Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle A)

In the reading, upon seeing Jesus, St. John the Baptist refers to Him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. And following the baptism when the Spirit of God descends upon Jesus in the form of a dove from Heaven, St. John the Baptist acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God.
