John 1:29-34 Translation

29. The next day (maybe more literately, "On the morrow")  he saw Jesus coming to him and he said, "Behold the lamb of God who takes up the sin of the world." Raymond plays this "lamb of God" as either apocalyptic of Revelation ilk, or suffering servant of Isaiah ilk and pascal lamb. It is a great read if you can put your hands on it. It is The Anchor Bible, Vol. 29, p. 58-63.
30. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is preferred before me: for he was before me.  I had trouble with this verse. I went to the KJV to get a little help.  Did anyone else translate differently?
31. I did not know him, but that he might be shown or manifested to Israel, I came baptizing with (in) water. The NA27th NT shows textual problems with "en". But it seems to be minor unless you want to argue for "in the water" as opposed to "with the water".  The greater theological debate about this scripture is why Christ allowed John to baptize him for the forgiveness of sin?  Thoughts? It is interesting to me that Jesus is Baptized at Bethany - which means "house of obedience". "oti" used as a direct quote. 
32. And John testified saying, "I saw the spirit coming down out of heaven as a dove and remaining on Him." teqe√amai - qe√aomai- This is the perfect middle, notice the te reduplication of  qe meaning to see.
Used in the NT about 22 times.
33. And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize in/with water, that one said to me, on whom you will see the spirit descending on and remaining on him, this is the one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.
34. And I saw and have borne witness that this one is the son of God. Variant reading on "son of God" see NA27th at bottom. If you ever get Bruce Metzger's book A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, it gives a behind the scenes look at why the "Committee" decided on any particular reading. He says about this one that "on basis of age and diversity of witnesses a majority of the Committee preferred the reading ho huios, which is also in harmony with the theological terminology of the Fourth Evangelist."
