  • John 1:6-8 : 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. 8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
  • John 1:15-27 : 15 John testified about Him and cried out, saying, 'This is the one I spoke about when I said, “He who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.”' 16 From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the one and only Son, who is in the closest relationship with the Father, has made Him known. 19 This is the testimony of John when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, 'Who are you?' 20 He confessed and did not deny, but confessed, 'I am not the Christ.' 21 They asked him, 'Then who are you? Are you Elijah?' He said, 'I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' He answered, 'No.' 22 So they said to him, 'Who are you? Tell us so we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?' 23 He replied, 'I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, “Make straight the way for the Lord,” as the prophet Isaiah said.' 24 Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, 'Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?' 26 John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know.' 27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.
  • John 1:29-34 : 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' 30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, “A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.” 31 I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel. 32 Then John testified, saying, 'I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on Him.' 33 I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The one on whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining is the One who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34 I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.
  • John 3:26-36 : 26 So they came to John and said to him, 'Rabbi, the one who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified—look, He is baptizing, and everyone is coming to Him.' 27 John replied, 'No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.' 28 'You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’ 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and listens to him, rejoices greatly at the sound of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 31 The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony. 33 Whoever accepts His testimony certifies that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. 36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. But the one who disobeys the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.
