   ¹⁵¶ John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

   ¹⁶And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

   ¹⁷For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

   ¹⁸No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

   ¹⁹¶ And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

   ²⁰And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

   ²¹And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

   ²²Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

   ²³He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

   ²⁴And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

   ²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

   ²⁶John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

   ²⁷He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

   ²⁹¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

   ³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

   ³¹And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

   ³²And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

   ³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

   ³⁴And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

   ²⁶And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

   ²⁷John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

   ²⁸Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

   ²⁹He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

   ³⁰He must increase, but I must decrease.

   ³¹He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

   ³²And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

   ³³He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

   ³⁴For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

   ³⁵The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

   ³⁶He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
