Then John told of the sign that had been seen at Christ's baptism. "I saw, and bare record," he added, "that this is the Son of God." John 1:29, 34. With awe and wonder the hearers looked upon Jesus. They questioned with themselves, Is this the Christ? They saw that Jesus bore no tokens of worldly wealth or greatness. His clothing was plain and simple, such as poor people wore. But in His pale, worn face was something that moved their hearts.

Johannes fortalte om det tegn, han havde set ved Jesu dåb. "Nu har jeg selv set det" tilføjede han, "og jeg har vidnet: Han er Guds Søn". Joh. 1,29. og 34. Med ærefrygt og forundring så tilhørerne på Jesus og spurgte hverandre: "Er det Messias?" De så ingen tegn på verdslig storhed og rigdom. Hans klædedragt var enkel og jævn som fattigmands. Men i hans blege, udtærede ansigt var der noget, som bevægede deres hjerter.
