The Word Becomes Flesh
14 aAnd the Word bbecame cflesh and dwelt among us, and dwe beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, efull of grace and truth.
15 aJohn bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, b‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, cfor He was before me.’ ”
16 And of His afullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For athe law was given through Moses, but bgrace and ctruth came through Jesus Christ.
18 aNo one has seen God at any time. bThe only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

20 aHe confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you athe Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
23 He said: a“I am
b‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
b‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Make straight the way of the Lord,” ’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Now those who were sent were from the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
