Gospel 1-13-24. John 1:29-34. Commemoration of the Baptism of Christ.
The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him, and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who taketh away the sin of the world.
Altera die vidit Joannes Jesum venientem ad se, et ait : Ecce agnus Dei, ecce qui tollit peccatum mundi.
30 This is he, of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me.
Hic est de quo dixi : Post me venit vir qui ante me factus est : quia prior me erat :
31 And I knew him not, but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
et ego nesciebam eum, sed ut manifestetur in Israel, propterea veni ego in aqua baptizans.
32 And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven, and he remained upon him.
Et testimonium perhibuit Joannes, dicens : Quia vidi Spiritum descendentem quasi columbam de caelo, et mansit super eum.
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
Et ego nesciebam eum : sed qui misit me baptizare in aqua, ille mihi dixit : Super quem videris Spiritum descendentem, et manentem super eum, hic est qui baptizat in Spiritu Sancto.
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony, that this is the Son of God.
Et ego vidi : et testimonium perhibui quia hic est Filius Dei.
