[15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This of whom I spake, He that cometh after is preferred before for before [16] And of his fulness all received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten which in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [19] And this the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who thou? [20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. [21] And they asked him, What then? thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. thou that prophet? And he answered, No. [22] Then said they unto him, Who that we may give an answer to them that sent What sayest thou of thyself? [23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. [24] And they which were sent of the Pharisees. [25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou not that Christ, Elias, that prophet? [26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: there standeth one among whom know not; [27] He who coming after whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. [28] were done in beyond Jordan, where John baptizing. [29] The next day seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. [30] This whom I said, After cometh a man which is preferred before for before [31] And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore I come baptizing with water. [32] And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven a dove, and it abode upon him. [33] And I knew him not: but he that sent to baptize with water, the same said Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. [34] And I saw, and bare record that this the Son of God.
