The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came th

Jesus, The True Light
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light so that through him all might believe.
