15 G2491 John G3140 beareth witness G4012 of G846 him, G2532 and G2896 crieth, G3004 saying, G3778 This G2258 was G3739 he of whom G2036 I said, G3588 He that G2064 cometh G3694 after G3450 me G1096 is become G1715 before G3450 me: G3754 for G2258 he was G4413 before G3450 me.

16 G2532 For G1537 of G846 his G4138 fulness G2983 G2249 we G3956 all G2983 received, G2532 and G5485 grace G473 for G5485 grace.

17 G3754 For G3551 the law G1325 was given G1223 through G3475 Moses; G5485 grace G2532 and G225 truth G1096 came G1223 through G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

18 G3762 No man G3708 hath seen G2316 God G4455 at any time; G3439 the only begotten G5207 Son, G3588 who G5607 is G1519 in G2859 the bosom G3962 of the Father, G1565 he G1834 hath declared him.

19 G2532 And G3778 this G2076 is G3141 the witness G2491 of John, G3753 when G2453 the Jews G649 sent G1537 unto him from G2414 Jerusalem G2409 priests G2532 and G3019 Levites G2443 to G2065 ask G846 him, G5101 Who G1488 art G4771 thou?

20 G2532 And G3670 he confessed, G2532 and G720 denied G3756 not; G2532 and G3670 he confessed, G1473 I G1510 am G3756 not G3754 the Christ.

21 G2532 And G2065 they asked G846 him, G5101 What G3767 then? G1488 Art G4771 thou G2243 Elijah? G2532 And G3004 he saith, G1510 I am G3756 not. G1488 Art G4771 thou G4396 the prophet? G2532 And G611 he answered, G3756 No.

22 G2036 They G3767 said therefore G846 unto him, G5101 Who G1488 art thou? G2443 that G1325 we may give G612 an answer G3588 to them G3992 that sent G2248 us. G5101 What G3004 sayest thou G4012 of G4572 thyself?

23 G5346 He said, G1473 I G5456 am the voice G994 of one crying G1722 in G2048 the wilderness, G2116 Make straight G3598 the way G2962 of the Lord, G2531 as G2036 said G2268 Isaiah G4396 the prophet.
