John 1:15-30

15JohnG2491 testifiedG3140 concerningG4012 HimG846. He cried outG2896, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is HeG1510 of whomG3739 I saidG2036, ‘He whoG3588 comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 hasG1096 surpassedG1715 meG1473 becauseG3754 He wasG1510 beforeG4413 meG1473.’”

FromG1537 HisG846 fullnessG4138 weG1473 have allG3956 receivedG2983 graceG5485 uponG473 graceG5485. 17ForG3754 theG3588 lawG3551 was givenG1325 throughG1223 MosesG3475; graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 18No oneG3762 has ever seenG3708G4455 GodG2316, but the one and only SonG3439, who is Himself GodG2316 and1 isG1510 atG1519 theG3588 Father’sG3588G3962 sideG2859,2 has made Him knownG1834.

19AndG2532 thisG3778 wasG1510 John’sG3588G2491 testimonyG3141 whenG3753 theG3588 JewsG2453 ofG1537 JerusalemG2414 sentG649 priestsG2409 andG2532 LevitesG3019 toG2443 askG2065 himG846, “WhoG5101 areG1510 youG4771?” 20He did not refuse to confessG3670G2532G3756G720, butG2532 openly declaredG3670, “IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547.”

21“ThenG3767 whoG5101 are you?” they inquiredG2065G846. “AreG1510 youG4771 ElijahG2243?”

He saidG3004, “I amG1510 notG3756.”

“AreG1510 youG4771 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

He answeredG611, “NoG3756.”

22SoG3767 they saidG2036 to himG846, “WhoG5101 are youG1510? We needG2443G1325 an answerG612 for thoseG3588 who sentG3992 usG1473. WhatG5101 do you sayG3004 aboutG4012 yourselfG4572?”

23John repliedG5346 inG2531 the words ofG2036 IsaiahG2268 theG3588 prophetG4396:

24ThenG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 who had been sentG649G1510G1537 25askedG2065 himG846, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 do you baptizeG907, ifG1487 youG4771 areG1510 notG3756 theG3588 ChristG5547, norG3761 ElijahG2243, norG3761 theG3588 ProphetG4396?”

26“IG1473 baptizeG907 withG17224 waterG5204,” JohnG2491 repliedG611G846G3004, “but amongG3319 youG4771 standsG2476 One youG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492. 27He is the One whoG3588 comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473, theG3588 strapsG2438 of whoseG3739 sandalsG5266 IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 toG2443 untieG3089.”

28All thisG3778 happenedG1096 atG1722 BethanyG963 beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptizingG907.

29TheG3588 next dayG1887 John sawG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 towardG4314 himG846 andG2532 saidG3004, “LookG2400, theG3588 LambG286 of GodG2316, whoG3588 takes awayG142 theG3588 sinG266 of theG3588 worldG2889! 30This isG1510 HeG3778 ofG5228 whomG3739 IG1473 saidG2036, ‘A manG435 who comesG2064 afterG3694 meG1473 hasG1096 surpassedG1715 meG1473 becauseG3754 He wasG1510 beforeG4413 meG1473.’
