John 1:15-30

15(JohnG2491 bears witnessG3140 of him, and he has criedG2896, sayingG3004, This wasG1510 he of whom I saidG3004, He that comesG2064 after me isG1510 preferred before me, for he wasG1510 before me;)

16for of his fulness we all have receivedG2983, and graceG5485 upon graceG5485.

17For the lawG3551 was givenG1325 by MosesG3475: graceG5485 and truthG225 subsists through JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

18No oneG3762 has seenG3708 1GodG2316 at any timeG4455; the only-begotten SonG5207, who isG1510 in the bosomG2859 of the FatherG3962, he hath declared [him].

19And this isG1510 the witnessG3141 of JohnG2491, whenG3753 the JewsG2453 sentG649 from JerusalemG2414 priestsG2409 and Levites that they might askG2065 him, Thou, who art thou?

20And he acknowledged and deniedG720 not, and acknowledged, I amG1510 not the ChristG5547.

21And they askedG2065 him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saysG3004, I amG1510 not. Art thou the prophetG4396? And he answeredG611, No.

22They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 to him, Who art thou? that we may giveG1325 an answerG612 to those who sentG3992 us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23He saidG3004, I [am] [the] voiceG5456 of oneG3588 cryingG994 in the wildernessG2048, Make straight the pathG3598 of [the] LordG2962, as saidG3004 Esaias the prophetG4396.

24And they wereG1510 sentG649 from among the PhariseesG5330.

25And they askedG2065 him and saidG3004 to him, WhyG5101 baptisest thou then, if thou art not the ChristG5547, nor Elias, nor the prophetG4396?

26JohnG2491 answeredG611 them sayingG3004, I baptise with waterG5204. In the midstG3319 of you standsG2476, whom ye do not know,

27he who comesG2064 after me, the thong of whose sandalG5266 I amG1510 not worthyG514 to unloose.

28These thingsG3778 took placeG1096 in BethanyG963, across the JordanG2446, whereG3699 JohnG2491 wasG1510 baptising.

29On the morrow he seesG991 JesusG2424 comingG2064 to him, and saysG3004, BeholdG2396 the LambG286 of 2GodG2316, who takesG142 awayG142 the sinG266 of the worldG2889.

30He it isG1510 of whom I saidG3004, A manG435 comesG2064 after me who takes a placeG1096 before me, because he wasG1510 before me;
