He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.”

They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
He said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”

He said: “I am

And they asked him, saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
John answered them, saying, “I baptize with water, but there stands One among you whom you do not know.
He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’
I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
I did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I came baptizing with water.”
Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.
And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”
They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

“Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”
“How do you know me?” Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
