And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

Und ich kannte ihn nicht; aber der mich sandte, zu taufen mit Wasser, der sprach zu mir: Auf welchen du sehen wirst den Geist herabfahren und auf ihm bleiben, der ist's, der mit dem heiligen Geist tauft.
Y yo no le conocía; mas el que me envió a bautizar con agua, aquél me dijo: Sobre quien vieres descender el Espíritu, y que reposa sobre Él, éste es el que bautiza con Espíritu Santo.
Je ne le connaissais pas, mais celui qui m'a envoyé baptiser d'eau, celui-là m'a dit: Celui sur qui tu verras l'Esprit descendre et s'arrêter, c'est celui qui baptise du Saint-Esprit.
E quant’è a me, io nol conosceva; ma colui che mi ha mandato a battezzar con acqua mi avea detto: Colui sopra il quale tu vedrai scender lo Spirito, e fermarsi, è quel che battezza con lo Spirito Santo.
E eu não o conhecia, mas o que me mandou a batizar com água, esse me disse: Sobre aquele que vires descer o Espírito, e sobre ele repousar, esse é o que batiza com o Espírito Santo.
我先前不認識他,可是那差我來用水施洗的對我說:『你看見聖靈降下來,停留在誰的身上,誰就是用聖靈施洗的。』
