John 1:6-8
1:6 A man came, sent from God, whose name was John.
1:7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that everyone might believe through him.
1:8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
John 1:15-18
1:15 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.’”
1:16 For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.
1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.
1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known.
