John 1:28

First Nations Version

These things took place in House of Figs (Bethany) on the far side of the river Flowing Down (Jordan). The tribes of Wrestles with Creator (Israel) performed a ceremony every year where a lamb was killed and then ceremonially eaten. This was to remind them of the time when the Great Spirit set them free from their slavery to the ruler of Black Land (Egypt) and took them to a new land.
