John 1:31

31 I myself did not know who he was, but the reason I came immersing with water was so that he might be made known to Isra'el."

John 1:31 In-Context

29 The next day, Yochanan saw Yeshua coming toward him and said, "Look! God's lamb! The one who is taking away the sin of the world!

30 This is the man I was talking about when I said, `After me is coming someone who has come to rank above me, because he existed before me.'

31 I myself did not know who he was, but the reason I came immersing with water was so that he might be made known to Isra'el."

32 Then Yochanan gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and remaining on him.

33 I myself did not know who he was, but the one who sent me to immerse in water said to me, `The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is the one who immerses in the Ruach HaKodesh.'
