I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

 In this same section from John 1:19 to John 2:11 the Fourth Gospel gives us three different kinds of witness to the greatness and the uniqueness of Jesus. (i) There is the witness of John the Baptist ( John 1:19-34). (ii) There is the witness of those who accepted Jesus as their Master, and who became his disciples ( John 1:41-51). (iii) There is the witness of Jesus' own wonderful powers ( John 2:1-11). John is setting Jesus before us in three different contexts, and in each showing us his supreme wonder.
