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.

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?'
