We saw his glory– the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father. 15 John testified about him and shouted out,“This one was the one about whom I said,‘He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’” 16 For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known. 19 The Testimony of John the Baptist Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him,“Who are you?” 20 He confessed– he did not deny but confessed–“I am not the Christ!” 21 So they asked him,“Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said,“I am not!”“Are you the Prophet?” He answered,“No!” 22 Then they said to him,“Who are you? Tell us so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 John said,“I am the voice of one shouting in the wilderness,‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” 24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 So they asked John,“Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them,“I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize, 27 who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal!” 28 These things happened in Bethany across the Jordan River where John was baptizing. 29 On 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 about whom I said,‘After me comes a man who is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’

    3When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple courts, he asked them for money.

    4Peter looked directly at him(as did John) and said,“Look at us!”

    5So the lame man paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.

    6But Peter said,“I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, stand up and walk!”

    7Then Peter took hold of him by the right hand and raised him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.

    8He jumped up, stood and began walking around, and he entered the temple courts with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

    9All the people saw him walking and praising God,

    10and they recognized him as the man who used to sit and ask for donations at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with astonishment and amazement at what had happened to him.

    11Peter Addresses the Crowd While the man was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway called Solomon’s Portico.
