4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.

The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all [men] through him might believe.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.

9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.

John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.

22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.

25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.

33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.

And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.

And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
