15. John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16. For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19. And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20. And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
