10. in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
11. to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
12. but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God--to those believing in his name,
13. who--not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but--of God were begotten.
14. And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
15. John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
16. and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
17. for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
18. God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father-- he did declare.
19. And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?'
20. and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed--`I am not the Christ.'
21. And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' --`The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.'
22. They said then to him, `Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
