I Saw The Spirit Coming Down On HIM, Like A Dove From Heaven, And Resting On HIM

"The next day, John saw JESUS coming toward him, and said, 'There is the Lamb of GOD, who takes away the sin of the world!  It is HE of whom I said: A man comes after me, who is already ahead of me, for HE was before me.  I myself did not know HIM, but I came baptizing to prepare for HIM, so that HE might be revealed in Israel.'
And John also gave this testimony, 'I saw the Spirit coming down on HIM, like a dove from heaven, and resting on HIM.  I myself did not know HIM, but GOD, who sent me to baptize, told me, 'You will see the Spirit coming down, and resting on the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'  Yes, I have seen!  And I declare that this is the Chosen One of GOD!'" - John 1:29-34 
(There is the Lamb.  In the language of the Jews, the word "Lamb" can mean both servant and lamb.  JESUS is the Servant of GOD spoken of by the prophets, who was to sacrifice HIMSELF for HIS brothers and sisters.  HE is also the true Lamb that replaces the Paschal Lamb [Mark 14:12].

A man comes after me.  In history, JESUS appears after John, but being the word of GOD, HE existed before all creatures.  HE also precedes, that is to say, all--including John the Baptist--are guided by HIS light.)
