14. The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15. Yochanan testified about him. He cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.’”
16. From his fullness we all received grace upon grace.
17. For the Torah was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Yeshua the Messiah.
18. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him.
19. This is Yochanan’s testimony, when the Judeans sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20. He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Messiah.”
21. They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”He said, “I am not.”“Are you the prophet?”He answered, “No.”
22. They said therefore to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
