ő veszi el a világ bűneit. És így tovább.

Homily by St Austin, Bishop (of Hippo.)
!6th Tract on John.
John knew Jesus even before He came to be baptized of him in Jordan, as we perceive by the words I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest Thou to me? Behold, how he knew that He was the Lord, how he knew that He was the Son of God! How do we prove that he knew that He it was Who should baptize with the Holy Ghost? Before the Lord came to the river, when many betook themselves to John to be baptized of him, the Baptist said I indeed baptize you with water but One Mightier than I cometh; the latchet of Whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. (Luke iii. 16.) Behold, John knew this also.
