14. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15. John bore witness of Him and cried out, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”
16. We have all received from His fullness grace upon grace.
17. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18. No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father’s side, has made Him known.
19. Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20. He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21. They asked him, “Who then? Are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.”“Are you the Prophet?”He answered, “No.”
