John 1
9 Ref He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
10 Ref in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
11 Ref to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
12 Ref but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,
13 Ref who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.
14 Ref And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
15 Ref John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
16 Ref and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
17 Ref for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
18 Ref God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.
19 Ref And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?'
20 Ref and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- `I am not the Christ.'
21 Ref And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' -- `The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.'
22 Ref They said then to him, `Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
23 Ref He said, `I `am' a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'
24 Ref And those sent were of the Pharisees,
25 Ref and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'
26 Ref John answered them, saying, `I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,
27 Ref of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.'
28 Ref These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
29 Ref on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
30 Ref this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
