John 1:8

God's Word

John was not the light, but he came to declare the truth about the light.

See the chapter Copy

John didn’t refuse to answer. He told them clearly, “I’m not the Messiah.”

The real light, which shines on everyone, was coming into the world.

You are witnesses that I said, ‘I’m not the Messiah, but I’ve been sent ahead of him.’

Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. John told people to believe in Jesus, who was coming later.”
