John the Baptist's vocation was not just to predict the coming of the Messiah, but, as the greatest and the last of the prophets, to point him out, to tell the Jews and the whole world that the Savior had come, and he would take away the sins of the world, the sins of the whole world.
John the Baptist's Testimony to Jesus The next day he sees Jesus coming toward him and says, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
John the Baptist's preaching would implant this faith in his hearers, and in today's reading John (it is typical of him throughout his whole ministry) John downplays his own importance and magnifies the importance of the object of his preaching, Jesus.
