John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’”

This is He on behalf of whom I said, ‘After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.’

Nathanael *said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”

The royal official *said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”

Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.

Nicodemus (he who came to Him before, being one of them) *said to them,

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the Passover to purify themselves.

Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
