вЂњI am вЂthe voice of one crying out in the desert, qДў5They asked him, вЂњWhy then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah or Elijah or the Prophet?вЂќ r 26John answered them, вЂњI baptize with water * but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, s 27the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.вЂќДў8This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, * where John was baptizing. When the Jews * from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, вЂњWho are you?вЂќДў0 * he admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, o вЂњI am not the Messiah.вЂќДў1So they asked him, вЂњWhat are you then? Are you Elijah?вЂќ * And he said, вЂњI am not.вЂќ вЂњAre you the Prophet?вЂќ He answered, вЂњNo.вЂќ p 22So they said to him, вЂњWho are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?вЂќ The only Son, God, * who is at the FatherвЂ™s side, has revealed him. hДЎ2 i But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name,ДЎ3 * j who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a manвЂ™s decision but of God.ДЎ5 * John testified to him and cried out, saying, вЂњThis was he of whom I said, l вЂThe one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.вЂ™вЂќДЎ6From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, * 17because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. g 9The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

f 8He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. e 7He came for testimony, * to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. And this life was the light of the human race cД¦ * A man named John was sent from God.
