And as they departed, G4198 Jesus G2424 began G756 to say G3004 to the multitudes G3793 concerning G4012 John, G2491 What G5101 went G1831 you out into G1519 the wilderness G2048 to see? G2300 A reed G2563 shaken G4531 with the wind? G417

But what G5101 went G1831 you out for to see? G1492 A prophet? G4396 yes, G3483 I say G3004 to you, and more G4055 than a prophet. G4396

Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, Among G1722 them that are born G1084 of women G1135 there has not risen G1453 a greater G3187 than John G2491 the Baptist: G910 notwithstanding he that is least G3398 in the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is greater G3187 than he.

For all G3956 the prophets G4396 and the law G3551 prophesied G4395 until G2193 John. G2491

The baptism G908 of John, G2491 from where G4159 was it? from heaven, G3772 or G2228 of men? G444 And they reasoned G1260 with themselves, G1438 saying, G3004 If G1437 we shall say, G2036 From heaven; G3772 he will say G2046 to us, Why G1302 did you not then G3767 believe G4100 him?

And they answered G611 Jesus, G2424 and said, G2036 We cannot G3756 G1492 tell. G1492 And he said G5346 to them, Neither G3761 tell G3004 I you by what G4169 authority G1849 I do G4160 these G5023 things.

John G2491 bore G3140 witness G3140 of him, and cried, G2896 saying, G3004 This G3778 was he of whom G3739 I spoke, G2036 He that comes G2064 after G3694 me is preferred G1715 before G1715 me: for he was before G4413 me.

The next G1887 day G1887 John G2491 sees G991 Jesus G2424 coming G2064 to him, and said, G3004 Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God, G2316 which G3588 takes G142 away the sin G266 of the world. G2889

And I saw, G3708 and bore G3140 record G3140 that this G3778 is the Son G5207 of God. G2316

And looking G1689 on Jesus G2424 as he walked, G4043 he said, G3004 Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God! G2316

He that has G2192 the bride G3565 is the bridegroom: G3566 but the friend G5384 of the bridegroom, G3566 which G3588 stands G2476 and hears G191 him, rejoices G5463 greatly G5479 because G1223 of the bridegroom's G3566 voice: G5456 this G3778 my joy G5479 therefore G3767 is fulfilled. G4137

He that comes G2064 from above G509 is above G1883 all: G3956 he that is of the earth G1093 is earthly, G1537 G3588 G1093 and speaks G2980 of the earth: G1093 he that comes G2064 from heaven G3772 is above G1883 all. G3956

He that has received G2983 his testimony G3141 has set G4972 to his seal G4972 that God G2316 is true. G227

The Father G3962 loves G25 the Son, G5207 and has given G1325 all G3956 things into G1722 his hand. G5495
