In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Gen 1:1Jhn 17:5Rev 19:13Col 1:17Jhn 1:141Jn 1:1-2Rev 22:13Jhn 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. Col 1:16-171Co 8:6Rev 4:11Psa 33:6Gen 1:26Jhn 1:10Heb 1:2-3Isa 45:18 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. Mal 3:1Jhn 3:28Isa 40:3-5Act 13:24Jhn 1:33Luk 1:76Mat 11:10Mat 3:1-11 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

Jhn 1:20Jhn 3:28Act 19:4 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world. Jhn 12:46Jhn 1:41Jn 2:8Isa 49:61Th 5:4-7Jhn 1:71Jn 5:20Jhn 14:6
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn’t recognize him. Jhn 17:251Jn 3:11Co 2:81Co 1:21Mat 11:27Heb 11:3Act 17:24-27Heb 1:2-3 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. Luk 19:14Isa 53:2-3Jhn 3:32Act 7:51-52Luk 20:13-15Mat 15:24Act 3:25-26Rom 15:8 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: Gal 3:26Rom 8:141Jn 3:12Co 6:17-18Gal 4:6Jhn 3:18Mat 10:401Jn 5:12-13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 1Jn 3:9Jas 1:181Pe 1:231Pe 1:3Jhn 3:5-81Jn 5:41Jn 2:28-291Jn 4:7
The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the only born 2 Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. 1Jn 4:91Ti 3:16Gal 4:4Jhn 1:1Isa 40:5Heb 1:31Jn 1:1-2Php 2:6-8 John 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.’” Mat 3:11Col 1:17Jhn 1:1-2Jhn 1:29-34Jhn 3:26-36Luk 3:16Jhn 1:7-8Jhn 5:33-36 From his fullness we all received grace upon grace. Col 1:19Rom 5:2Eph 2:5-10Col 2:9-10Eph 4:7-13Eph 3:19Eph 1:23Rom 5:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 3 Jhn 14:6Rom 6:14Rom 3:19-26Rom 5:20-21Jhn 1:14Heb 9:22Jhn 8:32Jhn 7:19 No one has seen God at any time. The only born 4 Son, 5 who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him. Col 1:15Jhn 6:46Mat 11:27Luk 10:221Jn 4:121Ti 6:161Jn 4:91Jn 4:20
This is John’s testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” Jhn 10:24Luk 3:15-18Act 19:4Act 13:25Jhn 5:33-36Mat 21:23-32Jhn 2:18Jhn 5:10
He declared, and didn’t deny, but he declared, “I am not the Christ.” Mat 3:11-12Mrk 1:7-8Jhn 3:28-36Luk 3:15-17
They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” Deu 18:15-18Mal 4:5Mat 11:14Jhn 1:25Luk 1:17Mat 16:14Mat 17:10-12Jhn 7:40
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
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?” 2Sa 24:13
He said, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ 6 as Isaiah the prophet said.” Isa 40:3-5Mrk 1:3Mat 3:3Jhn 3:28Luk 1:16-17Luk 1:76-79Luk 3:4-6
The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. Luk 11:39-44Luk 11:53Mat 23:13-15Jhn 3:1-2Luk 16:14Luk 7:30Act 23:8Act 26:5 They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” Deu 18:18Deu 18:15Jhn 1:20-22Act 5:28Mat 21:23Act 4:5-7Dan 9:24-26
John answered them, “I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don’t know. Act 1:5Jhn 1:10-11Luk 3:16Mat 3:11Mrk 1:8Act 11:16Jhn 8:191Jn 3:1 He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I’m not worthy to loosen.” Luk 3:16Jhn 1:30Mat 3:11Mrk 1:7Jhn 1:15Act 19:4 These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Jhn 10:40Jhn 3:23Jdg 7:24Jhn 3:26Jhn 12:5
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, 7 the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Isa 53:71Jn 2:21Jn 3:51Pe 1:192Co 5:211Pe 2:24Isa 53:11Heb 1:3 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ Jhn 1:15Jhn 1:27Luk 3:16 I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water, that he would be revealed to Israel.” Mal 3:1Jhn 1:33Jhn 1:7Luk 1:17Isa 40:3-5Luk 3:3-4Mal 4:2-5Mat 3:6 John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. Luk 3:22Mrk 1:10Mat 3:16Jhn 1:7Jhn 5:32 I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ Act 1:5Mat 3:11Luk 3:16Tit 3:5-6Act 10:44-47Act 19:2-6Jhn 3:34Mrk 1:7-8 I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.” Psa 2:7Jhn 1:49Mat 4:31Jn 5:20Psa 89:26-27Jhn 20:31Rev 2:18Rom 1:4
Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, Mal 3:16Jhn 3:25-26 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” Jhn 1:291Pe 1:19-20Isa 65:1-2Heb 12:2Isa 45:22 The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Rom 10:17Jhn 1:43Rev 22:17Zec 8:21Jhn 4:39-42Eph 4:29Pro 15:23 Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What are you looking for?” Jhn 18:7Jhn 3:2Jhn 1:49Jhn 18:4Pro 8:34Psa 27:4Jhn 12:21Jhn 3:26
They said to him, “Rabbi” (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), “where are you staying?”
He said to them, “Come and see.” Luk 24:29Mat 11:28-30Jhn 6:37Jhn 1:46Jhn 4:40Pro 8:17Rev 3:20Jhn 14:22-23
They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. 8 One of the two who heard John and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. Mrk 1:16-20Mat 4:18-22Jhn 1:40-42Luk 5:2-11Mat 10:2Act 1:13Jhn 6:8 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah!” (which is, being interpreted, Christ 9). Jhn 4:25Jhn 1:45Act 13:32-33Isa 2:3-5Psa 89:20Act 10:38Dan 9:25-26Jhn 1:36-37 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas” (which is by interpretation, Peter). 10 1Co 3:22Jhn 21:15-171Co 15:51Co 1:121Co 9:5Gal 2:9Mat 10:2Mat 16:17-18
On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Isa 65:1Jhn 14:8Mat 9:9Jhn 12:21Mat 4:18-211Jn 4:19Jhn 6:5Php 3:12 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Nathanael said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Jhn 7:52Jhn 7:41-42Jhn 4:291Th 5:21Luk 12:57Luk 4:28-29
Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!” Rev 14:5Psa 32:2Psa 73:1Jhn 8:39Rom 9:4Rom 9:6Jhn 8:31Rom 2:28-29

Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!” Zep 3:15Mat 27:42Zec 9:9Jhn 12:13-15Luk 19:38Mat 2:2Jhn 1:34Mat 21:5
Jesus answered him, “Because I told you, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these!” Jhn 20:29Jhn 11:40Luk 1:45Mat 25:29Luk 7:9Mat 13:12 He said to him, “Most certainly, I tell you all, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Gen 28:12Act 7:56Luk 22:43Mat 16:27-28Mrk 1:10Act 10:11Luk 2:13Mrk 14:62
