John 1:15

15 John testified about him, crying out, "This is the one of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.'"

John 1:15 In-Context

13 born not from blood nor from human desire or passion, but born from God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his home among us. We have seen his glory, glory like that of a father's only son, full of grace and truth.

15 John testified about him, crying out, "This is the one of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is greater than me because he existed before me.'"

16 From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace;

17 as the Law was given through Moses, so grace and truth came into being through Jesus Christ.
