Jn 1:32b-34b ... And testifies John saying, "That I have seen the Spirit descending, like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. And I not did recognize him, but the One having sent me to baptize in water, that one said to me, 'upon whom ever you see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is the One baptizing in a Holy Spirit.' And I have seen and I have testified, that this one is the Son of God"

Verses 32-34 have twelve phrases containing these 4 narrator and 56 dialog words that form this maximum large size 60 word testimony.

Verse 32a began with a 4 narrator word statement that John was about to testify. The next two verses then contained 45 dialog words of testimony describing what John saw. Amazingly, John's 45 words in verse 33 was the perfect number of words to fill the earth and the same number of words as his two prior testimonies. John as author and witness made this 4 narrator and 4 dialog word inclusio to bracket the 45 words of John's testimony in verses 32-33 ... Kai emarturēsen Iōannēs legōn, Kagō heōraka, kai memarturēka (And testified John saying, and I have seen and I have testified, ...) Verse 34a ended the testimony with 11 dialog words about what John saw and testified.
