For the Law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

He acknowledged??e did not deny it??ut acknowledged, "I am not the Christ."

so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

In the morning he found his brother Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (a word which means Christ, the Anointed One).

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but have been sent before him.'

"I know," said the woman, "that Messiah is coming, who is called the Christ; when he has come he will tell us everything."

"Come! see a man who has told me everything that I ever did. He can't be the Christ, can he?"

"And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?

"But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."

But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

"Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, David's town?"

This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.

Then all the Jews encircled him and kept asking him. "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

"Yes, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

Then the people answered. "We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abides forever. What do you mean by 'The Son of man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of man?"

And this is eternal life, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
