the law indeed was delivered by Moses, but grace and truth was the dispensation of Jesus Christ.

he own'd it, and did not deny it; but made this protestation, I am not the Christ.

"why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elias, nor any other prophet?"

the first he met was his own brother Simon, to whom he said, "we have found the Messias," that is to say, the Christ.

you yourselves can bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but was only sent before him:

then said the woman to him, I know that the Messias (that is to say the Christ) is to come, and when he is come, he will tell us all things.

see a man who told me all that ever I have done: is not this the Christ?

now it is not for what you have said, that we believe: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the saviour of the world, the Christ.

and we have believed and we have acknowledged that you are the Christ, the son of God.

however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came.

besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
