John:1:15-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
John bare witness (
5719 )
of him ,
and cried (
5754 ),
saying (
5723 ),
This was he (
5713 )
of whom I spake (
5627 ),
He that cometh (
5740 )
after me is preferred (
5754 )
before me :
for he was (
5713 )
before me .
*
And of his fulness have all we received (
5627 ),
and grace for grace .
*
For the law was given (
5681 )
by Moses ,
but grace and truth came (
5633 )
by Jesus Christ .
*
No man hath seen (
5758 )
God at any time ;
the only begotten Son ,
which is (
5752 )
in the bosom of the Father ,
he hath declared (
5662 )
him .
*
And this is (
5748 )
the record of John ,
when the Jews sent (
5656 )
priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask (
5661 )
him ,
Who art (
5748 )
thou ?
*
And he confessed (
5656 ),
and denied (
5662 )
not ;
but confessed (
5656 ),
I am (
5748 )
not the Christ .
*
And they asked (
5656 )
him ,
What then ?
Art (
5748 )
thou Elias ?
And he saith (
5719 ),
I am (
5748 )
not .
Art (
5748 )
thou that prophet ?
And he answered (
5662 ),
No .
*
Then said they (
5627 )
unto him ,
Who art thou (
5748 )?
that we may give (
5632 )
an answer to them that sent (
5660 )
us .
What sayest thou (
5719 )
of thyself ?
*
He said (
5713 ),
I am the voice of one crying (
5723 )
in the wilderness ,
Make straight (
5657 )
the way of the Lord ,
as said (
5627 )
the prophet Esaias .
