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