24 The priests and Levites sent by the Pharisees25 asked him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you're not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”

26 John replied, “I baptize with water, but standing among you is someone you don't know.27 He is coming after me, but I am not even worthy to untie his sandals.”28 This all happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John saw Jesus approaching him, and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man who is coming after me is more important than me, for before I ever existed he already was.’31 I didn't know myself who he was, but I came baptizing with water so that he could be revealed to Israel.”
