The Lamb of God, taking away the sin of the world! 30 This is He about whom I said, After me comes a Man who has been before me, for He was preceding me. 31 And I did not know Him; but that He be revealed to Israel, for this reason I came baptizing in water. 32 And John witnessed, saying, I have seen the Spirit coming down as a dove out of Heaven, and He abode on Him. 33 And I did not know Him, but the One sending me to baptize in water, that One said to me, On whomever you see the Spirit coming down and abiding on Him, this is the One baptizing in the Holy Spirit. 34 And I have seen and have witnessed that this One is the Son of God. 35 Again on the morrow, John and two from his disciples stood. 36 And looking at Jesus walking, he said, Behold, the Lamb of God!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I knew him not,.... That is, before he came to be baptized by him; when it was secretly suggested to him who he was, and the following signal was given him, to confirm him in it:
but he that sent me to baptize with water; or "in water"; that is, God; for John's mission was from God, as in John 1:6, and his baptism from heaven; he had a divine warrant and commission for what he did:
the same said unto me; either by an articulate voice, or by a divine impulse on his mind, or by the revelation of the Spirit:
upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him,
the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost; that is, the Messiah; John 1:6- :,
John 1:6- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The same said ... - This was the sign by which he was to know the Messiah. He was to see the Spirit descending like a dove and abiding on him. It does not follow, however, that he had no intimation before this that Jesus was the Christ, but it means that by this he should know it infallibly. From Matthew 3:13-14, it seems that John supposed, before the baptism of Jesus, that he claimed to be the Messiah, and, that he believed it; but the infallible, certain testimony in the case was the descent of the Holy Spirit on him at his baptism.
That this is the Son of God - This was distinctly declared by a voice from heaven at his baptism, Matthew 3:17. This John heard, and he testified that he had heard it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. He that sent me - said unto me — From this we may clearly perceive that John had a most intimate acquaintance with the Divine Being; and received not only his call and mission at first, but every subsequent direction, by immediate, unequivocal inspiration. Who is fit to proclaim Jesus, but he who has continual intercourse with God; who is constantly receiving light and life from Christ their fountain; who bears a steady, uniform testimony to Jesus, even in the presence of his enemies; and who at all times abases himself, that Jesus alone may be magnified! Reformation of manners, and salvation of souls, will accompany such a person's labours whithersoever he goeth.
